I know there are a few things to do in Japan:[br]- Akihabara- Tokyo Tower- Japanese theater- Mount Fuji- Maid Cafe- Getting lost on the bullet train[br]What else is there to do in Japan besides those? I'm really interested but there aren't many travel guides yet.

To help others entering this thread, I'll explain what you talked about first and then go on with other ideas for sight seeing.[br][br][color=#3289c7]Akihabara[/color], also known as electric town is a popular sight seeing place as it's considered one of the most high-tech places to visit in the world.[br][br][color=#3289c7]Tokyo Tower[/color], built around 1958, it is known as Japan's Eiffel Tower as it was influence by the Eiffel Tower in France. It is usually demolished in action based movies like Godzilla.[br][br][color=#3289c7]Mount Fuji[/color] towers at a massive 12,388 feet, it is the biggest mountain/volcano in Japan and can be seen from many different ways. It's widely known that people don't climb mount fuji more than once.[br][br][color=#3289c7]Japanese Theater[/color], there are many different styles of Japanese theater such as the classical Noh, Bunraku, and Kabuki. [br][br][color=#3289c7]Maid Cafe/Butler Cafe[/color], these cafe are popular amongst teenagers and young adults. It's a place where you can be served like you own the restaurant. Girls dress up as maids and call you master. There are also Butler Cafe where the roles are reversed (Butlers serve females).[br][br] [color=#df7242]There are a lot more to do in Japan than just these few things. Let's look into some ideas on what you can do in Japan.[/color][br][br][color=#d43535]Visit Shrines[/color], it doesn't matter what religion you are, visiting these shrines can be a spiritual experience or at the very least cultural. [br][br][color=#d43535]Experience Flash floods[/color], this is a given if you go to Japan. Odds are, you'll be experiencing a flash flood if you stay long enough![br][br][color=#d43535]Hiroshima Museum[/color], I think most Americans visit the Hiroshima Museum when they're in Japan. It's' an emotional museum depicting the horrors of the aftermath of Hiroshima (nuclear war). It's a must see![br][br][color=#d43535]The Golden Pavilion[/color] is also something that you may want to see. It's literally a golden pavilion.[br][br][color=#d43535]Participating in a Tea Ceremony[/color], they take forever to participate in and participating in a tea ceremony is hard to do. There are some that you can pay to experience but personally if you are a part of a legitimate ceremony with meaning, you'll feel greatly rewarded.[br][br][color=#d43535]Roppongi / Roppongi Hills[/color] is a place that is seldom mentioned but it's a rapidly growing commercial district with hundreds of shops. Spend your money wisely![br][br][color=#d43535]Tokyo Disneyland / Disney Sea[/color] they are both different with their own attractions. It's a unique experience that you can get in Japan![br][br][color=#d43535]Tsukishi Fish Market[/color], unfortunately the famous Tsukishi Fish Market is meeting its end in 2016 as it will be replaced by the wholesale market supposedly due to the Tokyo Olympics of 2020. I don't really know what it will be like but it supposedly will be intense. If you want to see the Tsukishi Fish Market before it changes, this is your last year![br][br]There's much more to do, Japan has A LOT of culture and as much as I would like to write more ideas on what to do, I need to get to work on Jappleng. I hope this was useful to you and for any guests reading, please be sure to register an account, it's free for life and you get to participate in these forums and other parts of the site.[br]

Dang, that's a nice list! I saw somewhere where you can feed deer and they bow for food.

Of course! There's a lot more to do in Japan, Japan literally has tens of thousands of sight seeing things, and even more things that aren't well known to the general gaijin. For instance, I mentioned the maid cafe, which isn't exactly exclusive to Japan if you live in an area with a lot of Japanese interest or anime conventions... There are [i]other[/i] kinds of cafes.[br][br][color=#3289c7]First: Maid Cafe[/color][br][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/59/aa/50/59aa50ec65418784f458a5ff34ccc922.jpg[/img][br](Already discussed)[br][br][color=#3289c7]Next: Gaming Cafe[/color][br][img]https://jaapan.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/space-station-osaka-07.jpg[/img][br]This is a different type of cafe where you go in and play games kind of like an internet cafe. These are gaining ground beyond just Japan and has even seen light in some parts of the US and all across east-asia. [br][br][color=#3289c7]Onwards: Themed Cafe[/color][br][img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EGcZ9p9ow1s/U-VUC745xZI/AAAAAAAAEng/3jfzuvTxgCk/s1600/IMG_2841.JPG[/img][br]From the Gundam cafes to the Moomin cafe, there's a theme cafe for a lot of different things in Japan.[br][br][color=#3289c7]Hardcore stuff: Cat Cafe[/color][br][img]http://dishmag.com/issue165/pets/15114/uploads/186/CATS/ACatCafe.jpg[/img][br]If you're hardcore, you'll bring your cat to the cat cafe! There are many of these and oddly they are popular.[br][br]Okay, that's a lot of cafe stuff, but what about other things? Well, let's say you want to go to a museum that isn't relating so much to any world war... I present to you the [color=#3289c7]Studio Ghibli museum[/color]![br] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/0d/aa/a5/0daaa51e4b22b52066fb2240a49d9e13.jpg[/img][br][br] If you want some more anime related awesomeness, head over to [color=#3289c7]Sakaiminato[/color] in the Tottori Prefecture to see statues of Mizuki's creation all over town. I'm not kidding! Unfortunately there's no way you'll be able to meet the famous Mizuki as he recently passed away a few days ago...[br][br][img]https://centreforjapanesestudies.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/img_5460.jpg[/img][br][br]I'll post some more stuff some other time to sight-see because I'm a little preoccupied trying to meet the Jappleng launch date :)[br][br]Hope this post was useful![br]

I have a feeling that it would take a month just to get through the different types of cafe in Japan
