Japan’s rice fields are great to visit during the summer when the grasses are high because when the wind blows, the grass almost looks like it’s dancing with the wind 🌬🍃

This is Heian Jingu shrine in Kyoto which dates back relatively recently to 1895. ⛩

Modelled after the Hiean era Imperial Palace (but on a smaller scale), Heian Jingu Shrine is the perfect place to enjoy a mixture of nature, culture and history! 🎑🍃🍵

Visit on the 22nd of October to enjoy their annual Jidai Festival (period-costume festival) and see what life was like in ancient Japan! 🎎

Tokyo is full of towering skyscrapers which makes it easy to find a great place to look out over the city from. 😌
The best time to visit is in the early morning or just before sunset so you can watch the beautiful sunrise or sunset over the city! 🏙

These are the top five best-selling singles in Jap

These are the top five best-selling singles in Japan according to Oricon music charts (however, Oricon's chart only count singles released since Oricon began collecting data in 1967). 🥇🥈🥉🎖

Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun, which was written and performed by Masato Shimon, is officially the best-selling single in Japan according to the Guiness World Book of Records. 🥇

However, Shimon, who didn’t believe the song would do very well, sold the rights to the song for only 50,000 yen (approx. 375 USD), missing out on what would become the biggest song of all time in Japan! 🎤

These are a few items we think are essential to moving Japan:
-🛍Souvenirs (make a good impression from the get-go!)
-🧼Deodorant (deodorant is not a big thing in Japan so make sure to bring enough to last!)
-🧴Hair & make-up products (finding products to match your hair type or shade can be very difficult for many, so make sure to stock up!)
-🔌Power adaptor (coming across power adaptors that change into Japanese voltage can be almost impossible from inside Japan)
-🌏Eco-Friendly products (if you want to cut down on the plastic, take things like bamboo toothbrushes which are hard to find!)
-💊Medicine (Japan’s drug laws are extremely strict so you may not always be able to find what you’re used to. Alternatively, you may not be allowed to bring your usual medicine in, so make sure to check beforehand!)
-🍫Your favourite snacks from home! (buying imported goods in Japan is very expensive and there’s no guarantee you can find what you’re looking for. Make sure to stock up before you go!)

What do you think of our list? 🧐

If you were moving to Japan tomorrow, what would you pack? 🛫🛍

This is Tsunoshima Bridge (角島大橋), which connects Japan’s main island of Honshu to Tsunoshima island off the coast of Yamaguchi prefecture. 🗾
