My opinion about my trip to Tokyo, Japan, and some last photos from my accommodations and the streets
Morning in Tokyo streets at 5 AM. On my way to the metro station
I can already say that I don’t see any reason to come back again—even to another city in Japan. My main goal was to visit all the major places I had planned in Tokyo, and I basically achieved that. The only places I didn’t visit were DisneySea and teamLab Planets. To be honest, I didn’t feel 100% motivated to go there anyway, and another reason was that tickets were completely sold out. If I had the chance to buy them, I probably would have gone.
I think Japan is fine for a one-time vacation, but I realized that this country is just not for me, even for a short stay. I’m not exactly sure why, but Asian countries seem to push me away a bit, and I felt somewhat uncomfortable during my time there. When I compare it to European countries I’ve visited, the difference is clear. In Europe, I usually feel comfortable and relaxed, like I could stay longer and live my normal daily life there. Here, it was the opposite. I had a similar feeling when I visited Thailand and Vietnam, so maybe it’s something about the atmosphere. From my experience so far, European countries suit me much better.
Overall, I’m really happy that I saw everything with my own eyes. Japan is definitely a unique, clean, and well-organized country. But at the same time, I realized that it’s not a place where I feel completely comfortable. For me, it was a one-time experience where I experienced Japanese culture for a week and gained something important from it.

My trip to Seoul, South Korea turned out to be surprisingly smooth—maybe even easier than my experience in Japan. From the moment I arrived at the airport to getting into the city, everything just felt convenient and intuitive....
My opinion about my trip to Tokyo, Japan, and some last photos from my accommodations and streets
I already can say that I don't see any reasons to come back again. Even though it can be another city in Japan. My main goal was to watch and visit all major places that I preferred in Tokyo. Of course I realized all of it completely and visited all places, except DisneySea and teamLab Planets. But in reality, I didn't have feelings about visiting them 100%, and the next reason I just couldn't buy tickets was that everything was sold. If I had the opportunity to buy tickets, I probably would buy tickets and visit them.
Well, I think Japan isn't bad for one time of vacation, but I realized this specific country is still not for me, even for a short time. I don't know why, but all Asian countries push me away, and I felt myself a bit uncomfortable during my stay. For example, I can compare it with European countries that, during my trips, I felt comfortable in, and I even thought I didn't want to leave them. I just wanted to stay there and spend my day as I would on my regular days. But here, it was the opposite, it happened again, because when I visited Thailand, Vietnam, and others, I felt the same feelings. Maybe it's related to that unique atmosphere that is present here or something else. To be honest, I realized that European countries are the best from my travel experiences.
Overall, I'm so happy that I saw everything with my eyes. Japan is definitely a unique, clean, and organized country. But at the same time I realized that it's not a place where I felt comfortable. For me it was just a one-time experience, where I tried Japanese culture during the one week and got important experience.
