Good morning from Tokyo! Another beautiful day is unfolding here. I only have two more nights left in Tokyo before I head back to Seattle.

 

One thing that strikes me about Japan is the favorable exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen, making many things surprisingly inexpensive here. However, amidst the affordability, I've noticed that I've been walking a lot more in Tokyo. I'm averaging over 10,000 steps a day, which is three to four times more than when I'm in Seattle. It feels like I'm leading a healthier lifestyle here, although I have to be mindful of the saltiness in many of the delicious foods available. 

 

If you ever get the chance, I highly, highly recommend visiting Japan from the United States. It's remarkably clean and safe. Japanese cuisine is not only tasty but also affordable. Even the hotel where I'm staying, one of the better ones in Japan, costs half the price of a similar class hotel in the United States.

 

When you come to Japan, make sure to explore Kyoto and other historic places. Even just staying in Tokyo, you'll encounter numerous temples, shrines, bustling shopping districts, and vibrant nightlife scenes. If you need any assistance finding accommodation or planning your visit, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'd be happy to help!
