Japan is one of the countries in Asia https://gyazo.com/634d9bc1022d4dffa10222b25dc38ffe
Based on statistics published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Japan's GDP in 2021 is approximately $4.9 trillion. This is the third largest in the world after the United States and China. But I do not think so loltkgshn.icon
Also, I think Japan is the nicest country for the trip. Do not work here! (in my opinion)

cheap

Yes! Narita is so far😇
(actually, It's not located in Tokyo, It's Chiba prefecture)
Also, Japan doesn't have Uber. regulated by the goverment. it sucks.
So, recommend using public transportation, the train is best.
