Japan is one of the countries in Asia

Japan is next to China, Souce Korea, North Korea
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)

if you're going to stay only in Tokyo, it's fine. but some local spot is not well.
Airport
Tokyo has 2 airports
Narita Airport(NRT)
Haneda Airport(HND)

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.
Narita express is a nice one.
