Yeah! They have more than just fried stuff too! If you ever make it to Okinawa in the future, I'd love to take you around. Invitation is open to anyone reading this too.

But you liked the smaller part of the country eh? Okinawa is always busy with tourists... If you don't mind the long train ride, I went to this place called Tono in Iwate Prefecture. It was such a cute little town.

    When I say smaller, I should clarify it was a small industrial city near Nagoya, it's bigger than I thought, but it's still somewhere few people outside japan would know about. I also got to see a slightly more urban area as well, but in both locations I was spending all day in a factory and crashing pretty hard from 12 hour jet lag at night lol.

    It left me wanting to see and try more, including the touristy stuff, but especially the national parks. The beauty I saw on the shinkansen was amazing. But in general I just enjoy going new places, meeting new people, and seeing and experiencing different cultures. Seeing parts of Japan few people outside the country see was cool even if I wished I got to see some of the more classically impressive stuff too.
