That’s wonderful that you have working Japanese conversation skills! I wish I did. I learned some Japanese when I was a toddler in Japan and learning to speak, but lost it when we moved to Korea when I was three and didn’t pick it back up when we moved to Tokyo a few years later. I’m going to have a few phrases down by the time we visit in a few weeks, but I certainly won’t be conversational.

We’re getting so excited. I’ve been planning for months and trying to find the balance between seeing the sights and leaving enough space to spontaneously explore. We’re doing five days in Tokyo and five days in Kyoto and plan to take a private meditation class, watch sumo practice, do a tea and kimono ceremony, visit Nara Park, see the sunset from Shibuya tower, visit team lab planet, the boys are seeing a baseball game in Tokyo while joanie and I maybe hit an onsen. And we’ll see lots of sights, have great meals, and hopefully catch the last couple days of the cherry blossoms, too.
