Not satisfied with catering for every single fetish you could possibly imagine they have to make up more.
Top of my bucket list is to go to Japan.
I'm fascinated with the culture.....a completely different mindset and way of thinking to 'Westerners'.
Japan is CRAZY expensive. You DO NOT get what you pay for. You pay for what is delivered ... and that is often disappointing.
My wife loves Japan for its crafts. Their attention to detail rivals that of the Swiss Watch Makers. I have little to no interest in another trip there.
What I DID like was going to Ninja Town with my son. I liked seeing their history first-hand (-vs- an Internet tour of the place) ... their pottery making style is an enduring memory. And ... their cuisine ... OMFG!!
Before you go, get some lessons in Saké drinking. This is not a thing you can learn in a session or two. Their draft beer (Kirin and Sapporo).
As for the subject of this thread: That dude has weirdo written all over him. Maybe fanatic would be a better descriptive.
