(The icon of Osaka) (Kyoto Tower;The Japanese and their love affair with radio towers) The prices in general have climbed significantly in Japan. Where are the bargains then? Read on Attraction  Nara Park One of my top picks is Nara Park. Nara is one hour train ride away from Osaka. If anyone is looking for the great outdoor experience, the park is an excellent choice. Visitor can buy a deck of peanut cookies at ¥200 to feed the deer. Once the deer see you holding onto the biscuit, you can be sure a herd will be forming around you to grab a bite. The biscuit will be gone in a minute. The deer, like the Japanese, are well-mannered. They will bow to the visitors to get a biscuit. Remember to be constantly on the move before one gets sworn by many deer. The deer are cute, but they can get aggressive. No ticket is required for this attraction. One could spend a full morning looking at those fascinating animal.  (Deer feeding on peanut biscuits) Street of Uji Uji is just 20 mins fr...

(Osaka Tower) I just came back from a trip to Japan. My family was able to experience the warm hospitality offered by the country from our trip to Nagoya and Tokyo 2 years ago. Here we are, back again, for more wonderful experience. These are the 10 things you need to know about Japan.  Politics   LDP or Liberal Democratic Party is the ruling party in Japan. Sanae Takaichi is the current Prime Minister of Japan. The number 1 priority of the government is to solve the inflation problem.
