Hi nankatsu, thank you for the reading recommendation, a book i have heard of but never read. I have always been told about the two facades that exist in Japan, but as a curious gaijin i guess I was only really exposed to the one that caters to the westerners.
What intrigues me the most is the relationship between the new and the old (eg religion and modern city life), especially if you talk about modern medicine and the way mental illness is treated, is this something you can comment on (sorry chaps, veering away from bikes i know...)?
Apart from that, pretty expensive place if you are planning a holiday, but am pretty sure that most people on this forum will appreciate everything that Japan has to offer.
Try and get over there guys at some point!
