Culture
Most places are more attractive if you are a tourist, but I would say this is especially true for Japan. There are many unspoken rules and etiquettes which foreigners can be exempt from. Some of Japan’s charm comes from orderliness and collective obedience to the cultural codes. Mindlessly following the rules and the life’s instruction manuals is the way of life for most of its people.
