[Good Things about traveling in Japan]
* Safety
It's a very safe country. You will see so many vending machines and 24h open convenience stores everywhere.
* Food
Even though cheep fast food like Gyudon, Osho...etc, there are no places that taste bad. Usually, restaurants are cheeper than North America and European countries. Moreover, you will see great hospitality and politeness!
* Shopping
There are lots of cool shops (clothes...etc) If you are Asian, you will find perfect size of clothes. UNIQLO and MUJI is super CHEEP and GOOD QUALITY in Japan!!
Stationary is known to be the best in the world. If you got to LOFT, you can find so many different things.
[The things that you have to be aware before you travel in Japan]
* English
There are not so many people who speak English, if you are planning on going to rural places, be prepared.
* People
They are nice in general, but they are uncomfortable speaking in English. They might be shy.

If you are vegetarian or gluten allergy, it will be difficult to find restaurants and grocery stores that has more variety.
