Here you’ll find Nio statues and treasures, including the Lotus Sutra and a collection of poetry. Then, head to the Tokyo National Museum and immerse yourself in Japanese art, including woodblock prints, sculptures, and textiles. Afterward, go to Tokyo SkyTree, the second-tallest structure in the world, and view Tokyo from the observation deck.

Food in Japan

Japan is well known for its understated and balanced cuisine. As an island nation, there is a heavy emphasis on seafood, such as the internationally renowned sushi and sashimi. However, noodles are also very popular in both restaurants and on the streets. Udon is made from wheat, while its cousin, soba, is made from buckwheat. Finding halal options in Japan has become increasingly more common, and many establishments will clearly state that they offer them.
