If you're thinking about visiting Japan, I highly recommend this seminar. I learned a lot, and even recognized some of the photos from animes that I've seen.
I was grateful for the overall orientation to Japan and then specific suggestions about where, when, and how to travel. It was comprehensive and inviting.
Richmond offered an informative presentation that targeted practical information for first-time travelers to Japan.
Another excellent seminar by Simon Richmond. A comprehensive, well-organized, well-oriented, digestible and charming approach not just to trip-planning but to planning the trip to Japan that best suits you. A really good foundation.
This is a great presentation for anyone who is thinking about visiting Japan and needs an overview of the geography and main areas of the country before deciding which area and sights they're most interested in seeing.
