Watch Pearls Be Hunted

We’ve all heard of scuba diving and cruising out into the sea. Why not try something different? How about watching professional divers search for pearls? Doesn’t it sound so interesting and so intriguing? I mean, it’s so novel. And who even knew you could watch someone hunt for pearls for no price at all. This is an ancient tradition in Japan, and it’s carried out in the Mikimoto Pearl Island. These divers dive into the ocean without any scuba gear. Furthermore, divers are usually women, and they continue to dive into the ocean of Mikimoto until their 70s and 80s.

Sleep in a Capsule Hotel

Japan is such a unique country that words cannot begin to explain its uniqueness and eccentricity. Imagine spending a night in a hotel where you get the chance to sleep in a capsule. Doesn’t this sound so surreal? But it’s true indeed. Populous cities like Tokyo have such hotels where the rooms are the size of bunk beds; these bunk bed-sized capsules come with a bed, which sits on the capsule floor, and a light. How simple is that? For those of you who like to try new things, apply for a Japan visa to get the opportunity to rest in one of these sci-fi themed hotel rooms.

Choose a Festival to Party In
