Sometimes the best adventures start long before the sun even rises. The alarm goes off while the world is still asleep, bags are packed, and there’s that electric mix of excitement and anticipation in the air. The streets are quiet, the sky is still dark, and it feels like you’re getting a head start on something special. Usually, I wouldn't be very excited about waking before 4 am to catch an Uber, but hey, we're going to Japan!

Shoes laced, bags in hand - we are off to adventure! Let's go!
