Reading this with a mix of fascination and dread. Perhaps my tea ceremony training taught me to notice aspects of Japan others don’t see at first sight. I understand your love-hate relationship so much.

At the same time, the cultural shock I experienced in my first and only visit to Japan in 2019 has faded away and I’m again excited to get back there. This time without the pink glasses.

This is beyond exciting! You absolutely MUST post your impressions and all things about Japan. I so want to go to Japan one day... until I do, I will come here. I started learning a bit of Japanese with DUO but it's only a few words :)
