Hello Mi,

I’m so excited about your trip. It’s going to be amazing!
I shouldn’t give you some advice, so you can prepare for Japan. We have lots of customs and it can get a bit confusing for visitors. ☺
Firstly you has to take off your shoes when you go inside. You shouldn’t wear slippers in the house - but you didn’t have to bring any, we have extra pairs for guests. Then you have use different slippers in the bathroom and in the garden, but you’ll get used to it! You should worry - I’ll be there to help you.
All for now, gotta go…
