I am in Tokyo since last 6 days. It is my first visit to Japan. Japanese are very different from other people of the world.
They are very calm and quiet, shy but sincere.Very conservative yet modern. Modest but strong.

I had visited Osaka, Herosema, Kyoto, Kobe and Kofu besides Tokyo. These are nice places. Japan Rail is very friendly and cheap to foreigners.
Thanks,

Japanese have preserved the terrifying memory of nuclear attack by US in 1945. Museum in Hiroshima. Once you visit Hiroshima you can understand how horrible the attack and its affect was!

I have no idea of Japanese food.Really is it so difficult for vegetarians to survive in Japan. Can't they substitute meat with Tofu or something like they do in Thai restaurants here in US?

There are plenty of vegitarians in Japan (of course) but for tourists moving around a lot and eating in restaurants where they may not be able to navigate menus and such easily, it could be a bit of an effort. Another reason not to be a vegitarian if you ask me.
What have you seen in Tokyo so far?

I tasted meat first time when I was almost 18. So far 4 times I have taken meat and every time I feel so guilty and sometimes even have nightmares. When we are born into a certain family then it is difficult to overcome that upbringing. Being vegetarian really isn't a "choice" at least for someone like me.

No law says you have to eat meat, but it can make travel more difficult and present some hazards if you visit someone's home in another country.
