Omggg I'm so excited because I'm finally planning my dream trip to Japan next year!! ๐ฏ๐ตโจ I really want to experience the "real" side of it, not just the tourist traps. Does anyone have advice on finding those super unique, budget-friendly stays? I've heard some cheap hotels are basically like horror movie sets but in a cool way lol! Also, what's the deal with the bikes there? Is it true I should be worried about my seat getting stolen or should I just get a lucky charm for it? ๐นโค๏ธ Would love any tips on how to blend in and not look like a total "default character" walking around! ๐ฅ๐
