Best Unique things to do in Japan you need to know!  

Japan is one of the HOTTEST places to visit right now. So hot, you might think that you’re in a volcano 🌋. Plus during the month of March to May is when the land turns pink from the cherry blossoms turning pink. A land of pink? Where else does that ever happen? You’re going to have the most ramen-tic time of your life in the land of anime, sushi and wacky reality shows! Jetpac is here to show you a good time 😉

Real life Mario Kart Racing

Ever thought how real life Mario Karting would feel like? Now you can! Grab your favorite friend and head down to Tokyo, Osaka, and a few other cities. Costumes are provided and a dedicated route through the city is made just for you to speed through while throwing red shells at each other. Too bad you won’t be able to munch on mushrooms while you drive. You will however, need to book it in advance due to very popular demand, be at least 18 years old and have a special driving license. We just hope your driving is better here than in the game!

Maid Cafes

Maid cafes may sound like something from a dystopian future but are a common sight and part of Japanese culture there. Like the name implies, the cafe is filled with Japanese maids ready to serve you and make you feel like a king. Special performances are done as well as unique services like playing games or singing karaoke together. It might seem like a shady place to enter at first, but once you enter, you’ll be in a whole different world. Who wouldn’t want a room full of Japanese maids serving them?

Cat Island

A ISLAND FULL OF CATS? Is this a dream come true? You won’t have to wait till you’re 40 and single to experience being a cat lady now. Visit the many islands of Japan that are filled with over 100 cats and even lesser people. Originally, cats were used to deal with huge rodent problems. However, it became so successful that the cats just multiplied and now we have islands of just cats. Ain’t that crazy? A must go if you’re a cat person (or contemplating to be a cat lady).

Cup noodle museum

You’re telling me that you’re going to the land where cup noodles were invented, and not visit the museum? And you eat cup noodles almost on a daily basis. Shame on you! The Cup Noodle Museum located in Yokohama presents to you the rich history of cup noodles, the thousands of different variations, a cup noodles park, the manufacturing process and many interactive exhibits. What's more, you’ll get to design your very own cup and custom select the ingredients for the noodles.

Unique Vending Machine

Known as “jihanki” in Japan, vending machines there are not your typical vending machines. Imagine getting anything and everything but from a vending machine around the corner. Get anything from your usually hot/cold beverages, ice cream, snacks to cigarettes, toys, cooked food like hamburgers and even fresh produce like eggs and fish. And since these machines are 24/7, you can basically get them anytime which makes it so convenient. It won’t be hard for you to find something with the over 3.97 million vending machines across japan.

How to make your trip better?

Utilizing Google

Japan is definitely a place filled with so many new and interesting experiences. You will definitely need a little help from Google to discover new places and Google maps to help you find them. Google will definitely be your second best friend on this trip,so you can make full use of your time in Japan.

Book in advance

If you thought you just discovered this amazing place, then you’re definitely late to the party. Japan has been a number 1 destination for many years. Activities are usually fully booked weeks or sometimes even months in advance. You don’t wanna be that one sucker that goes to Japan and does not have a slot at any of the activities that you want to do. Book in advance and plan your trip well!

Immortalize your adventures

Record your trip! Vlog it! Instagram it! Share it to your friends! Post it on Youtube! Japan is such a crazy and amazing place to be and literally anything can happen. Just hope it isn’t the Shibuya Incident. Your friends and family would definitely want real time updates to your Instagram stories and we’re sure you want to make some of them jealous too, with all the fun you’ll be having.
