One more for the road:
Would be a cool place to visit
ReplyDeleteCheap Trick was big in Japan. As was Survivor.
DeleteI think of Tokyo as a very crowded city. But I've never been there.
I would add Toshiro Mifune whom I love. For some reason I never felt strong to visit this place despite the history
ReplyDeleteI'll look up Mifune.
DeleteI'd recommend a visit to either Hiroshima or Nagasaki (I went to Nagasaki) and Kyoto.
