Went to Tokyo and Kyoto Japan for 8 days... The tackle shops there are insane... Lure Ive never seen before, but I also saw a good deal of similar crossover.

Ive been waiting my whole life to go to japan... I have been all over the world.. Ive seen plenty, been to Europe 13 times, and NOTHING compares to the experience i had in japan... Its a complete culture shift, and a pleasant one at that. I only had 8 days but I spent 4 days on tokyo then 4 days in Kyoto, so I saw both modern and traditional japan.

if you are thinking of going, DO NOT let life sip by without going. Im alreadt thinking about how to get back there again.
