There are a ton of places I have on my places to see, things to do Japan list. A few I have already been to and those are in bold.  But I thought it would be a good idea to share my list, for those who may be planning a trip to Japan or someone who lives here and looking for a new place to explore. I will update the list as I do things or find new places to add. (UPDATED: Oct 7, 2014 with new places and things I have done.)
