Japan - the new holiday destination du jour?

So, how many people do you know have been recently, are going to, or even, are in, Japan, at the moment?

Does it feel like you have to "get there now, before the place is over run with visitors"?

Anyway, for me, this trip to Japan is a kickstarter of my own. It's going to kickstart all sorts of things for me, like starting a diary (online, no less), starting a blog (this one), taking more photographs, observing people, etc etc.. well something to do anyway. How long it's going to last? Well, let's wait and see - how long before I get bored of having nothing to write/post about to no one in particular, I guess.

But, it's something to do.
