That genuinely looks fantastic 

if , however , you do not at least attempt to fetch back a genuine Samurai sword back to hang in the bar, It would be an absolute travesty. 

Even better,come back a fully fledged ronin....

SAMURAI-EXPERIENCE.COM

An activity of sword fighting and samurai experience that has already been experienced by over 3,000...

Japan seems a fascinating place , I would have to try and find a samurai museum or exhibition to visit , but the mix of modern cyber/neo lighting and vending machine lifestyle with the cherry blossom and traditional minka  houses . 
What about the Japanese elvis /rocker fellas they gather on a Sunday to strut their stuff well Worth a watch .

Check out the routine when you go to get petrol in Japan from a forecourt on Youtube. Somebody to fill your car,somebody to wipe your windscreen  and a cashier. They all give a synchronised bow when you leave.

That habit of taking off your shoes is civilised. We take our shoes off at the door and I know people who request you remove your shoes when you visit. It makes sense. Stops dog shit being trodden through your house for a start.

I always take my shoes of when I enter my own or anybody else's home.My missus has a cupboard right inside her front door so you can put your shoes in and step straight into indoor slippers.She goes mad as well if I even so much as sit on the edge of the bed in outdoor clothes whilst getting undressed.Apparently it's a big no no in west Indian culture.

Look how clean,and Migrant Free the streets are😍

Top of my head stats so they may be slightly out,Japan is very insular,3.5 million foreigners live there,population is 130 million?BUT it's an ageing population,they are trying to attract another three quarters of a million immigrants,I don't know why,but I keep wanting to shout BANZAI when reading this thread.
