I went to Japan repeatedly back in my High Tech Corporate Daze, and got to see only a bit of the rural parts. Yakushima Island looks pretty amazing! The entire Island Population of ~14,000 equals, oh, about 2 square Kilometers of Tokyo density. Click on any of the Pictures linked below to read various Articles, and Blogs.
As they say on Radio Stations occasionally when conducting Emergency Broadcast Transmissions: 'This is a Test. This is only a Test'. Being around Drinking Relatives is 'only a Test', and a daunting one that reads as if you're coping well with. IMO, these sorts of situations were the toughest aspects of my Sobriety until I got practiced and facile at holding my ground. Regardless of the consequences. Ain't nobody gonna get Sober for me. I realized I was fully on my own. Negotiating Sobriety terms was/is not an option.
Alcohol consumption in Japan
is pretty stunning.
Enjoy your irreplaceable time there. The best Trips are the ones you can remember.
