Me and my daughter went to New York in May and absolutely loved the place. She'd like to go back next year but I think we should visit somewhere different but deep down it'd be nice to go back to New York.
Anyway, I guess what I'm asking is, is Japan nice? Also on the list is India; is India nice? Japan looks expensive (as is New York).
It's a tough decision. What would you do oh travelled ones?

But it will be expensive. Both the travel, and also accomidation especially if looking for somewhere nice in the capital. If you venture away from Tokyo (which you totally should do for at least some of the visit) then you do need to be mindful of the language barrier. Learning a few common phrases, and reading up on the basics of things like etiquette will go a long way to improve your experience.
Whether you pick Japan or India, or anywhere else in Asia you definitely need to prepare for a bit of a culture shock so please do research ahead of booking. I don't know anyone who went to either and had a bad time, but you'll be in for a wildly different experience to what you get in New York - If that is the kind of break you found enjoyable."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51017447","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashbeck"},"datePublished":"2023-09-19T15:09:38.000Z","text":"I'd sat Japan or even South Korea.

India is like a continent all to itself and can be quite daunting and intimidating.
You need to do your research.
No experience of Japan although it's not somewhere that especially appeals."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51019965","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"tempt"},"datePublished":"2023-09-19T21:43:35.000Z","text":"India is no place to visit for a young lady, Japan is a safe bet."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51020557","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"James_SmithsAX"},"datePublished":"2023-09-20T04:04:56.000Z","text":"When deciding on your next travel destination, take into consideration your budget, preferences, weather, and length of stay. If you loved New York's urban vibe, Tokyo might be a good fit, while India offers a more spiritual experience.

Japan all day for me.
It's an amazing place, lots of culture, history, modern weirdness, amazing food, transport.
Cleanest, friendliest and safest country I've ever been to.
Autumn is an amazing time. Colours all changing. Still warm at times but not hot. Tourism is alot lower than cherry blossom season."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51301234","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"tawse57"},"datePublished":"2023-10-29T17:05:48.000Z","text":" This Brit has a load of great videos on where to visit in Japan. I suggest watching a load as I realised that you could visit Japan without seeing the real Japan.
