Well well well. So you like sushi? Good thing, Japan won't disappoint you. \nIn fact, Japan is one of the few countries where I've eaten like a king and still lost weight!
I love hiking and I love Japan. So why not combine these two?

Kyoto

When in Japan, Tokyo will only give you the bustling impressin that you have seen in movies. Another side of Japan can be found in the easygoing city of Kyoto, with its temples, shrines\n and even a Geisha district. Oh by the way: If you want to buy a Katana (samurai sword) or a top notch chef's knife, this is a good place.

Tsukiji Fish Market

Welcome to the worlds biggest fish market! Here you can buy any fish seen and unseen.\n We found Norwegian salmon here (of course), but let's face it: In Japan, tuna is king!\n On the tuna auction in the early morning (a great way to make some use of your jet lag) the highest quality tunas can go for 80000NOK. Toro sushi, anyone?

Tokyo

A truly metropolis, with a mix of hyper modern and old fashioned (most of the former). Don't forget to have a drink in the bar shown in Lost in Translation. Whether you want to act as Bill Murray or Scarlett Johanssen is completely up to you..
