2. Your travel experience
I'm a solo traveler, but i've been to Japan before. Nevertheless the language barrier is there esp i cant read nor speak Japanese. However I treat this as challenge and adventure.
Traveling w/ my gears is indeed heavy, but thats what i get for not having zoom lens :| Nevertheless i feel safe travelling w/ my gears in Japan.


3. Nice places for photo shooting
Japan has many nice place. Its down to what you want to shoot. I could summarize that every city or prefecture is different. So I would recommend try to go to few prefecture is possible.

4. Tips and skills for travel photography
[b]Nil. I suck =__=

5. Things to be careful or take note
Try to have a ziplock plasticbag and velcro stap in ur bag. It would come in handy in rainy/wet conditions
