What would you recommend that I see in Japan? (lemmy.world)

I've been planning a month-long trip to Japan with my sister and my soon to be wife. We have already planned out quite a few things we want to do, but if this was you, what would you want to see or do? Keep in mind that we're all rather old (I'll be turning 50 shortly).

Something different and possibly unique / whimsical.

A lot of train stations have a rubber stamp + ink pad of the station name and a logo / picture. As you trvel around Tokyo via their excellent public transport system, look around or ask their staff where the "ike-stamp" is.

It became a very unique souvenir of my holiday there.

Also along the same line, most shrines you visit will have an office where you can purchase a "shrine book" and for a few hundred yen, have a staff write in it the name of the shrine and the date you were there. Another unique souvenir.

Those are both great suggestions, thanks!
