This is going to explain in short detail some of the things that me and my wife enjoy in Japan when we live there for six months out of the year. I am in Japan with my wife any time that I am not in school, and she comes here for usually a couple months when I am in school here in America. Nevertheless, we enjoy our selves all the time, and I would have to say that our most enjoyable time is usually spent in Japan due to all of the fun dates that we can go on. We are the type that really just likes to stay at home and watch movies together on the couch, but we do find ourselves enjoying karaoke, izakayas, fine-of-the-art restaurants, and internet cafes. To ellaborate further upon those, many couples find themselves enjoying going to places like this on dates. Karaoke is nice because all of the karaoke parlors allow you and your date to have your own private booth/room and you do not have to worry about being embarrased singing in front of people that you do not know. These rooms are equipped with an electronic library book of music that you can choose from to sing to. One can also enjoy the quick room service that these parlors offer, in which they bring one all the beer and food they desire. Izakaya's are very much a part of Japanese culture where couples, or anyone really, can go to socialize in a Japanese style bar. Do not like karaoke or going to bars, then head over to the internet cafe with your date. This is not what you think it is, this is a place of endless amusement. Couples can enjoy billiards, ping pong, darts, drinking, computers, or pachinko. There are also private rooms that you can rent to just hang out and spend time with your partner.
The above photos were taken in Japan, and one of those was taken in the electronic district of Tokyo called Akihabara. Tokyo is a couple of hours from me and my wifes home in Japan, but we enjoy going to Tokyo at least once a year. It is a true blast and is a place where one can really loose track of time, but that is what being with your partner is all about, loosing sense of time and enjoying the moment.
