Japan Vacation Review: Tokyo, Kyoto, Kii Peninsula, Tea Ceremony, Nature, Local Cuisine, Boat Ride, Festival, 3-Week Tour

So many..... a few:
In/ around Kyoto: the instructive tea ceremony and the fascinating matcha tea making workshop at the Uji plantation.
In the Kii Peninsula: everything on the Kumano Kodo trail -- the forests, the food, the walking adventure, the river boat trip, the trains right next to the coastline.
In Tokyo: the impressive Teamlabs experience, the very fun fireworks festival.
