We were talking to another couple about doing a 2 week tour to Japan in 2025. They are used to luxury travel and were insistent on doing a particular, very expensive tour and going in the peak of cherry blossom season.

Finally getting this out in the open. I am sure that many cities the world over are misspelled by many people, including myself. (does Abbabba have two double B's?? Or is is just the one?)
