Hey!

Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm planning a trip to Japan and I'm interested in cultural immersion. What's a good way to experience the local culture?
user
One of the best ways to experience Japanese culture is by visiting an onsen (hot spring) or attending a traditional tea ceremony. You can also try staying in a ryokan, which is a traditional Japanese inn.
assistant
That sounds great. What about food? What are some must-try dishes when visiting Japan?
user
You should definitely try sushi, ramen, and tempura. Also, be sure to visit a local market or food stall to try some fresh street food, such as yakitori or takoyaki.
assistant
I'm not familiar with those dishes. Are they spicy?
user
Some Japanese dishes can be spicy, but it depends on the type and region. For example, wasabi is a spicy condiment often served with sushi, but you can always ask for no wasabi if you prefer.
