Describe music that reminds you of a specific place you've traveled.

Visiting Japan in 2018 was probably the most overwhelming travel experience I've ever had. I'd always wanted to go there, and it exceeded my expectations. It felt like the closest thing possible to visiting a futuristic alien planet and civilisation. Listening to Sakura by Susumu Yokota brings to mind the same juxtaposition of tradition and modernity. One day, maybe, I'll be lucky enough to go back.
