words - The difference between 初めて, 最初に and 最初



初めて日本に行った時、友達のお母さんが伝統的な和式朝食を作ってくれました。


The first time I went to Japan, my friend's mother made me a traditional Japanese breakfast.




If I wrote the opening of the sentence in the following manner, how would the meaning change?



最初に日本に行った時、

最初日本に行った時、



In this context, what is the difference between 初めて, 最初に and 最初?
