PLACES TO STAY
With all the walking you'll be doing in Japan, you will need a place to rest!
Great hotel for travelers just getting into Tokyo!
Calling all Manga Nerds to the stage! This manga themed hotel is right at the heart of Asakusa near the train stations, and popular tourist attractions. Also, has a pretty hefty manga collection for you to read at your leisure in the lobby as you enj...
Hands down my favorite hotel while visiting Japan! Granbell located in Osaka, Japan (because when in Japan we are not only visiting Tokyo righttt?). Walking distance from Dontonbori, and pretty spaciaous compared to the standard hotel room sizes in J...
Stay Sakura is an apartment style hotel that has cool features for travelers including washer/dryer in the rooms, fully stocked kitchenette, and a large spacious room that can accommodate multiple guests.
Tsutaya Ryokan is for the travelers who want to try out an Onsen town. This was a traditional style accommodation that included kimonos and getas, full service breakfast, and dinner, and a key to access all the onsens in the town. I loved this one in...
FOR THE FOODIES!
The food was top tier! This list is not for picky eaters😋
For all my Ramen lovers and especially my introverted ramen lovers, you have to stop at an Ichiran Ramen spot. Very tourist friendly, and you have the option of sitting alone or with a group.
If I could only eat one thing the entire time on my trip to Japan it would be this! OMG! Gyukatsu was by far my FAVORITE restaurant in Japan. The deep fried beef cutlets just melts. Ugh so tender😮💨
Sometimes the best spots are the ones you find when you get lost😅 This was by far the tastiest Ramen I've had in Japan. It's a small shop and not really made for group eating (another match made in heaven for my fellow introverts). I found this afte...
Sooo remember when I said this list was not for picky eaters? This is what I meant. Takoyaki is a ball shaped Japanese snack with a pancake like base batter filled with diced octopus, tempura, ginger, and green onions. Topped with bento flakes and so...
Okonomiyaki is NOT a pancake but it's shaped like one and is a savory dish commonly cooked with cabbage, meat, and/or seafood. What really takes this dish to the next level are the toppings which is usually Japanese mayo, okonomiyaki sauce, aonori, k...
FUN ACTIVITIES
Fun is what you make it right? This list features attractions and activities.
For all my singers who love a good Karaoke session there are A LOT of karaoke bars in Japan. We happened to stumble (literally) after a night out into this Karaoke bar and had a great time! They have an extensive list of different genres available.
teamLab Planets was a great immersive experience into different art styles with each room you entered. You have to walk in almost knee deep water so be prepared for that but overall a cool experience!
Ofcourse I have to include some activities for my fellow Anime lovers! Check out the Naruto x Boruto theme parks. There are two so make sure to do your research and reserve your tickets. You get to embark on missions as well which is so cool, and enj...
Checkout Umeda Sky Building for an amazing view of the city! Catch some cool photo ops while going up or down the escalator as well.
For my History lovers visit the Osaka Castle! The line does get long so reserve your tickets in advance and get there early.
