DISCOVER JAPAN

Definitely eat conveyor belt sushi, drink the matcha green tea or eat it because it's in everything, have a picnic near a canal, go hiking, experience an onsen, ride bikes through town, visit shrines, etc.

Highlights

I lived in Kyoto but visited Osaka, Nara, and Fushimi Inari.

Barcode Karaoke Bar (most tourists have no idea how to find this place)
Sushi
Visit Nara and have the deer bow down to you
Wander around Oska with no plan in mind. I did just that and found Korea Town, a cute shopping district, and great Okinomiyoako!
Saw a real Geisha
Visited Shrines
Wandered through Gion and also witnessed a light festival
Matcha Tea Ceremony
Onsen
Hiking of course

FOOD & DRINKS

Ramen, sushi, and gyoza were my frequent meals of choice! Shabu-shabu is also a fun meal to share with others. I love my cocktail bars so of course I have some beautiful concoctions to share!
