Last Breakfast & Lunch in Tokyo
OK so it’s Sunday, we have a plane to catch, but before that we still have two amazing meals in Japan to enjoy! First order of business: fish market for breakfast. We wanted to try a new one, so alarms were set for seven AM and we were out the door by 7:30. We went… Continue reading

First Day in Sendai
We chilled at the new hotel for a bit, anticipating dinner at Sushi Toku, which is the chef’s name. Toku, not Sushi 😀 We have very few pictures suddenly, but we headed out beforehand to this weird tiny little bar (I wanna say on the third floor?) where a very charismatic bartender/owner entertained us for… Continue reading

Morning in Hakodate, Off to Aomori
It was a jet-lag victory: slept in ’till 7:00AM! We all headed to the local fish market for breakfast of course, and adventures were had. The abalone was a bit of a shock.

Robert did a ton of research for this trip, including reading some (translated) Japanese blogs of things to do here and there. One of these local bloggers highly recommended a tiny sushi restaurant hidden deep in the middle of the… Continue reading

Waking Up in Tokyo
Managed to sleep in ’till 6:15AM our first morning. Considering the giant time change, that was quite a victory. Maybe last night’s Japanese Whiskeys helped? 😀 In any event we leapt out of bed, anxious to get out & about. Tokyo’s obviously a gigantic urban sprawl but it has many many green spaces tucked in… Continue reading

Touchdown Japan!
Woke up and grabbed the hotel shuttle to Terminal 1 ANA check-in. We felt very superior having only carry-on luggage, the airline employees kept asking where was the rest of our luggage 😀 We did see one poor person at the ANA ticket counter who was frantically trying to repack her bags–I guess one was… Continue reading
