Locals send you for the delicious buttermilk pancakes and hot coffee, all made fresh right when you order, and they accept credit card.
This cafe offers delicious Vegan and Gluten Free options like the Eggplant BLT, and is a 5-minute walk from Fukushima station.
Go here for the excellent coffee, where you can choose different beans for your latte, and enjoy tasty sandwiches or lemon pound cake with WiFi.
Locals recommend the delicious burgers like the avocado or spicy volcano with added bacon, paired with craft IPAs or 12-year old Yamakazi, noting the manager from Nepal cooks your burger.
Go for the delicious tiramisu with a strong coffee hint, or an Ethiopian hand brew with white grape and peach notes; try to go early for the chocolate croissant as it sells out.
Locals send you for a western-style breakfast and the excellent strawberry soda, but be aware the french toast can be sold out as they make new batches.
Locals send visitors here for the exceptional tuna, especially the bluefin tuna rice or uni + rice bowl, found in a super cool small alley location with owners who offer delicious surprises.
This cafe opens early, serving delicious Dutch Baby’s and seasonal sodas; look for their shield on the main road to find the small back alley entrance before 10am to walk in without a reservation.
This intimate 2-person operation offers a memorable dining experience where the chef’s creativity shines through every course, with delightful flavor combinations and recommended wine and sake pairings.
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum left me quiet for hours afterward, hard to put into words how heavy and important that visit felt. Balancing it with Dotonbori's street food chaos the night before gave the trip an emotional range I did not expect from a package tour.
Itsukushima's floating gate at high tide is one of those postcard moments that actually lives up to the hype.
Fushimi Inari at sunrise, all those gates, absolutely worth the early wake up call.
Kinkaku-ji was gorgeous but absolutely swarmed with tour groups when we arrived, could barely get a clean photo of the pavilion. Everything else on this Kyoto leg was smooth.
Moving between three cities in six nights sounds hectic on paper but the pacing worked well for a solo trip - enough structure that I never had to plan logistics, enough free time to wander Dotonbori on my own terms.
Walking the Fushimi Inari gates at first light with hardly another soul around is the memory I keep coming back to.
