I just spent 3 weeks in Japan. Here are my top recommendations for food and awesome sights…
Food
This fantastic conveyor belt sushi bar isn’t actually in Tsukiji. It’s in a charming shopping street called Musashikoyama. But this sushi would stand up anywhere.
You can order in English via tablet. Get the akagai, or ark shell clam.
The best tempura I’ve ever had. They also have incredible magurodon.
The owner is very sweet. There’s an English menu, which is always super helpful. And there’s even a young lady waitress here who speaks perfect English!
The finest French toast anywhere. They soak it in cream overnight. All the bread is baked in house.
English menu available!
Last but never, ever least! This fantastic diner can get you just about food you want. It’s delicious, fast, and very reasonably priced.
I especially love the drink bar, where you can enjoy unlimited coffee, juice, seltzer, soda and more!
I ate here more than anywhere else on my trip! It’s the perfect breakfast spot. Try the pancakes with shaved butter.
You can order in English via tablet too!
I provided a link to the location I visited, but there are many across Japan.
Sightseeing
Japan has countless gorgeous gardens. But I especially enjoyed this one!
The wooded paths are uncrowded. They branch off in every direction, giving you the feeling of being lost in nature in the middle of the city.
Admission is just 500 yen, or about $3! An absolute steal.
This famous garden right near Shinjuku Station is easy to get to and filled with massive trees and beautiful flowers. Admission is a rock bottom 500 yen, or about $3.
Be sure to check out the rose garden!
This garden is conveniently located right in Meguro. And yet, it’s so heavily wooded you’d think you were deep into rural Japan!
The staff here are very nice, and admission is just a couple hundred yen. Please consider giving the extra donation for a total of 1000 yen.
Just 20 minutes from Shinagawa Station in Tokyo via Shinkansen, this beautiful castle is not to be missed. In the adjacent Samurai Museum, you can see a chain two brothers used to strangle the man who killed their father.
The beach a couple blocks away makes a wonderful place to relax after!
Wrap Up
My goal is to get every single person to visit Japan. That includes you!
You won’t find kinder people, more delicious food, or more amazing sights. I’ve been 7 times and I’m already planning an 8th trip.
To all the wonderful Japanese people I met and who made this great society, a very hearty thank you! I look forward to joining you again soon.
日本人の皆さん、本当にありがとうございます！すぐ戻りたいです！

I used this app every single day to dictate to my computer, I’m even dictating this text using Wispr Flow! It’s way better than Apple’s native dictation.
My productivity is up about 25% since I started dictating rather than typing. I’m also less tired and stressed.
