It's so much more expressive and looks like it has so much more creative energy than the New smb series. Excited to play this

An absolute blast! So much good food there. We essentially planned our trip around the food and restaurants we would try and said "this is the best meal of our lives" on quite a handful of different meals lol. 10/10 would recommend

Thanks for the helpful advice! Already looking forward to my next trip, hopefully will have my N2 by then

Tips: check tabelog (Japanese yelp) for restaurant recs. They're real harsh on reviews there -- if a restaurant is rated above 3.5 you know you're in for a good meal, and finding one above 4 is very rare. Many of the "best meals of my life" I talked about were from restaurants rated about 3.8 or so on tabelog (the 4+ ones were too expensive or too hard to book).

If you know some Japanese, calling restaurants to reserve will sometimes let you eat somewhere that you wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Many restaurants in Japan are very small and/or reservation only without an online option, so being able to reserve in Japanese is a huge advantage. I used Skype to get a Japanese number to reserve with

In terms of Japanese language, like the other guy said prioritize your katakana reading ability. It's by far the most useful bang for buck you could get in terms of language ability.

I did a lot of research before I went so there wasn't much that we didn't expect, but one big thing was how gruelling the jet lag is after the 13 hour flight. We definitely didn't schedule enough restful days upon landing, and next time we'll be sure to take it easy when we first arrive. Best of luck planning your trip!

Inspiring! My wife and I are too tied down in the west to move to Japan anytime soon unfortunately, but it's reassuring to see that even people who live there have a hard time lol

kronicmage, 10 months ago

I'll give that a shot!

We thought about that, but this was our honeymoon trip and we really didn't want to mess with our schedule when we have the full day wedding to take care of as well. Maybe next time!

Wow this is exactly like the stock images of the internet as a whole 20-30 years ago. Amazing how time is a circle, hope federated stuff doesn't get enshittified in the same way the normal internet did
