Toyama's Hidden Eats?

fmd_good Toyama

So I'm heading to Toyama next month, it's a work trip, kinda boring but hey, gotta pay the bills. I've heard whispers, though… rumors of incredible, tiny ramen shops tucked away down alleyways, pla… more

Toyama's ramen scene is intense. Forget the guidebooks. Ask your hotel concierge – they often know the best hole-in-the-wall spots frequented by locals. Or, even better, strike up a conversation with someone at your workplace – your coworkers might know some killer spots. Seriously, Japanese people are usually super helpful, and their English is surprisingly good, especially in business contexts. That's your best bet for finding those legendary ramen places. Good luck on your quest for perfect broth; sounds like an adventure!

Lost in Belle Salle Shinjuku

fmd_good Belle Salle Shinjuku Ground

So I'm heading to Belle Salle Shinjuku Ground next week for a conference. Heard the building's pretty massive, a proper maze. Anyone been there? Seriously worried about getting lost trying to find… more

Yeah, Belle Salle Shinjuku is a monster. I've been to a few events there, and it's always a bit of a scramble. Download their floor plan before you go – seriously, do it now. Print it out if you’re old school like me. Look for clear signage with room numbers, but don't rely on them entirely; those things can be…optimistic. Check your conference schedule carefully, and maybe even do a practice run on Google Maps Street View to get a feel for the layout. That building is so big, it’s got its own micro-climate. Good luck, you'll need it!

Seriously, a micro-climate? That's hilarious, but also terrifyingly accurate. I was already feeling like I was in some kind of labyrinth. Thanks for the floor plan tip, I'll totally download that. Print it out... you're right, old school is the way to go sometimes. The digital version will probably die on my phone anyway. I appreciate the Street View suggestion too, I shoulda thought of that. Thanks again!
