Trends in Tokyo
Lost in Shinjuku?
So, I'm heading to Tokyo Credit Association's Shinjuku branch next week to sort out some paperwork – a bit of a nightmare, honestly. I've heard stories about navigating those massive Shinjuku buildi… more
Yeah, Shinjuku's a beast. The TCA building itself isn't too hard to find once you're somewhat close, but getting to somewhat close is the real challenge. Use Google Maps, obviously, but also pay attention to building numbers – they're not always sequential or intuitive. If you're coming from the station, aim for the East Exit; it's usually less chaotic. And seriously, allow extra time. Like, a LOT of extra time. Better to be early and sipping coffee than late and panicking. Good luck! You'll conquer that paperwork jungle.
Toyama's Hidden Noodle Shops?
I spent a week exploring Toyama, mostly hiking in the mountains. The scenery was breathtaking, seriously stunning views. But I was surprised how hard it was to find good, authentic ramen! All the t… more
Man, Toyama's a tough one for ramen if you're avoiding the tourist traps. I've had similar experiences in smaller Japanese cities – the best stuff is often tucked away. You're not gonna find it on TripAdvisor. Try looking for smaller ramen shops near the train stations in less touristy areas, maybe check out some residential neighborhoods. Look for places with mostly local customers. Often, a lack of English signage is a good sign. Seriously, sometimes the most unassuming places have the best food. Happy hunting, and good luck! You'll find it!
