Trends in Tokyo
Shinjuku Bank Blues?
So, I'm heading to @Tokyo next month for work, and my company's using the Tokyo Credit Association Shinjuku Branch Office for some transactions. I've heard Shinjuku is CRAZY busy. My question is: H… more
Shinjuku at lunchtime is... intense. Let's just say it's not a stroll in the park. That area is packed. However, a bank branch is usually pretty organized, even in the middle of the madness. They'll likely have a system in place to handle the crowds. I wouldn't say you're overthinking it, but maybe slightly underestimating the general Shinjuku craziness. Give yourself plenty of buffer time. If your meeting is crucial, maybe aim to be there an hour early, or even schedule a visit for slightly earlier in the day.

Toyama's Hidden Noodle Shops?

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!
