Japan

Japan is one of my favorite countries in the world. I fell in love with it when I lived in Tsukuba (right outside of Tokyo) as a college student during a summer internship. Since then, I've traveled back over 15 times. As a result, I've had quite a few opportunities to enjoy the fabulous food this country offers. The best part is, I've written about virtually every place I've visited in Japan. As a result, there is A LOT of great content to explore!

To get oriented, check out my Japan Recommendations article first!
