Thank you so much for posting all of this information, it is incredibly helpful!

The boyfriend and I are going to Japan (Tokyo and Osaka) at the end of the year and are still unsure about a few things, so sorry in advance if I bombard you with questions 😛

Did you find Shinjuku was a good location to stay? We are staying in Tokyo for two weeks and have no idea what region to stay in :S
Did you learn any Japanese phrases or use cards to help you explain what you can’t eat? We are a bit worried because we don’t speak any Japanese except for a few words lol.
One last question. I’ve never flown internationally before, are you allowed to take pre-packaged food on planes? I was thinking I might stock up so we always have food to fall back on if there’s nothing else to eat!

Thanks for replying!
Haha sure the more the merrier 😉

Plane tickets are booked! We are basing ourselves in Kyoto for the first week, and then Tokyo for the remaining time of our trip.

So you used the trains pretty much all the time? So it’s definitely worth getting a train pass then?

Also do you think it’s worth getting an apartment with cooking facilities? Since we are staying for 3 weeks we are not sure whether it will be too expensive to eat out every night. But then once we buy all the ingredients for cooking that may work out just as dear.

Thanks that helps heaps.
Yeah that was my concern, reading labels…since I assume most of it would be in Japanese! Haha.

We’re planning on getting the rail pass for the first 2 weeks, and the remaining week we will stay put in Tokyo and just pay for travel around the city as we go 🙂

Thanks again for all of your help! I can’t wait to gorge myself on all of the amazing food haha 😀
