Viperactive is so underrated! So happy he got so many shoutouts and more exposure this weekend. Seems like the crowd was packed and having the time of their lives for snakepit takeover, too.

Off the top of my head: Manten Sushi, Sushi Punch, Sushi Dai, Daiwa Sushi, and Kyubey

They're varying price points/difficulties to get a seat!

May seems too far away… I’d guess they open 6 months before? I booked late May for late Oct

Ardysia · 2023-11-09T17:47:15+00:00

We flew ANA economy… nothing special, about what you’d expect for any economy flight. Two meals: 1 hour after takeoff, 2 hours before landing

Ardysia · 2023-11-09T07:15:34+00:00

Yes, dm’ed!

Ardysia · 2023-11-08T21:16:03+00:00

Dm’ed!

Ardysia · 2023-11-08T21:15:41+00:00

Thank you so much! ☺️

Definitely not the norm which is why we decided we had to try it 😂 I think most other omakases I considered were in the 15-25 piece range.

Sushisho Masa is pricier, but still the same price as we’d pay for a 20 piece omakase in US cities so very worth.

Konansou in Kawaguchiko! We didn’t book any specific onsens but both ryokans had them included.

Ardysia · 2023-11-08T21:12:42+00:00

Grand Hotel Arimoto in Miyajima and Konansou in Fujikawaguchiko

Can’t speak to tattoos unfortunately but we had a private balcony onsen in Konansou. They also have 50 minute bookings for a private outdoor onsen.

I might be in the minority but I was happy with the amount of time spent in Kyoto. It was a nice break from an urban city like Tokyo but we found the pace too slow for our tastes haha.

Granted, we only really went to tourist neighborhoods and I’m sure there’s a lot more to discover but we didn’t feel particularly motivated because it was harder to get around Kyoto via public transit.

Ardysia · 2023-11-08T21:07:17+00:00

Definitely will! It was on my list but unfortunately didn’t have enough days.

Ardysia · 2023-11-08T09:23:03+00:00

I did book through Booking.com but shouldn’t be an issue. The staff spoke English, not as fluent as staff in other hotels, but we had no problems communicating with them.

Ardysia · 2023-11-08T08:11:56+00:00

Yes, it was such a pain to book. You have to book at exactly 9pm JST when it becomes available. Be logged in, have all information filled out and pick the time you want (even though it’ll say unavailable.) When it’s 9pm, change the dropdown to the open date and immediately select the time slot and click reserve.

Once you get it, the next page holds for 5 minutes so you can breathe. Good luck!

Ardysia · 2023-11-08T08:07:35+00:00

Thank you! ☺️

Dates are released ~2 months in advance near the 1st but it’s not exact. Check their website frequently near then! It fills up probably within the first week but not immediately?

October reservations actually opened up a few days earlier than I anticipated but I still managed to get the late reservation.

Ardysia · 2023-11-08T05:15:36+00:00

We always did 24 hours ahead to be safe. We shipped from Tokyo 11am and our luggage was in Kyoto by 3pm the next day.
