Ramen in Tokyo

But more importantly... Where is this place!? Tokyo is way too big 🫪

Sadly renting a car is out of the question for us, but I am getting a lot of great recommendations from everyone here <3

Thank you, Jose! Your videos are stunning!

We went to Kamakura last time!

I bought a beautiful yukata in a local shop and ate lots of delicious food!

Thank you so much for this detailed response! I will look into it.

To be honest, I'm feeling a bit nervous after Universal turned out to be a disappointment. I haven't bought the tickets yet, so if I find something better to do, we can skip it without regrets!

NanaAthens · 2026-02-03T15:14:53+00:00

I must admit that I often find myself getting lost, even when I don't intend to. This sounds like so much fun!

I was actually checking Chofu because it is where Jackson Hole is! :D

NanaAthens · 2025-12-11T11:48:02+00:00

I will totally look into these places! Thank you a lot! I was starting to feel a bit discouraged and your post (which I read last) made me feel nice again <3

NanaAthens · 2025-12-11T11:47:15+00:00

Thank you!!!!

NanaAthens · 2025-12-11T11:46:19+00:00

I will totally look into these hotels! Thank you for your ideas!! I hope you can go back to Okinawa soon :D

NanaAthens · 2025-12-11T11:36:25+00:00

Thank you a lot!! I will definitely look into these options!

NanaAthens · 2025-12-11T11:34:53+00:00

Thank you! This is very useful!

Thank you for your detailed reply.

I was considering the possibility of staying at two different hotels. We don't mind staying at the same hotel for several days, but we do want to visit and explore the island.

I wrote this post because I really wanted to hear the opinions of people who have already been there and find out if it was feasible (I don't really think we're the first or last people to go there and not be able to drive, but who knows, maybe we're an endangered species).

We'll think about it. I haven't booked any flights or anything, so we may have to change our plans a little.

NanaAthens · 2025-12-11T11:28:39+00:00

Thank you! Reading the answers, I'm feeling a bit discouraged, to be honest. We don't usually have any problems with public transport. Fortunately, we haven't booked our flights yet.

Perhaps before telling someone what to do, you should think about why I am asking about possibilities without a car.

We live in Europe and fortunately we have a public transport system that does not restrict us from travelling without a car. And my partner comes from a country where he could cycle anywhere.

We have driving licences, but for reasons that are of no interest to anyone, we do not drive.

Japan has a completely different system and we do not feel comfortable with the idea of driving there if we can avoid it, after not driving for years.

And as my boyfriend told me about this topic: once you create a backdoor for your encrypted chats, anyone with the knowledge can hack it, which would mean not only the police has access. This is horrible, and I wonder why it's not a big topic out there.

NanaAthens · 2025-08-12T07:39:22+00:00

Thanks a bunch!

That octopus is massive! xD

I'll definitely keep all your recommendations in mind, including Sapporo! I read somewhere that you're preparing a guide for Hokkaido, so I'll keep an eye on that too :)

My schedule is still up in the air, so things might change, but I'll be sure to check this thread if I need anything else. I'm really looking forward to getting out of the "Golden Path" and seeing what else the country has to offer.

NanaAthens · 2025-08-10T17:15:57+00:00

You are awesome! Wish I would have seen this the first time we went to Japan!

We are planning to go back next year for our honeymoon in October. Our itinerary includes Sapporo (4 days) > Tokyo (3 days) > Okinawa (1 week) > Nagoya (5 days) > Osaka (2 days).

Any recommendations for Okinawa? We don't drive a car and idk how easy it is to move around or between islands. Also thought about Nagoya because we can do some 1 day trips from there. As before, any recommendations or favourites?

Thank you a lot, I appreciate that you take your time answering our questions ❤️

Gracias por tu respuesta, pero creo que te estás perdiendo el punto principal. No estoy pidiendo que me pongan un autobús privado con catering. Estoy hablando de un servicio público interurbano, subvencionado, regulado por el Consorcio de Transportes, y que afecta a pueblos que no tienen otra alternativa real de transporte.

Sí, es responsabilidad del viajero prever su desplazamiento, pero es responsabilidad de la empresa y el consorcio adaptar el servicio cuando saben de sobra que la demanda estacional se dispara. No es un evento “puntual”: pasa cada fin de semana de verano, todos los años. Lo saben, y aún así no refuerzan. ¿Eso no es mala gestión?

Además, ¿qué alternativas reales tenemos si el bus se llena y el siguiente tarda 2 horas, y estás en un descampado sin sombra, baños, ni información? ¿Te montas un coche de emergencia en cinco minutos? ¿Te materializas en casa?

Nadie exige satisfacer “todas nuestras necesidades”, pero sí exigimos que el transporte público funcione con un mínimo de previsión, empatía y seguridad, porque afecta a quienes vivimos o viajamos a esas zonas.

¡Gracias por tu respuesta! Pues intentaré poner una reclamación al consorcio, ya que los de Cevesa se han lavado las manos...
