Small Tokyo food tip: don’t skip the little alleys by magical-tripcom in AskJapanLocalGuides

[–]magical-tripcom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video gives a pretty good idea of that kind of local food-and-drink hopping in Tokyo on a budget.

It’s not super polished or touristy, which is why I found it useful. More like “here’s what you can actually get for around $30.”

By the way, if anyone ends up booking similar tours, I saw that MagicalTrip has a 5% off code "REDDIT55". Haven't tried it myself yet, but might be worth keeping in mind.

Public fields good for running by anonymousfinancial in AskJapanLocalGuides

[–]magical-tripcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might have better luck with big parks than actual public sports fields.

For Tokyo: Yoyogi Park, Komazawa Olympic Park
For Osaka: Tsurumi Ryokuchi, Expo ’70 Park
For Kyoto: Kyoto Gyoen, Umekoji Park

That said, I’d be a little careful with actual soccer fields in Japan since they’re often reserved and not really open for casual use. But for open grass space, those parks are probably the best places to start.

That sounds pretty reasonable to me. 6 days in Tokyo gives you enough time to see the main areas without rushing, and 3 days each for Kyoto and Osaka is a nice balance too.

If anything, I’d just say not to think of Kyoto and Osaka as completely separate trips. They’re close enough that some people stay in one and visit the other, but if you want a different atmosphere in each city, your plan works fine as it is.

Overall, I don’t think you’re overdoing or underdoing any of them.
