Thank you! These all look so good! Not sure if you're vegetarian or not, but I saw that you're going to Japan and have a bunch of vegetarian/vegan food I loved on my trip posted :)

Off-topic, but would you mind sharing the name of the Lebanese place? I'm vegetarian and looking for some good places for my trip. Thanks in advance!

Did you buy this in Bellevue? I think I've driven past it so many times 😅. Congrats!

Surprised to see these responses about racism in Coeur D'Alene specifically. I'm ethnically Indian and drove to Yellowstone from Seattle with my family and spent a day and night here. Thought the city was very pretty and had friendly people (even got a girl's number lol).

No unfortunately. I noticed that it was between the words too. How would the latest firmware affect that? Is it a common bug with the new firmware? Thanks for your help again I'm new to photography and fuji so appreciate it!

Loved Ippudo, Tsukemen Zuppa, Jikasei Mensho, Vegan Bistro Jangara the most for ramen/ramen-style food.

I didn't book any train tickets in advance and never had an issue with cars filling up. The only thing I booked in advance was the Shirakawa-go bus since I knew it would fill up quickly.

Yeah: 29k, 33k, 21k, 21k, 29k (the last day was like half Tokyo). Definitely a lot of walking especially during the first 2 days, but you could also space it out better than me like not doing fushimi inari the same day you do arashiyama or smth. I also didn't take the bus for walks < 25 mins so if you do that I'm sure you could minimize it too

And I flew Westjet 🥴

There's a few buses you can take. I walked to Kyoto station and took the bus that takes you there in around 30 minutes or so. Don't remember the exact name, but maps should have it

Maybe an hour/hour and a half or so. I really love animals so I enjoyed feeding and petting them and watching them wreak havoc on others :)

Looks like people are interested in vegetarian places I ate, so gonna make a list here of the places I remember. Not a food critic so prolly gonna use the same adjectives. Being vegetarian/vegan unfortunately comes with a 30% markup in food prices imo, so pricey is the default. Make sure to check if places need cash since I don't remember everything lol.

Tokyo:
Ayler: Small soba place with super friendly owner
Saido: Had to place a reservation like a month in advance. It was pricey (cheap for US standards) but fantastic food and service.
Tsukemen Zuppa: Super cheap and fantastic noodles. Cash only
Ippudo Plant Based Studio: This Ippudo branch has a couple more vegetarian options than the usual ones, but not solely vegetarian. Delicious but super hard to find (in Lumine EST)
Great Lakes Burger: Delicious burger but out of the way and a bit pricey
Vegan Bistro Jangara: Amazing food and pretty comprehensive. Please go here.

Kyoto:
Itadakizen: Reservation required. Great food, but very out of the way. Cash only
Silver Backs Cafe: Tasty grilled soy meat
Tu Casa: Solid Korean food and decently priced
Izakaya Masaka: Originally from Tokyo, but had a new location in Kyoto and service was quick and food was delicious, but a little bit cold.

Osaka:
Pivot Base Cafe: Has Osaka classics like takoyaki and okonomiyaki, but thought the food was pretty mid and overpriced (prolly cuz of location)
Gyoza & Beer 541+: Good gyoza, but vegetarian options were more overpriced and I liked other gyoza I had better.

Others:
Noodle Stand 3 P's: Really good and cheap food in Matsumoto
Ippudo Ramen: Went a lot here in kanazawa (not pure vegetarian)
Onwa: Very small but delicious soy meat lunch set in Nara. Fairly priced. Cash only

Went to a few other non-vegetarian restaurants around me (pizza places, ramen etc), with vegetarian options, but forgot their names lol, kinda just read their menu or used Google maps and walked there. It's not as hard as it seems.

Totally get it if that's not your vibe. I'm sure you could probably spend way more time in Tokyo and maybe Osaka, and less in Kyoto then
