I've always understood that Japan may not be as welcoming as other tourist countries. Some of the things I really want to do I have heard that it can be rough for foreigners such as onsens and festivals.

But some of the other things I want to see such as the cherry blossoms and to eat myself sick (several times) on food. Also want to go shopping for cookware that isn't avaible here. I do eat bentos for lunch here most of the time since it is a fairly heathy meal.

My lunch today -



A couple pieces of inari, three slices of tamago, a piece of ebi nigiri, a kamaboko (crab stick) maki roll, miso soup (just add water) and edamame.

That looks like a tasty lunch (well, except for the kamaboko, never been much of a fan of crab). Sure beats my Salami sandwich.
