Trip Report! 14 Days (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka from May 31-April 13)

**EDIT**
Made a typo, trip was from MARCH 31 – April 13 🙂

I’ve combed through hundreds of trip reports and itineraries for trip inspiration, so hopefully my trip report could come in handy for a few people! Happy reading!

**Background and notes:**

First trip to Japan with my boyfriend and our first international trip as a couple. Japan has been a top destination for both of us. I’m an avid planner who has lots of anxiety about things not going right, and I typically like to plan fully packed days while my boyfriends is more go with the flow and likes to take his time to relax and enjoy the sights. I tried my best to find a happy medium for the both of us and overall, we had an amazing trip! We both packed one smaller suitcase + one empty check-in & duffle bag and we came back with 5 suitcases (thank u donki for coming in clutch with the suitcases)

A lot of the things on our trip might seem like places that are touristy and overdone but we’re tourists! and it’s our first time here so we didn’t mind waiting in line or going to really crowded places to experience things once. (Although some places were super overcrowded and it did get a liiiittle overwhelming sometimes).

Also we were kinda sad thinking we would miss the cherry blossoms because the prior predictions stated that they were going to be done and over by end of March, but luck was on our side and we were right at the height of cherry blossom season! I’ve never experienced something like this and seeing all the trees covered in them is something I’d never forget.

**Day 1 (May 31)**

* Travel day, landed in NRT around 2:30pm. The flight was uncomfortable and mediocre but once you get through customs and get into the bustling airport nothing matters, the trip was starting!
* Couldn’t resist getting a gachapon and stopping by the Lawson’s that was in the airport terminal for a little teaser for what’s to come.
* We had originally planned to take the bus to the city but the bus would have taken about 2hr30min to get to our hotel compared to around 1hr20min by subway. After the long flight, we’d much rather get to the city as soon as possible. (Protip! Download Suica on your phone and load the card so that you don’t have to wait in a long line to buy a subway ticket! We thought the Keisei Narita Skyaccess was a special line and we wouldn’t be able to use our Suica cards and we ended up waiting in line but the kind worker told us we could just head on in)
* Checked in at the **Hotel Celestine Tokyo Shiba**, settled and rested up for a bit.
* Headed to Ginza for a dinner reservation at **Ginza Chikamitsu** which is known for specializing in a Yakiniku course meal. It was pretty pricey but definitely worth it. The meat quality and service was amazing. They even gave us a pack of mints at the end lol.
* Did some damage at Uniqlo & GU, with the Yen prices right now with the addition of tax free shopping I might have went a little crazy, bought around 15 pieces of clothing for less than 200 dollars which is still insane to me.

**Day 2 (April 1)**

* First full day, jet lag didn’t hit us too hard and we woke up around 7AM to get ready and head to **Tsukiji fish market**.
* Tsukiji Market Takeaways:
* 10000% get the tamago if you think you’d enjoy sweet egg. My bf and I tried to share everything on this trip so that we can eat as much as we can but this is the one thing I would not share LOL.
* UniTora – We got lucky with the line, only had to wait about 20ish? minutes. Uni was good, but honestly get the bowls with a variety of different fish because just uni + rice can get a little boring.
* Definitely head over as early as you can, it got super crowded around 10AM
* I know most people say Tsukiji is overrated but my bf and I liked this market the most compared to Nishiki(Kyoto) and Kuromon(Osaka).
* Took the bus to head over to our reservation in **Small Worlds**. Highly recommend, you can spend a couple hours here just looking at all the exhibits and finding small and amusing things, it’s great to see all the hard work and detail that goes into everything.
* Visited the **Gundam in Odaiba** afterwards, sad that the one in Yokohama closed right before our trip but this didn’t disappoint! The size was still massive and there were cherry blossoms blooming nearby. Spent a few hours in **DiverCity Tokyo Plaz**a mall afterwards and did some more damage shopping.
* **Tsujihan** for our next meal around 4pm, made the journey to the Akasaka Arks Hills Branch and no line! The restaurant was less than half full the entire time we were there. If Tsujihan is on your list this branch is your best bet for no line.

**Day 3 (April 2) – Tokyo Disney Sea Day**

* Woke up at 6am, took a taxi over to **Disney Sea** because from where we were staying it would have taken over an hour (with like 3 different subway transfers) to get there and we’d rather just pay for convenience.
* Got there around 8am, waited an hour in line as the park opened at 9am (they didn’t open early this day). The morning crowds were insane! Never seen such lines at the Disneyland in California.
* **Disney Sea Takeaways:**
* Use the Disney Resort App and make sure to take advantage of the free 40th Anniversary Pass. If you have the budget to buy the Premier passes, I’d suggest that too. If you do end up buying passes to almost all the rides then you might be done with the park pretty quickly, we didn’t end up spending the entire day there. Left around 6PM – skipped out on the night show cause we were cold and tired.
* The only line we waited in was for Aquatopia and 2000 Leagues Under the Sea.
* Bring a jacket! It gets super cold at night, I’m thankful we didn’t get sick from how cold we were towards the end of the trip.
* Food + Snacks are super affordable, we got to try almost all the popcorn because they were like $2. But honestly, the food wasn’t as good as everybody hyped it up to be.
* Some of our favorites were the Gyoza Bun, Shrimp Bun, Matcha White Chocolate Popcorn, and the curry set from the restaurant at the Arabian Coast.
* All the rides feel super short? Especially Journey to the Center of the Earth. If I waited in that 2+ hr line I would have felt scammed.
* Overall, the park was super cute and enjoyable. Great first experience, not sure if I’d find the need to come again.
* Took a taxi to Asakusa to try out Nabezo cause we were craving hotpot after a cold night. Got turned away because they were full for the night and we didn’t have reservations. I don’t know how but we somehow braved a 1hr30min line for **Gyukatsu Motomura** that was right next door. Great dinner and we made friends in the line with a sweet older couple from Europe. Was the food as good as everybody hyped it up to be? Yes. Would I wait in a long line again? Maybe?

**Day 4 (April 3)**

* Woke up around 9AM was able to take our time to get ready to head out to Ginza. It was rainy this day but not enough to deter our plans.
* I really wanted to try out **Ginza Godaime Hanayama Udon**. I’m a sucker for flat noodles and I love udon so this was a priority for me. Didn’t make it to first seating as a line had already formed when we got there and we had to wait around an hour but by the time we got in the line was insane behind us! Get there as early as you can to avoid the lines. Food was amazing and I loved the texture of the noodles and the tempura was great as well. Loved both the dipping sauces for the noodles too.
* After our meal we headed to **Asakusa** for more eating and exploring! Even with the rain Asakusa was crowded. Bf and I honestly really enjoyed Asakusa; the temples and shops were so fun for us to explore.
* Best bite at Asakusa were the little kinako dango skewers that they served with a small cup of (amazing) matcha. I still dream about this. We tried the Creme Brulee Sweet Potato and **Imo Pipi** and it was good, but not amazing.
* For dinner we headed to **Manten Sushi Marunouchi** for their famous affordable omakase. As a couple who enjoys omakase in the states, where the price is $$$$, we wanted to see how a cheaper Japanese omakase would fair in terms of taste and quality.
* Honestly, pretty good, but it wasn’t anything mind blowing. If you’re someone who hasn’t had a lot of exposure to omakase I would say this is worth going to as you’re definitely getting your money’s worth and the quality is still really good. Also our sushi chefs spoke a good amount of english and were great! Super enjoyable and entertaining when handing our food.

**Day 5 (April 4) – Kyoto Travel Day!**

* This was the day I was most anxious about, I had little to no idea about how the Shinkansen worked and I knew **Tokyo Station** was going to be crazy. We got to the station around an hour before our departure time and at first it was really overwhelming as we had no idea where to go and where our train was. We had to ask a worker and they kindly guided us towards where we needed to be.
* Once we figured out where to go we were set, bought a few ekiben and snacks for the ride. Not sure if we just chose the wrong kinds but honestly the ekibens were mid..and cold, probably would have been better to eat onigiris or buy food elsewhere.
* After arriving, we checked into our Hotel, **Hotel Intergate**, located off the main street of Kyoto but still close enough to Nishiki Market and other hot spots.
* Speaking of **Nishiki Market**, that was our next destination. We were overall underwhelmed with the experience, lots of markets sold the same things and we didn’t find much variety. The food we ate was also kind of mid. Nothing really surprised us here.
* We visited two temples after this:
* **Kinkaku-ji:** The Golden Pavillion, pictures do not do this place justice. The grounds were crowded with tour groups and tourists alike but once the pavillion comes into view, nothing is like it. It’s golden shimmering structure surrounded by a lake was absolutely breathtaking.
* **Roan-ji:** Renowned for its rock garden the place was extremely peaceful despite the crowds. There were cherry blossoms everywhere which made the experience even better.
* Headed back to our hotel to rest a little bit and then we had a dinner reservation at 8pm at **Unagi Sora**. Probably our only really disappointing meal during our time here. Overall the food was okay, nothing spectacular about the unagi despite the restaurant being popular for it. Not sure if we went on an off day but even though we had a reservation we ended up having to wait an hour, the owner? manager? seemed to not have a working system on how to handle their reservation + walk in customers. After we got seated it took some time to place our order and even longer to get our food. I wouldnt recommend this place.
* Ended the night with some McDonalds cause we were craving something that would satisfy us after our dinner.

**Day 6 (April 5) – Arashiyama Day**

* This day was the day I was looking forward to the most during our time in Kyoto. After watching vlogs and seeing photos of this place, I believed that this day was something that I would thoroughly enjoy and I did.
* Places we visited:
* **Arashiyama Bamboo Forest** \- It was a cool experience, never saw so much bamboo in my life. Didn’t need to spend too much time here but the overall experience was enjoyable.
* **Tenryu-ji**: The pond located at the back of the temple is stunning and it had gardens filled with cherry blossoms and different flowers that was stunning to see when the blossoms were in full bloom.
* Loved exploring Arashiyama, exploring the shops and food vendors. We snacked a lot and took in all the sights.
* Had lunch at a small restaurant that specialized in soba. Bf got cold soba and I got a hot soba with mackeral, which I think Arashiyama or Kyoto is known for. This was my first time having hot soba and wow was it good, the flavor in the mackeral was surprising because I thought it would be more plain. (sorry I didn’t get the name of this place)
* Enjoyed some more time just walking along the river and taking in the views. I think Arashiyama would also be stunning in the fall with the changing colors of the trees.
* Headed out of Arashiyama and it was still bright out so we checked out the **Pokemon Center** near our hotel before looking around for a Sukiyaki spot for dinner and landed at **Sukiyaki Kimura**. An older restaurant located at the end of Nishiki Market, where you have to take off your shoes and sit on tatami mats.
* Once you order your food comes out: the meat, vegatables, tofu, rice and egg, and the server explains how to cook your sukiyaki as this place is more of a do it yourself kind of restaurant. It was a fun experience to cook it yourself and the food was a good way to end the night.

**Day 7 (April 6)**

* This day was pretty packed, we’ve got a lot of things on the schedule and we were excited about getting to see more of Kyoto.
* First stop was **Fushimi Inari Shrine.** We got there around 9am and the crowds were crazy, definitely overrun with tourists and it’s almost impossible to get a photo alone at the entrance or early stages of the shrine. If you want to get a picture by yourself + the shrine you definitely have to hike up. The higher you go, the less crowded it gets.
* Bf and I hiked our way all the way to the top, in my honest opinion you could probably stop at the halfway point where you get to the city viewpoint, there’s nothing new or a better view point at the top and I thought my legs were going to die once we reached the top.
* We headed back down and stopped by **Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu** for lunch. Waited about 15 minutes before getting seated, the workers took our order while we were waiting in line and so our food came out almost immediately. In my opinion this place tops Gyukatsu Motomura. The variety of sauces and the meat texture and quality was sooo much better, I almost didnt want the meal to end and i struggled on which sauce i should dip my meat in because all of the options were so good. Also didn’t have to wait over an hour for this place.
* After a delicious lunch we took a cab over to **Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka** area to explore. The streets are beautiful albeit crowded with tourists. Seeing the **Yasaka Pagoda** in person was stunning as well.
* Have to shout out the **Candy Apple store**, probably the juiciest apple I’ve ever had and the sugar coating was perfect and not overwhelmingly sweet. We got their fresh apple juice as well and it was delicious.
* We had an appointment scheduled at **My Only Fragrance** around 3:00pm to custom make our own perfumes. If you’re a fan of custom making things or perfumes I highly recommend! The experience was super fun, smelling the different scents that they had and figuring out the different percentages you’d want to include for the scents. You get to also name your perfume and choose between a silver or white bottle cap as well. Total came out to be around $100 dollars, bf and I both chose one of their exclusive scents in our mix so it bumped up the price but for two perfumes that nobody else would have I think its completely worth it.
* **Kiyomizu Dera** was next on our list. I don’t think you can avoid the crowds anywhere in Kyoto because this place was PACKED. The sights were pretty and getting the view of Kyoto was nice but compared to the other temples we’ve been to in the city this one didn’t really wow me as much?
* As a person who loves anything mochi, I really wanted to try and get to **Gion Komori** to try their famous warabi mochi. Thankfully we made it in before closing, the line was somewhat long but it moves pretty quickly. The street where the restaurant was located was covered in cherry blossoms and it was absolutely stunning.
* We got the matcha warabi mochi and a matcha parfait and both were delicious. I prefer the warabi mochi more. Topped with a sprinkling of matcha powder and brown sugar syrup it was just the perfect combination. The texture was unique as well.
* Dinner was at **Tai Sushi** located in Gion, heard about this place on Tiktok and wanted to try it out. The wait was insane I think we waited about 2 hours and the line got cut off behind us as we barely made it in for their last seating. Hands down one of the best meals we’ve had in Japan. The restaurant was small, I would say about 12 people seating and they took in customers by batches which explains why the wait was so long.
* We opted for their set meal which was about 8 pieces of fish with an additional order of chutoro, everything was super fresh and high quality, even better than some of the higher priced omakases we tried in LA. There’s three people working and all the workers were just as equally nice and friendly, they speak basic english so it was hard to have deeper conversations with them but the vibes were great.
* The sushi chef also provided us with two more pieces of sushi for free to apologize for the long wait which was so nice. Everything came out to be $70 dollars for TWO PEOPLE which was a steal considering the quality of the fish and I’d honestly brave the lines again just to come back here.

**Day 8 (April 7) – Off to Osaka**

* Since Kyoto and Osaka are pretty close, we decided to take the local train rather than booking a Shinkansen.
* There was one last restaurant we wanted to try before leaving Kyoto and that was **Gion Duck Noodle**. Once we checked out of our hotel we made our way over to Gion to wait in line at the restaurant. Wait was about an hour long around one hour after they opened. Bf and I both got the duck ramen which was perfect to us, the texture of the noodles, the duck meat, and broth were just too good.
* After I wanted to hit my dango craving so we walked a little more over to **Wakana,** loved the grilled charcoal taste on the dango as they grill the skewers to order.
* Finally it was time to say goodbye to Kyoto and make our way over to Osaka. Subway ride took around 40 minutes and we checked into our hotel at **Onyado Nono Namba**, I really wanted to try the hotel branch in Kyoto but they were book so this was our next best option and I recommend! It’s really close to **Dotonburi** and the subway stations.
* Once we were checked in and got to rest for a bit we made our way out once more to head over to Osaka Castle. We didn’t go inside the castle but walked around the explore the grounds and the surrounding areas. Because it was cherry blossom the place was packed with locals and tourists alike. Lots of locals and families having picnics and taking photos. The place was stunning and Osaka Castle was beautiful to look at.
* Headed back to Dotonburi area as we had a **Ringram** reservation to make our own couple rings. Whole process took less than 30mins it was a cute experience and I wear my ring around everywhere. Quality of the ring is good! No signs of rusting as of yet.
* Spent the rest of the night exploring Dotonburi, ate at **Chibo** for dinner to try Okonomiyaki (7/10 – the okonomiyaki was a little too thick for our liking)

**Day 9 (April 8)**

* Started the day with **Kuromon market**, we went early in the morning and this market was the last crowded one we’ve been to. We got a few bites to eat for breakfast and our favorite thing was this one stall that enticed us with a bubbling pot of seafood miso soup that was stewing away.
* Headed over to the Osaka Aquarium next. I could have spent the entire day here. From penguins to dolphins, jellyfish and their famous whale sharks there was so much to see. And you could honestly just spend so much time sitting in front of the giant Whale Shark exhibit. It was a *little* sad seeing such majestic creatures circling the tank endlessly.
* After that we went over to **Shinsekai.** We wanted to see the iconic street with the view of **Tsutenkaku tower** in the middle. The over the top signages was crazy to see but honestly that’s all we got from Shinsekai, we didn’t find much else to do here (maybe we needed to do more research)
* Got dinner at **Coco Curry** (soooo much better and cheaper than the branches here in the states) and did some damage at the **Hankyu Dept store** to buy some Gentle Monster sunglasses ive been wanting.
* Also if you’re at the Hankyu Dept Store, **Hanadako Takoyaki** is a must. Got their green onion takoyaki and it was one of the best I’ve had. If you don’t want to wait in their long lines, take your order to go! It’ll give some time for the food to cool down anyways.

**Day 10 (April 9) – Nara Day Trip!**

* Before heading over to Nara, we made a short stop to go and visit the **Namba Yasaka Shrine**. Found a **551 Horai** store on the way and grabbed a few buns for breakfast. I wish we had these back home, I didn’t know steamed buns could have so much flavor.
* I didnt know what I was expecting, but I didn’t expect the size of the shrine to be so huge! There wasn’t much else to look at so we took a few photos and left for Nara. My prayers paid off because the days leading up to this day, the weather forecasted a lot of rain but thankfully it was just cloudy!
* We bought our little deer cookies and ventured off into **Nara park**, a lot of deer closer to the park entrances or crowded areas can be more assertive and demanding for the snacks, so it’s good to wander around to find some deer that are alone or sitting down if you want a calmer experience.
* Once we ran out of cookies, we walked over to **Todai-Ji temple** to see the giant Buddha. I don’t think anything can prepare you for the size of the statues, even the smaller Buddha statues placed on both sides are massive. We ended up buying the Temple + Museum tickets, so we went to the museum afterwards to check out some of the artifacts they had there as well.
* We got out of Nara park to explore the city a little bit, tried the famous **Nakatanidou**, unfortunately we didn’t get to see the show but the mochi was delicious. Also tried a different mochi shop **Kakuozan Fruit Daifuku Benzaiten** \- which specializes in fruit daifuku. It’s on the pricier side but you’re paying for fruit quality and all the fruits were so juicy, our favorites were the strawberry and mango.
* Spent the rest of the night exploring Dotonburi and shopping around at Shin Sai Bashi.

**Day 11 (April 10)- Back to Tokyo!**

* Took the shinkansen back to Tokyo. Once we got to Tokyo station we did some shopping at **Tokyo Character street** located on the basement floor. If you’re really into characters like Miffy, Kirby, Pokemon, Mofusand, and others this is the place for you!
* Checked into our hotel at **Tokyu Shinjuku Eastside Stay**. As hotels in Japan are known for the insanely tiny hotel room sizes, the room we got was a really good size, enough for us to open our luggage and still have space to move around.
* All the traveling really caught up to us so we took a mid day nap before heading out to explore Shinjuku during the night time. The Shinjuku area was insanely lively, all the bright neon signs and the streets bustling with people we almost didn’t know where to go. So we just went into whatever store’s piqued our interest which were: a cat cafe, some clothing shops, and then an arcade (where we lost a good amount of money trying to win some plush dolls but we only left with a few french fry keychains lol)
* Tried out **Torikizu** for dinner, a great place to drink some sochus and skewers for a good price as well.

**Day 12 (April 11) – Kamakura Day Trip!**

* Train to Kamakura took over an hour with a few transfers as well. Once we arrived, we explored **Komachi Dori Street** to snack and shop. Our favorite bite was the cheesy curry pan from **Giraffa**.
* Had lunch at one of the many restaurants that were serving white bait shrimp. We opted for a sashimi bowl that included the fish. Can’t remember the name but I feel like you could choose any of the restaurants at Komachi Dori St. and it would be just as good.
* Places we visited in Kamakura:
* **Kotoku-in** to see the giant Buddha statue. The vibes between this and the one in Nara were completely different, the biggest difference being this one was out in the open. It was beautiful seeing the statue surrounded by blue skies and the mountain in the background.
* **Hasedera Temple:** One of our favorite temples, there’s so much to see! From view points, cherry blossom trees, bamboos, ponds, and different shrines you could spend a couple hours here. They even had a cave that you had to crouch down to go into.
* **Enoshima** was close by so we decided to make our way over…be warned if you want to go to Enoshima you will do a lot of walking, just the walk from the train station to the island was pretty long. Even though it the weather was cloudy we were able to get a glimpse of Mt. Fuji on our walk! Even though we couldn’t get the best view the outline of the mountain was stunning and it made me want to come back just to try and see Mt. Fuji later on.
* We got to Enoshima later in the day so a lot of the shops were starting to close for the day, but what we really wanted to see were the **Enoshima Iwaya Caves.** The caves were located on the opposite side of the island and the only way to get there was to walk (or I should say hike). There are so many stairs we took a lot of breaks on the way, they do have escalators available so I highly recommend you take them, but you do have to pay for its usage.
* The back of the island was beautiful, and the caves were definitely interesting to see. One of the caves had a dragon statue to represent the local myths and although a little cheesy, it was fun to see the statue light up and make sounds if you clapped.
* The last stop of the day trip was the iconic **Kamakurakokomae Station.** They had some security staff on there to help keep some of the tourists in check from jay walking and impeding on oncoming traffic as there were cars driving by. We got there right before sunset and having the trains pass by with the sea in the background was so picturesque.
* After failing to try **Nabezo** on the first leg of our trip we booked a reservation in advance for dinner this night at their Shinjuku branch. Needless to say, I’m glad we got to try this place, we’re avid hot pot lovers and the restaurant had AYCE wagyu cuts which were to die for. Definitely one of our top meals.

**Day 13 (April 12)**

* Our last full day in Japan 🙁 This day was dedicated to the **Shibuya + Harajuku** area. Could have planned the day a little better as it was hectic and we ended up going back and forth between these two areas a lot.
* Started out with breakfast/lunch at **Katsudonya Zuicho.** We wrote our names + order down and they gave us a time to come back instead of having to wait in line. It was about an hour and a half wait so we decided to do some shopping around the area.
* When our time arrived, we got seated, the restaurant is cramped but the food was delicious. I didn’t know Katsudon could taste so good, I’ll be thinking about this meal a lot.
* After our meal we headed over to **Harajuku**. Roamed around **Takeshita street** before venturing off into the back alleys where a lot of the hype stores were and did some damage there.
* We had a **Shibuya Sky** resv at 4:30 (couldnt pick a time closer to sunset so this was the next best option). Once we got there we had to kind of just wait around for the sun to set but the wait was worth it. Seeing the sun go down and the city lights turn on was truly worth it. I will say, bring a warm jacket if you’re coming at sunset/night time it gets really windy and cold.
* Went back to Harajuku to try and squeeze in a visit to **Kiddyland** because I’m a sucker for cute things and this was the last chance we could go before we leave tomorrow.
* Had **Sukiya** for dinner near our hotel and called it in early because we had a LOT of packing to do.

**Day 14 (April 13)**

* Our flight was at 9pm so we had a decent time to kill before we needed to go to the airport.
* Our first meal of the day was **Monjayaki at Monja,** we tried to go the day before as the restaurant is located in the same building as Shibuya Sky but they were full for the night. Monjayaki may not have the best visual appeal but the flavors were amazing. I don’t think you can get this anywhere back home so I had to try this and I’m glad we did.
* We did some last minute shopping in **Shibuya** and had to do an insane **Don Quiote** trip where we literally had to buy an extra suitcase for all the stuff we bought.
* Sadly, our trip was coming to a close. Took a taxi to Haneda airport because we ended up with too many suitcases to lug around the train station.

**Trip Takeaways + Tips**

I learned a lot after our trip to Japan, and I’m definitely going to keep these things in mind for whenever we plan another trip back but I hope these tips come in handy for you as well!

* Pack light! Literally only pack your necessities, there’s so much to buy in Japan you’re going to need the space. And if you forgot anything, most likely you can purchase it there.
* Use luggage forwarding services. This made our trip so much less stressful when traveling between cities, I can’t imagine having to carry all our suitcases through the streets of Japan and the subways.
* Try to book hotels that are in neighborhoods you’ll enjoy and that are AS CLOSE to the subway station as possible. In Japan you’re going to average 15k+ steps a day, and even if you’re hotel is close to the station entrance the underground journey may not be as close. Getting back to the hotel after a long day will be a pain if your hotel is more than 10 minutes from a train station.
* Account for lines and try to book reservations for restaurants you really want to eat at. Restaurants will literally turn you away without reservations because they’re full for the entire day.
* Buy things when you see it. You might think you’ll see the same item again later, which may be true, but a lot of things that we wanted to buy we weren’t able to find again later.
