The passport should be arriving late this week or early next week. All reservations are made. We are getting ready.<\/p>\n

We will be staying at the Hotel Listel Shinjuku.It is a 5 minute walk from Shinjuku Station (the largest and busiest station in Japan). We are in a twin upper room, so we should have about 39′ sq. not the most room but we probably won’t be in our hotel aside from sleeping. Here is a pic of our room (of course this could all just be a mistake in translation)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We still need tickets for the Ghibli Museum<\/a>. My passport is holding that up. It looks fantastic (as a fan of Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki).<\/p>\n

I have been researching ramen.. here are some pics or popular ramen shops in our ward (Shinjuku)<\/p>\n

I also feel it is my duty as a tourist to try Nattou<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Description is as follows:<\/p>\n

Nattou, fermented soybeans, is one of Japanese foods that most people from other countries cannot eat. I understand the reason. It is very sticky and stink, and looks bad to our body.(but it is true that this is good for our health)<\/p>\n

A picture shown above is Nattou-lunch with a sunny-side up egg(left) and choped okra(center green one). Natton is right side in the box.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, that’s all for now. Will update with more plans later on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
