Haneda Airport
Japan may have opened its borders, but there are still some requirements that might trip you up when visiting.
Take it from someone who actually had to quarantine — the rules are harder to follow than you may think.
Don’t have a smartphone? You’ll be required to rent one, and pay for it out of your own pocket.
Pikachu and his pals want to give you a very special hello as soon as you step outside Tokyo’s international airport.
The special meal with 100-percent Japanese beef might be the last thing you eat while on a trip to Japan.
Remember to try out this soul warming, irresistible delicacy before you leave the airport.
Make Japan even harder to leave by finishing your vacation with one of the most unique, satisfying ramen meals in Tokyo.
Never eaten beef and cake in the same bite? Neither had we, until now, but we’re glad we finally did.
