At the very end of 2019, we spent a week in Japan. We went to Tokyo first, where we saw cool sights and (of course) ate great food. It turns out that one of my dad’s relatives married a Japanese man; we had dinner with them at a conveyor belt sushi place. However, the Japanese in-law wouldn’t let us touch the sushi on the conveyor belts, insisting that it wasn’t fresh enough. He instead ordered some stuff directly from the chef behind the counter. I’m no sushi connoisseur, but it was pretty tasty.
After that, we stayed in Kyoto for a few days, including New Year’s Day. There are plenty of cultural attractions there.
