What the creator captured
Guga spent a month exploring Japan's famous markets, where he was particularly impressed by the richness of Kobe beef paired with egg yolk. While he encountered a few disappointments like a 'tourist trap' curry bread, he considered the trip a lifetime highlight defined by high-quality Wagyu and unique street snacks. He especially enjoyed sharing the culinary experience in Kyoto with his son, who shares his passion for eating.

Planning notes for Tokyo
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, originated as a small fishing village named Edo. In 1603, the Tokugawa shogunate established its government there, transforming the settlement into a political center for over 260 years. Following the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the city was renamed Tokyo, meaning "Eastern Capital," and became the official seat of the Emperor. The city’s architecture is categorized by a combination of historical structures and modern engineering. Traditional sites include Sensō-ji.

Local tips
- Purchase a Suica or Pasmo IC card to seamlessly pay for trains, buses, and vending machine purchases throughout the city.
- Maintain a quiet environment on public transit by switching your phone to silent mode and avoiding voice calls while on board.
