The Japan Episode: My Honest Take on Food, Culture & Travel from Tokyo, Kyoto & Hokkaido

So, I went to Japan. And if you’ve ever traveled across the world, you know things don’t always go as planned. This episode was actually recorded twice (thanks to a little tech disaster), but maybe that was meant to be—because now, you’re getting the unfiltered, full-circle version of my trip. From snowy onsens in Hokkaido to late-night bites in Tokyo, I’m sharing it all: Flying business class vs. the reality of jet lag (because, let’s be honest, it hits hard) Hokkaido’s magic—skiing, soaking in onsens, and the kind of quiet that makes you exhale Meals I’ll never forget—hidden gems like Somoza and Rakuichi Soba, plus why food is the best way to connect with a place Kyoto’s timeless beauty—what it’s really like to experience traditional Japanese hospitality. My favorite restaurants Koke and Raiz. Tokyo’s electric energy—shopping, eating, and just soaking in the chaos of it all More than anything, this trip reminded me why I love traveling: the unexpected moments, the little lessons, and the pure joy of saying yes to new experiences. If you’re planning a trip to Japan (or just need a little inspiration), I hope this episode gives you something to take with you. Join the World’s Your Oysta community!
