As someone who had the privilege of living in Japan for a number of years prior to returning to the United States, I found myself growing so nostalgic for the foods and drink I miss now that I'm back in America!

Go to Beppo for a mud bath. Also see Hemeji, a Castle town, near Tokyo. Take the Bullet Train and bring your own plastic cup with a lid, instant coffee and sweetened creamer that comes in something like a toothpaste tube. Pack your own lunch, everything on a train is $$$$$. Lots of deer roaming around in Kyoto at their park. I spent 7 weeks traveling from one Youth Hostel to another. I met the greatest people and spent next to nothing. <ul> <li><em>Great advice Linda- thanks. Also noted that they mark down the sushi at this time too. --McAuliflower</em></li></ul> Go to supermarkets just before closing and get the packaged fresh fruits and vegetables half price.

I can't wait to go back to Japan. Be sure to stock up - surely you can schlep an extra suitcase home... Oh my gosh – major homesickness for a non-home place. I can’t wait to go back to Japan.
