(They were the main reason we came.) Sadly, I sent them back to the kitchen because they were raw inside. The waiter reported that the chef said they were supposed to be because they were just baked. (??????) Even if they had not been raw, I would not have been a fan because the outsides (which were fully baked) tasted more like biscuits than scones. The good news: They looked very pretty and the kitchen was kind enough to remove them from the bill. We did not ask them to do that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb813b3285e122b5e5fb092/6a430ab8-fad9-4512-aabe-7855f12e2602/THe+Reuben+at+Boulud.jpeg Exploring - What to see and do in Palm Beach and West Palm Beach—and where to stay - I also ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. Most impressive was how piping hot they were when they came out and how perfectly cooked. But again, almost no flavor. If they had upped the lemon flavor, they would have been great.

Hugely successful, it prides itself on being chaotic and overstimulating. It has narrow aisles, blaring speakers, and garish lighting. Think of it as indoor version of Manhattan’s Canal Street on steroids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb813b3285e122b5e5fb092/4332ce8c-6287-4e2c-bdaa-0d4207080de2/Nekamaguro.jpeg Exploring - Japan: Best itinerary for a first-time visit to Tokyo and Kyoto and more - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb813b3285e122b5e5fb092/a6be9c22-6c4f-4cfa-99c2-638dc34218cc/Hakone+Mount+Fuji+horizontal.jpeg Exploring - Japan: Best itinerary for a first-time visit to Tokyo and Kyoto and more - Make it stand out The floating torii gate in Hakone on the shores of Lake Ashi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb813b3285e122b5e5fb092/f178625c-4d25-4711-8557-eafd5142d40d/Street+fish+samples.jpeg Exploring - Japan: Best itinerary for a first-time visit to Tokyo and Kyoto and more - Hakone’s main street is fun to walk on with lots of small food shops and many of them give out free samples.

Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - What it’s like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to see and do there. Plus: Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - You can see how small the living room actually was now that two people are standing in it. The pullout couch was just behind the kitchen counter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb813b3285e122b5e5fb092/42033d20-3d15-45cd-b0a5-0683c786dfb1/Kitchen.jpeg What it's like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to do. Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - What it’s like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to see and do there. Plus: Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - The kitchen was quite large for a Tokyo apartment. It had a big refrigerator and shelving, a multi-burner stove, and counter space. These are luxuries in many Japanese Airbnbs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb813b3285e122b5e5fb092/15885db3-3873-4ced-8740-1a2b43225e8b/Shower+room.jpeg What it's like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to do. Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - What it’s like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to see and do there. Plus: Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - Like every Airbnb we stayed in in Japan, the room where you shower was separate from the room with the toilet. Here, the shower room was separated by a partition from the room with the sink where you brush your teeth. The washing machine was in the room with the sink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb813b3285e122b5e5fb092/b2add385-2580-4682-9a42-d2fdc5f6f206/Toilet+room.jpeg What it's like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to do. Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - What it’s like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to see and do there. Plus: Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - Most Japanese apartments (and restaurants!) DO NOT HEAT the restrooms! (But they DO heat the toilet seats!) This apartment actually heated the room with the toilet. We didn’t know how lucky we were to have that until we encountered our next two Airbnbs! It can be mighty cold in a Japanese restroom (where insulation is typically not great) in February. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb813b3285e122b5e5fb092/716e9f3e-d099-4cb8-82f9-535279999bc8/Street+the+Airbnb+is+on.jpeg What it's like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to do. Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - What it’s like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to see and do there. Plus: Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - This is the view to the left of our building entrance. Like many small side streets, there is no sidewalk. Most homes have bicycles parked in front. Tokyo is definitely bicycle-friendly and that is how many residents get around. Surprisingly, almost NO ONE wears a helmet. (In 14 days, I saw only one child wearing one.) Maybe that’s because bikers share the sidewalks and streets with pedestrians and, so, bike quite slowly. But, still, I was surprised. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb813b3285e122b5e5fb092/ca24f261-8aac-4f1e-bde4-69dba0f2d8fa/Me+and+Eric+in+front+of+Pokemon+store.jpeg What it's like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to do. Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - What it’s like to stay in Asakusa/Sumida City and what to see and do there. Plus: Is it worth going to Tokyo Skytree? - I wouldn’t go out of your way to see the mall unless you have young children who want to go to the Kirby Café (Kirby is a character in a Nintendo video game) or to the Pokemon store. This is me and my son Eric in front of the Pokemon store. Fifteen years ago this would have been his idea of heaven.
