What kind of sushi would you recommend for someone who really dislikes the "fishy" taste? I know it sounds weird but I really hate that kind of taste, like for example would crab sushi be less fish tasting then say salmon? I never tried it before but my gf is asian and I want to take her out for sushi, she loves it but I dont want to be stuck with what to get. edit: my example of crab being less fish tasting the salmon is retarded but I don't have any others, so don;t flame me. Well, good sushi shouldn't really have the strong fishy taste or smell. But yes, crab and shrimp/prawn might be more up your alley. Your choices are going to be limited if you go to an authentic place, but if you are going to a westernized sushi place there should be lots of "cooked" sushi. | ||

There are business hotels that you can get for 3000-4000 yen (30 dollars or so) which are perfectly functional for staying overnight. The nicest hotel in town costs about 11,000 (up to floor 8) and 13,240 yen (floor 20 with an amazing view). So your options vary. Let's just say I chose to spoil myself on this trip.

That is why I enjoyed the trip so much. I could cycle without stopping for lights every 200 meters and worrying about highway traffic. It took an effort to get outside Osaka, but it was well worth it. | ||

It's really eery for someone like me to see how similar the landscape and buildings are to Korea. Really the signs are the only thing that let me know its Japan. And your awesomeness ofc | ||

I'm bumping this because I missed it and it's likely others who did so would like to see its contents. I thought you were part of some big group or touring club, but this was a small-scale endeavor? It was lovely to see the pictures. I've heard about this route traversing miles and miles of sea so close to here, but I have never gone far beyond the bounds of the city. To actually see these fantastical-sounding bridges is pretty stunning. You're lucky we had such a mild autumn in large part. We'll have to do some cycling next year, at least if that's still your seeing Japan goal. I am starting to feel as though I have an obligation to myself to explore my surroundings. Pleasant read. All the best. | ||

Let's be honest though. That was a yakitori trip that involved some biking along the way. | ||
