Our Destination Diary series provides a great overview of a place that we’ve been, or in this place, lived!
Heather and I had the great fortune to be able to live in Japan for 2 years as we taught English, and started Extra Pack of Peanuts!
In those two years, we visiting many different parts of the country and learned quite a bit about how to travel around cheaply. Today we share those tips with you, along with a great list of where to stay, what to do, and what you should (and maybe shouldn’t) eat while you’re in Japan!

I know sushi and fish are a huge part of Japanese culture for food, but I’m allergic to seafood. Do most places have a non-fish option, or are they hard to come by? Is it difficult making sure I order something safe when I can’t speak the language or read the menu?
