Our Favorite Restaurants in Iwakuni
This is post 5 of 5 in the series “Guide to Iwakuni, Japan” Iwakuni is not on everyone’s radar when visiting Japan. After all, it’s far from the typical places tourists visit like Kyoto and Tokyo.

For a city of its size, Iwakuni has a lot to offer. Check out the Kintai Bridge, learn about the famous White Snakes, and try some local cuisine.

Japan’s Vending Machines
Any other destination, a vending machine is just that, a vending machine. If you travel to a place like North America, a vending machine is just a large bulky box that sells a few name brand items. You’ll see the same drinks and snacks in every other vending machine no matter where you are. But Japan’s Vending Machines are a thing of the future. Want a hot coffee? Or how about an ice cold tea? Not in the mood for a beverage, then perhaps a bowl of ramen or full pizza would cure that craving? That’s right, many vending machines in Japan carry other unique items. Many times, I walk…

Beer Guide to Japan
I moved to Japan from the United States. The United States was never really known for their beers until recently. Still, many people not from there associate the US with bad and cheap beer like Budweiser. Over time beer started to evolve and microbreweries popped up everywhere. Now, in the US, you can find great beer in almost any town. I don’t consider myself a beer snob, but I do like a good beer! Prior to living in Japan, I visited the city of Fukuoka and sampled several beers within a few days and wasn’t to impressed with the beer in Japan. I’ve lived in Japan going on three years…

Bakeries in Japan
When picturing a bakery, most people would probably think of a bakery in France. Fresh croissants, perfectly baked baguettes, and beautifully baked flaky pastries with fruit on top sprinkled with powdered sugar. Unless you’ve been to Japan and love pastries (like us), you probably would never have guessed that there are amazing Bakeries in Japan. Growing up in Europe, I know what a good bakery is. When coming to Japan, I was skeptical at first. Three years later, both Jill and I are addicted to the various pastries you can find in Japan. Bakeries in Japan specialize in both sweet and savory pastries. We’ve visited dozens of bakeries all around…
