After a hot, refreshing bath, you’ll need some delicious Japanese food to fill you up! The food tour part begins here with a first stop where you can grill your own yakiniku (Japanese barbeque), then take a detour via some local shops and old town markets, followed by a tummy top-up of crispy tempura.
