My husband and I had the great and extraordinary pleasure to say we can call Japan our honeymoon destination. Amongst all of the incredible cities we visited, the delicious sushi, sake, and tremendous food options, and the mesmerizing landscapes and scenery we were fortunate enough to partake in, nothing stood out quite as much as our truly exceptional experience at Takechiyo. Course after course, each one seemed to only get better than the next. We sampled all of the finest delicacies Japan has to offer, all in the comfort of a small seating setting within the Takechiyo Keiseki. This experience, truly was once in a lifetime. We both would highly recommend this experience to foreigners/travelers and native Japanese alike! We can’t wait to visit again one day!
