I am usually a picky eater so I really surprised myself with how much I branched out (and enjoyed!). Some of my favorite restaurants were Akaya ramen, Volon (pasta place across from the all you can eat place), and Spice Time (of course). I also visited Yoshinoya all the time because of its convenience and how cheap yet good it was. One thing I was surprised to like was ramen. My brother makes instant ramen as his go-to midnight snack, but I never saw the appeal. I had also tried ramen at a few restaurants, but I don&#8217;t remember particularly liking it. However, since arriving in America I have been craving the ramen from Akaya (the ramen place by Irinaka station). I can\u2019t wait to go back! (Pictured is dessert from the Ghibli cafe in Osu, Kimchi pasta from Volont and a Kimchi pancake from a shop in Nara.)\u00a0 <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-470\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/8D56E485-308A-4983-B638-E2CC9478CAF3-300x239.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/8D56E485-308A-4983-B638-E2CC9478CAF3-300x239.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/8D56E485-308A-4983-B638-E2CC9478CAF3-768x613.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/8D56E485-308A-4983-B638-E2CC9478CAF3.jpeg 941w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-471\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/7ABACEF9-8436-4A7A-A246-E8F3A8678DA5-222x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"222\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/7ABACEF9-8436-4A7A-A246-E8F3A8678DA5-222x300.jpeg 222w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/7ABACEF9-8436-4A7A-A246-E8F3A8678DA5.jpeg 555w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 222px) 100vw, 222px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-472\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/49F24EEC-19AF-490B-A16F-991F7113CE30-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/49F24EEC-19AF-490B-A16F-991F7113CE30-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/49F24EEC-19AF-490B-A16F-991F7113CE30-768x577.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/japan-summer-2025\/files\/2025\/07\/49F24EEC-19AF-490B-A16F-991F7113CE30.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking back on my trip the food stood out as something I already miss.
