🍜✨ Ever heard of “oil noodles”? Despite the name, they’re surprisingly less greasy than you might expect! This unique dish, born in the Musashino area of western Tokyo, combines soupless noodles with a variety of toppings and a splash of vinegar. 🥢
The origins of these noodles are a bit of a culinary debate, with both Chinchintei and Sankou claiming to be the pioneers of this delicious mix. Both establishments have been serving it up for over 50 years! 🏆
The name might seem a bit misleading since the dish contains little to no oil. Some say it's to set it apart from tsukemen, others think it’s because there’s a hint of oil in the sauce. We love the idea that the name reflects the way you ‘coat’ your noodles with that flavorful sauce as you eat. 🍲💫

"Fuji house was a great place to relax and regroup after a tiring flight from abroad. It has a deep, full size Japanese bath, a very special touch that I appreciated! The bed was comfortable and having two floors with several rooms created a sense of space which helped me keep a healthy routine. Having amenities like a washing machine, kitchen and apple t.v. were particularly nice. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, utensils and basics such as coffee, tea, salt and sugar so you can cook affordably. The friendly neighborhood is easy to access via car or train. Communicating with Ash and Tracey was fast and professional so I always felt cared for. There are meticulous explanations around the house on how to use electronics or even take out garbage, so you can easily get into the swing of life in Japan. Wonderful experience. I would enthusiastically recommend TFS and hope to use them again in the future."

Embark on a journey to witness the captivating allure of Japan's cherry blossoms, a cherished emblem of life and heritage. Each spring, millions of travelers flock to Tokyo and other locales to marvel at the ethereal beauty of these delicate blooms.
For the Japanese, cherry blossoms, or sakura, hold profound cultural significance, representing the cycle of life from birth to death. Rooted in tradition, these iconic trees are deeply ingrained in the fabric of Japanese culture, adorning parks, streets, and landscapes across the country.
The peak season to witness this natural spectacle is April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, painting the scenery in hues of pink and white. However, the magic begins as early as March when the first blossoms start to appear, offering a preview of the breathtaking display to come.
While the Yoshino cherry trees, the most widespread variety in Japan, typically bloom for around 14 days, other species may bloom for longer periods. Regardless, the fleeting nature of these blossoms serves as a poignant reminder of life's transient beauty, urging us to cherish every moment.
Don't miss your chance to be part of this timeless tradition and witness the ephemeral beauty of Japan's cherry blossoms. Plan your visit today and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of sakura. 🌸
