Hello Japan forum
I am going to be traveling to Japan in November for half vacation and half business.
This trip was kind of sprung on my by my job last minute. I have barely a minute to prepare outside of the days already planned by my job. I basically have 8 days to myself and I will be staying in the Shinjuku Prince hotel.
I have been researching like mad on what to do with my time, and I think I have a good amount of stuff planned to keep me entertained. My only problem is, where and what to eat.
I don't speak a word of Japanese (let along read any). I can probably learn some very basic food words before I go, but I am still really nervous about going to places and ordering food and such.
Does anyone know any good places that are "gaijin friendly" in Shinjuku that I can get some good meals at any time of the day?
I am basically trying to avoid convenience store, fast food or restaurants in the hotel at most times.
Thanks!
edit* it just occurred to me that a yelp-like service in English for Tokyo would be great. Does anyone know if one exists?
