Japan Food Map 2015 and Quick Tips

This is the map I used for my recent trip to Japan bit.ly/1KX7ASU.  It was created using various sources on the net.  Most points have additional information such as the sourced site.  Please check tabelog.com to confirm opening hours, estimated costs and exact location.  

Also, other quick tips:

- Get a SIM or a pocket WiFi device, made traveling Japan so much easier!

- With the GPS and internet, Google Maps got us around

- Google Translate app saved my non speaking ass

- Hyperdia is awesome for navigating the train system

Hope you find this useful!  :D
