Osaka, Japan in $830s-$970s RT

Japan's culinary capital has bites for every time of year!

Texans, Atlantans, your available dates are in winter, so you'll probably find yourself on the prowl for a hearty bowl of ramen. There are literally thousands of options, but Osakan advice says to dip into back alleys and try any spot that has a long line of locals. If it looks anything like this, I'm sure you'll be satisfied.

Chicagoans, you have a few more options! Visit in spring, and you can race through cherry blossom-lined paths in search of the rare sakura shrimp, or cool off in summer with chilled udon and iced matcha.
