People talking Japan in a chipmusic forum and no one talks Cafe La Siesta in Kyoto?
Srsly.
Also, if you like cats, don't miss going to one of the many cat cafes in Tokyo. I didn't go to the fancy ones (those who always appear on travel guides), but instead I went to a small one where they only get street, alley cats who have been beaten and mistreated. Some of the poor creatures were even mutilated. And japanese people can even adopt them, it's pretty great. Sadly I can't remember the name of the cafe.
