Vienna for Japan lovers
So I was in Vienna recently and it was a really nice trip.
Vienna has many things to offer for tourists like castles, churches, driving horse buggies, a good train connection and food.
Every time in Germany I am a little bit disappointed about trains here, just cause I know how good it can be in Japan. In Vienna they have that nice airport train called the City Airport Train (CAT).
The CAT drives within 15 min from the Airport to the City and its clean and convenient. But the best feature was the city check-in which some airlines offer.So you can check in your luggage before even arrive the airport! So the train feels a little bit like Japanese service.
What else feels like japan? Some restaurants! For some reasons in Vienna are Japanese restaurants who over more than just sushi. In Germany are of course also some restaurants in Düsseldorf where you can get more than sushi but still its sometimes quite limited. In Vienna we tried some restaurants and where surprises how near to japan they were. It started from Japanese speaking staff to the interior and finished with a variety of food like oyakodon or a real Udon noodle soup.Two restaurants we tried were "Nihonbashi" (big Japanese restaurant and nice oyakodon) and "Kojiro" (I ate teriyaki salmon there. Apparently they have 3 shops, but I don't know which I was in). Another fun shop was "Cha no ma" a Japanese tea shop with much macha products. We ate macha ice cream and it felt so Japanese that the shop was a little bit smaller and the small chairs and again Japanese speaking people.
Other Restaurants we wanted to try but could not cause they had close do to holiday where "Kushimbo" and "Hidori".
So if you want to combine your Europe trip with a little bit japan feeling, maybe Vienna is a choice for you. Also depends where you come from, it can be much cheaper to fly there than to japan.
