Food Theme Parks
Did you know that aside from the fun theme parks with rollercoasters and what not, Japan also has a Food Theme Park with all the different foods from around Japan? And just like a theme park, it pops up here and there and people just throng the place to participate in feasting on delicious meals off the counter like that. Now the meals are not prepared by just anyone but by chef from famous restaurants so you can pretty much guarantee that you’re paying for some pretty high grade stuff here.
Pricing is not cheap as it ranges from 1000-2000Yen per person. And English information tend to be limited in this Japanese Food Theme Park. I have a list of some food theme parks in Tokyo and Yokohama that you can visit and lookout for if you’re around the area:

Gyoza Stadium and Sweets Forest are both awesome in their own ways. I’d recommend going to any of these places on a weekday to avoid accidentally stepping one of the millions of little kids running around with sugar highs.
