One of the downsides to staying at a vacation rental is lack of breakfast options. As you may know, it is hard to find a quality meal in the morning in Japan. Most people eat at home or just grab something from the convenient store. We want to bring that homecooked quality right to your door Simply put in your order the day before you want your delivery. When you wake up you will have a fresh breakfast right outside your door. All of our delivery options are well balance and full of the nutrients you will need to start your day and have lots of energy to head off sightseeing.
