KODAWARIこだわり
“If you're going to do it, do it properly.”
Kodawari is the Japanese word for caring about the details more than anyone asked you to. Kodawari travelers want the real version of the famous thing, and they've done the reading to make sure they get it. They're the reason the group had a table.
How to travel: Build the trip around a few things done right: the booked counter seat, the timed entry, the first train out. You don't need more stops. You need better ones.
