Where to Find a Tasty Japanese Bento in Japan?

Bento (box meal) Japan Tokyo Train Kyoto Hiroshima Miyagi

Did you know you could find a Japanese Bento at a Train Station?

I had a wonderful taste of Miyagi, Hiroshima and Kyoto before I reached Fujisawa just 30 minutes later on the Tokkaido line from Tokyo station. I splurged on the green car for a very relaxed and private meal and let me tastebuds have a party. If you a planning a 30 plus minute ride on a train from Tokyo station, I definitely recommend this all over Japan specialty bento to allow your tastebuds to travel much further than your true destination.
