If you really want to feel like you were in Japan, try the traditional Japanese seating area with tatami.
As this is a very traditional seating area, customers are encouraged to take off their shoes before entering. That’s not just a kind bow to Japanese traditions but it also can make your dining experience more authentic and special.
