#Staycation Bay Area style! The great thing about #Staycation Bay Area style!

The great thing about the Bay Area is you literally will never run out of cool things to discover.

To my surprise, I had never been to the Japantown in San Jose, the third in California, along with San Francisco and Los Angeles. 

It's just a couple of blocks long and packed with all kinds of adorable Japanese-themed gift shops, the  wonderful @manusushi , @royscoffee (which is a must-visit if you love converted gas stations and also vintage Coca-Cola in bottles), and a new French bakery that was mobbed.

My suggestion is to organize a bucket list day where you go to Japantown in San Jose for lunch and Japantown in San Francisco for dinner!

Enjoy! And please comment if we missed anything that we must check out on our next visit.

At the Bay Area ADU Expo, I interviewed 3 companies in the tiny home and ADU space to hear what they're up to. There are lots more making flat-packed modular, pre-fab that get craned in, and of course custom builders. 

Check out my post with a few other companies who were at the expo: https://susiewyshak.com/bay-area-pre-fab-adu-vendors/
