I completed four items on my bucket list in one day.

Four things I enjoyed

  • Trying dojo (loach), a small freshwater fish
  • Visiting one of Ginza’s historic cafés
  • Trying a Michelin-listed rice ball
  • Visiting Tsukiji Hongwanji Temple

The most memorable stop

The dojo restaurant featured in the manga Shima Kosaku was especially fun. There were no tables—just a traditional counter-style dining room. The atmosphere felt very different from a typical restaurant, and that made the experience memorable.

Enjoying life after FIRE

One reason I like keeping a bucket list is that it gives me small, enjoyable goals. I do not have to rush through all of them. I can simply choose one, make a day of it, and appreciate the experience.

I am also grateful that dividend income helps support this kind of relaxed lifestyle. A day spent exploring Tokyo, eating something new, and checking off a few personal goals felt like a wonderful use of time.
