How far would you travel for a really good meal? To savor a bowl of charred-soy ramen at the family-owned Rishiri Ramen Miraku, you'll need to take some combination of planes, trains and ferries to an island off Japan's northernmost tip.

The Last of the Gondola Makers
Without sketches or diagrams to guide them, the Tramontin family has built Venice's iconic gondolas for five generations. Each flat-bottomed boat is bespoke to its gondolier and takes thousands of hours of labor to complete. Today, Renata Tramontin and her sister are carrying on their family's centuries-long tradition. For them, Venice is defined by water, and there's no more magical way of exploring the city than onboard a gondola.
