Not “probably”. They are all over Japan. Actually, I’ve never seen “conveyor belt” sushi restaurants anywhere except Japan. Japan introduced them to other countries.

>all of the sushi places I saw just served it at the counter

Those are more expensive, traditional sushi restaurants.

Hi Tokyo5, thanks for visiting my site!

You’re probably right about the conveyor belts, but all of the sushi places I saw just served it at the counter; I suppose people like to see it being prepared in front of them. As for ‘Ramen Girl’, I’ll have to give that a watch, thanks for the recommendation!

Really? I didn’t like that movie at all:

> we didn’t see a single conveyor belt in what must have been over 200 sushi restaurants across Tokyo. Turns out that’s a western gimmick.

There are ???? (“conveyor belt sushi”) places all over Japan…including Tokyo!
They were invented in Japan.
