Susana Pérez Embarks on a Japanese Adventure with Her Grandson: A Tale of Unexpected Surprises

Cuban actress Susana Pérez has been delighting her social media followers with humorous tales of her adventures—and a few mishaps—during a trip to Japan with her 19-year-old grandson, Víctor. From navigating a tiny hotel room in Tokyo to the unexpected challenges of ordering a pizza, Pérez's anecdotes paint a vivid picture of their experiences in the Land of the Rising Sun.

In an initial Facebook post, Susana revealed that the trip had been three months in the making and nearly got canceled for reasons she chose not to disclose. "I spent three months planning this trip, and for reasons I won't explain, it almost fell through. But at this stage in life, I refuse to let any opportunity pass, so I decided to go ahead," she admitted.

Susana also confessed that she had concerns about her health before the trip, leading her to purchase travel insurance for the first time. Her primary worry was encountering an unforeseen event that might inconvenience her grandson. Ironically, it was Víctor who ended up looking after her during their journey.

Overcoming Unexpected Hurdles

Upon arriving in Tokyo, the duo encountered their first surprise at their hotel. The room was so cramped that moving around was nearly impossible. "It was a matter of opening the door and jumping onto the bed, with no other choice," Susana recounted. She attempted to switch to a larger room, but the additional cost of 29,000 yen led to what she humorously described as a "stingy attack," realizing only later that it wasn't much more than 100 dollars.

Despite the snug accommodations, they chose to stay in what Susana affectionately dubbed their "closet room," and they set out to explore the bustling city.

Gastronomic Adventures and More

In another Facebook post, Susana shared more curious experiences from their time in Japan, particularly noting the small portion sizes that were inadequate for her athletic grandson. "In Japan, every portion—whether it's food, coffee, latte, water, or meat—needs to be scrutinized, not to inspect them, but to imagine them larger to satiate a 19-year-old athlete's hunger," she wrote with her signature wit.

One of the most entertaining stories involved their quest for a pizza at MARUMO, a pizzeria in Tokyo's Ebisu neighborhood that had been hailed on social media as the best in the world. After several failed attempts to secure a table, they learned that reservations were mandatory and opted for takeout instead.

Even obtaining the pizza posed a challenge. They waited standing for about 20 minutes outside the establishment, as the manager refused to let them sit on a nearby step. With their pizza finally in hand, they were also given a map indicating places where they could eat it. The nearest spot was a ten-minute walk away, so their culinary adventure continued.

"We ended up at a children's park, where we ate this 'world's best pizza' on a dimly lit bench with our hands. It turned out to be just pizza dough with cheese, no different from all the others we've had," Susana recounted, capturing the moment with a nighttime photo of herself holding the pizza box.

A Special Bond

Susana shares a close bond with her grandson Víctor, who has a tattoo of theater masks on his right leg, mirroring his grandmother's, symbolizing their deep connection and shared love for the arts. With over fifty years in the entertainment industry, Susana seems to be relishing this adventure with Víctor, even when things don't go as planned.

And as her posts suggest, more stories are on the horizon, as she concluded with a promise of continued tales: "To be continued…”
