Wasn't that called "La Jolla"? It's been years since I was there, but there was a Chicago Hot Dog place just a couple of doors down.
There was, indeed, a Taco Bell in Nagoya. Again, haven't seen it in years, though.
When I was stationed in Japan, the military had a program called Environmental Morale Leave (EML) which allowed personnel one plane ticket per year, I think. Most who took advantage went to the states. Also, there is Space Available travel allowed on military aircraft. I have taken the 747 from Yokota to Osan in Korea countless times.
Speaking of Osan, there used to be a really good Mexican restaurant on the base there.
