Japan Day #4
Comments (5)Hatchiko. Long line to get your picture with him so I just went off to the side and tried to only get him, didn't quite do it....See MoreJapan Trip, day? Mito/Hitachanaka
Comments (7)Breakfast at our hotel in Mito. 2 days I picked the Japanese breakfast and then I decided on the Western one for the last day. This is the Japanese one, of course, the best breakfast I recall having in Japan, except for the natto (fermented soybeans-gag). cousin Isamu who wouldn't let us pay for anything and went to so much trouble for us, me, and my uncle who looks so much like my mom. His younger brother looks like his twin too. lunch: miso ramen at a Ramen restaurant in Mito. Little town on the coast. The whale is a town mascot. Every city has one apparently....See MoreJapan trip, last day in Mito/Hitachinaka area
Comments (7)My pieces. I was surprised they came out so good. They fire them and glaze them after you leave. You get to pick the glaze you want and then they mail them to you. My cousin had them mailed to his house. Not sure if he has received them yet or not. Stone sculptures outside.Lunch was delicious and massive. So massive I had to share with Isamu. The pretty blue ceramic dish in the upper left hand corner had the most delicious dish in it. A kind of seafood stew. Custard-like on top with chunks of seafood on the bottom. Probably my favorite thing I had there.Mito park, swans (black and white), egrets, carp, swan boats, famous Shogun statue (not on my computer so I couldn't post it). The round thing on the right side of the picture in the middle of the water is a fountain. Every so often it would turn on. We got there late in the afternoon so no swan boat rides. Just looked around, took pictures and went to eat conveyor belt sushi with Isamu's wife....See MoreJapan trip Day 13, Part 1
Comments (3)Bathroom break on the road. This is Lauren in front of a cute store full of famous Japanese characters. I think they are comic book/movie/tv show characters but not sure. The whole store was full of them. Lauren knew of a few but I had no clue. I bought one for a friend's grandchild there since she asked for a Pokemon for her grandson and I just didn't feel right about getting only one sibling something.Entrance to the shrine...See More
