Pickles Dayo

This was no word of a lie, the best meat I have ever eaten in my entire life. It was stomp your feet good. The restaurant was Ajikura, it was right next to our hotel which was across from the train station. You either have to line up when they open to book a table or get a reservation online the day of, which is what we did with the help of a friend who could read and navigate their website then we just walked over when it was our time to eat. I don't think they allow booking farther in advance than the day, so get there at or before opening if you want to get a table, no doubt they fill up fast. So freaking good though.

Old town

They LOVE Snoopy in Japan, that dog is everywhere but the wooden sculpture of him with a dragon was something else

A very artsy little shop

So many pretty dolls in all kinds of shapes and sizes

The sumos on the cup, their chests look like a smiling Quagsire, you can't unsee it now

Market snacks and gifts

Tasty treats and sights. You could get things like soy sauce flavoured ice cream and Hida beef sushi (like sashimi on rice)or a fish on the stick. The sashimi was good, the fish smelled good, I dared not try the ice cream.

Hida beef buns are soooo freakin good

Frog sightings, brethren found!

Miffy store and some Rabbit themed shops
