“You’ll get more cabbage when you finish what’s there on your plate” (direct quote from restaurant owner – and no, I never got more cabbage)

Misa came the next morning, and basically we spent the next few days walking around and eating, walking around and eating, walking around and eating…

Cute tea house viewed from inside cute tea house

Traditional roof architecture from the inside

Lunch for two – really – and that’s not even all of it

But no, I didn’t take pictures.
