New updates. This week was spring break and I went on a couple of trips during my free time. The first destination was Tottori city in Tottori prefecture. We rode camels in the morning and climbed a mountain in the afternoon. At the top were some castle ruins and Japanese Keanu Reeves. The next day was a total bust. Our intended destination took 3 hours to reach, so we decided to change the plans. We first stopped at the pear museum (the only one in Japan), which turned out to be closed. Then we went to a see a temple on the side of a cliff, a national treasure, which turned out to be closed. Then we wanted to go to a hot spring, but it turned out to be right next to the highway and full of naked dudes and radon. The Japanese style hotel was awesome though. Amazing Japanese breakfast. Pictures.

And: Several types of sashimi, rice, boiled tofu, lotus root salad with citrus, shoyumame (basically big edamame, shelled, roasted, and soaked in sweet sauce), mirin boshi (sweet pomfret jerky lightly fried with sesame seeds), and sake.
And: Spicy ramen with egg and pork belly topping, a fried rice ball with dried seaweed, kimchi pickles, and rooibos tea.
And: Soba noodles with wasabi tsuyu dipping sauce and green onion, a fried pork cutlet bowl with sweet red miso sauce and cabbage, and green tea.
