It was the second time that I had stayed here, because I used it 6 yeas ago. At that time I was with my daughters, who were still high school students. Time flies really fast.
After we settled in a living room for some time, we went out for dinner. The 3rd picture is the bus stop of the shuttle bus which transported us for free in the village.
We came across a young man who was using a pair of crutches. He was rather taller than me. The top of his crutches might be the same level as that of my jaw. I was interested in them; How long could they extend? There were more than 10 notches left. I wanted to handle them, but I refrained from asking him to let me use them. He looked to be in pain. However, my hopes did come true a few days later. Who knows how such things play out. We came across several unpredictable happenings on the trip and these happenings are sure to make you subscribers amused, I believe.
At a sushi bar, one of my friends ordered a bowl of Udon noodles. Then, the waiter asked him immediately whether he needed "Nanami" or not, but what's "nanami"? The waiter naturally saw we were Japanese, and he also looked doubtful. Anyway, he brought a small bottle of "Nanami", and it meant "Shichimi". We thought that he had memorized it mistakenly, but he was right as the pictures show below. I don't know yet why "Shichimi" is called "Nanami".
