Japan Day 11: Tokyo

The subway is always SO MANY steps.
First stop: hot freshly made donuts and custard

We hiked Mount Takeo today. The kids were so great—very little complaining even though it was essentially straight up.

I’m very thankful for the Japanese commitment to toilets. Every time we’ve needed a bathroom, there’s one steps away, and it’s clean and the toilet seat is heated. Even in “wilderness” areas

Chair lift that takes you part way up
There were lots of interesting things along the way, like these wooden prayer boards
Michael and Jim did this monkey zoo, but the rest of us were like “Meh.”
Lydia along the path. Michael took this photo. I love to see the sibling thing—these two are so good together.
The autumn foliage is so beautiful.
Made it to the top!

Their vending machines are everywhere and have delicious food…even hot soup in a can! (We didn’t eat that though.)
Ice cream in a pouch. It starts out a solid brick, but eventually you can push up the ice cream.

It’s really all about the food for us. Everything is so delicious and interesting. We took the children out to dinner so Matt and Brenna could have a date at a nine course restaurant.

Didn’t get a picture before we ate most of the food

We watched the movie Sing, back at our little house, and if you haven’t seen it, you should definitely watch it with a kid. It’s one of those wonderfully creative animated films with great humor.
