Today I had to change hotels so I checked out of one hotel and then brought my bags to my last hotel. I went shopping and picked up a few more teas, I swore I wouldn't buy too many, but I did get some.
I returned to the hotel by bus, got some lunch from a convenience store and then came to my room. I ate and then napped.
I had dinner in an Indian restaurant that was nice and just relaxed. I hope to get my suitcase closed tomorrow!
Here are today's photos...

| A few years ago I visited Niigata Station with a friend and tried their ¥500 saké testers. It was fun. Yamagata has just started that too, and they have wine as well! |

| A bench based on a pot of Imoni, or taro potato stew. There are seats inside the pot! Yamagata makes their imoni with a soy sauce base, and Shonai makes it with a miso base. I prefer the miso one! |
Possibly back to normal posting tomorrow night. Until tomorrow....

Hi Helen,
I'm glad you have a chance to get away. It looks like you are having a good time.

Thanks! Yes, I've enjoyed getting away. I just wish the weather had been better.
That is a cool Jomon statue. Last year when I travelled to Japan I went to the Sannai Maruyama Jomon site and it was so interesting. I guess there is a lot of Jomon culture all around that area. Your trip looks like a lot of fun 😊
It was a fun trip. I do wish the weather had been a little better, but at least it wasn't too hot for me.
I don't know a lot about the Jomon culture, but there is a very famous Jomon sculpture of a woman that this bench is copying. The real one is tiny, about 15 cm high...I think this one is rather funny!
