Ugh, I’ve been slacking on the posting! I only have a few pictures from the 17th, so I’ll throw them in here with pictures from the 18th.
Brekkie on the 17th! Lots of interesting and yummy things.
The green is pickled… greens. Salty and good!
The red is mentaiko, which is marinated spicy fish roe, originally from Korea. Spicy. The little brown thingies are tiny fishies in a sweet-ish sauce.
Dinner on the 17th – leftover sukiyaki.
On to the 18th!
Oh noes! Rain!
The café seen from the outside. Still not open.
Just around the corner from the café, this is what you see. Old stone stairs leading to a temple.
Snot seaweed for breakfast, kurome! Seriously, it’s very slimy, and in a different way than nattou. The sliminess resembles that of the water that’s left after my sister’s dog has quenched its thirst. Nastaaaayyyy! But edible.
Nothing much to do or help out with that day, so Reiko-san sent me off to go on a walk, and so I did. This is the view from a hill I walked up.
A whole lotta bamboo!
Takin’ a break on the top.
After descending the hill, I strolled through the town. I came across this karaoke bar with the writing: “My live my life”. I don’t even know what to make of that…
This is coming out in the wrong order, but I also took a walking route over a mountain.
The name of the path is written on that sign… I only managed to make out a few of the characters, and thus don’t know…
Staaaaiiiirs~!
A little of the view over Taketa town.
Bam-fudging-boom! These ain’t what Danes make hedges of in their gardens, that’s for sure!
The railing is made of stone. Very pretty!
Just to show you I’m out in the mountains!
In jungly surroundings!
Post climbing back down! This is Hirose Shrine [Link].
Draw your fortune! Eh… it’s called omikuji, and it lets you know if you’ll have good luck.
I have absolutely no idea what it says, though… complicated Japanese.
Same goes for the back side. Or front side… I don’t know what’s what.
After you read it, you tie it to a tree on the shrine area.
That’s mine to the left!
Here, you wash your hands before praying. It’s done in a certain manner, which you can look up on Youtube, if you like.
I forgot how it’s done, though…
A look over the town!
Moar town.
And the torii located at every shinto shrine, though not all this big.
So, that’s it from the 18th, I believe. Pretty much just pictures.
