明治神宮野球場での双眼鏡
I have seen binoculars at baseball games before, but this guy took things to a different level. I imagine he positions himself in this same spot for all games. He had the worst seat in the house, but with his binoculars on a tripod he had perhaps the best view of the action.
Kaede room in Fudoin all ready for bed
After my fabulous dinner at Fudoin, I headed out for a night walk through Okunoin. When I returned the monks had made my bed. I sleep so much better in a futon than a western-style bed.
Torii-lined pathway @ Nezu Jinja (根津神社) in Tokyo
Kyoto, Japan
Iwaso is not exactly an inexpensive place to stay. Not that it isn’t worth it; I’d gladly pay more. Part of the reason is the many courses of a fabulous dinner served right in your room. From what I could see online, the food looked like fish, fish, and more fish. I’m not a big fan of fish. So I asked for something a little different. They delivered. My main course was sukiyaki.
Today’s photo was of one of the appetizers. Fish was included, and it was good.
No peeping photos (盗撮) sign @ Shakujii River near Oji Station in Tokyo
After taking photos of kids playing in the river I saw this sign telling me not to take photos of kids in the river. I had left my hat, sunglasses, and mask at home, though, so maybe I was OK.
The Japanese like rules. The rules are posted all over everything, even though it’s tough to imagine them doing the things the signs say not to do. In addition, the signs are frequently an eyesore; they tell people to keep things pretty when the scenery would in fact look prettier without the sign.
