shumatsu (weekend)


Saturday, we drove into the mountains (toward Mt. Fuji), then visited Aeon Hinode Mall. This mall isn't far from Yokota. We like the 3rd floor food court for its view of mountains and Tokyo Summerland (water amusement park.) It also has a fun kids' play area.


My favorite adventure partner


Jeff at the Doraemon preschool in Hinode Mall. Doraemon is the blue cartoon character. He's a robotic cat sent from the future to help a boy named Nobita. He has no ears because a mouse chewed them off. He pulls out magic gadgets from his belly pocket to help Nobita. It's a great cartoon.



Fake food in the "Gourmet Museum" (restaurant row in the mall)


Sunday, the Okano family came to see us from Chiba (near Tokyo Disneyland.) They helped us with our Japanese, and we showed them American living. They also helped explain some of the Japanese cartoons and educational posters we have around the house. We had lunch at Yokota Chili's. Domo Arigato, Okano family!
