(It was fun!)

While our husbands worked, Casie & I jumped in the Spacio and hit the countryside. We went to the Daiso (a fun & cheap variety store) and a 100-yen (about $1 per plate) sushi-train restaurant in Ome. Then we drove into the hills, and took a cable car up to Mt. Mitake (Mitake-san.)

Eating at the a kaiten-zushi (conveyer-belt-style) restaurant.

This one was "Koppasushi" in Ome. People also call them sushi trains and sushi-go-rounds.

Casie figured out special ordering. See the little train on right? It zooms out to you with your special order. Casie is "atama ii" (smart.)

Wasabi for sale on Mitake-san


Something yellow & sweet is blooming, even though light snow was falling.



Me & Casie on Mitake-san. On a clear day/night, you can see Tokyo city from here, but the view of the mountains and Mitake Valley is breathtaking enough. Jeff has the GPS, so we winged it on the way home and found ourselves on some rural backroads, but eventually got home. Tanoshikatta, Casie-chan!
