On the day before we sold the Funcargo, we drove to the rural towns of Hidaka and Naguri, north of Ome. We stopped at this spot by a creek that had a perfect spot for a teddy bears' picnic.
Naguri reminded me a little bit of Floral, Arkansas.
On the way home, we stopped at "The Mall" on Route 16 to buy a Totoro doll and have Indian food.
I will try to post a couple more things, but then will take a break as we pack out of the house and leave Japan. In the last few weeks I've seen a wild squirrel (rare here) in the mountains, and a raccoon dog (tanuki) that is semi-tame in Showa Park. If we had left Japan any earlier, I would've missed out!
