C'est un the de tres bonne qualite, la region est d'ailleurs connue pour le the vert. Numazu, c'etait bien !

... fishermen on their small boats. The service was impeccable, making us feel special from the first minute. Lilly had gone all the way, booking us a suite with private hot spring bathtubs. The room was not available until at 14:00 so we decided to have something to eat, and go to see something. We had been trying to plan it on the train, but there were many options, and we were also a bit at the wrong time. Ito and the surrounding areas aren't ...

Heading back to Fuji, Fiona and Sebastian stop off to do a 2hr hike in the Kiso Valley, while the others spend a bit more time in Kyoto. The easy hike is between the two small towns of Magome and Tsumago. The towns were part of an walking path from Kyoto to Tokyo, and each retains its rich history. The towns are quite cute to walk through, and the hike was quite relaxing.

... that our anniversary is next month. One of them, Mr. Komoto, decided to take us to listen to some jazz as an early anniversary present. He said a friend owner a bar nearby and played jazz. Which brings us to the beginning of the story. We walked in, sat down, and were immediately given an explanation of Hentai's eccentricities.

... masters - similar to the 80's movie Edward Scissorhands... haha. Water lillys, turtles and coy fish were the added elements that made this place so breathtaking. I was sobered by the thousands of statues that each represented an unborne childs soul. Creepy, but very very cool to see.
