On a recommendation from friends we decided to check out a local park called Mino. It is not very touristy but it is known for having monkeys at the top of the mountain. Upon arriving we noticed the sky starting to get dark and cloudy so we quickly headed for the trails. On our way there, we passed many vendors selling fried maple leaves.

They actually have a certain kind of maple leaf that they dip into a batter and then fry like funnel cake. Then, they bag them up and sell them to people during fall season. Of course we had to try them. They weren't too bad! KJ actually thoroughly enjoyed them and finished the entire bag.

There were trails through around the mountain for hiking and then there were paved path ways. We explored the hiking trails but eventually it started to rain which caused the sky to get really dark. Between the wet leaves and the lack of daylight we decided it was best to go home and try again another day. We didn't make it to the monkeys but we will definitely try again! There was a surprise bonus however waiting for us when we got back to the train station.

For some reason this very small town has a Wendys next to the train station! So cold and wet from our hike we gladly went in for a bit to eat. Wendys in Japan tastes quite different than Wendys at home...especially the frostys which was a bit of a disappointment. Oh, and the Wendys doesn't have honey mustard sauce for nuggets - just mustard sauce - blech! So anyway, we finished our Wendys and headed home to our nice warm apartment.
