I've gotten off to a lazy start but more pictures to come! So far we had a safe flight, (ANA is so nice!), ate my first sukiyaki bento on the Shinkansen(it heated up itself!), made pottery with my ojichan and sister, held many grasshoppers in my grandparents' beautiful yard, visited the onsen, and ate amazing soba! The food is already living up to its standard! Can't wait to explore the area where my grandparents live more tomorrow! It's like a picture perfect forest!
