We’ve been trying to plan for our upcoming (in October) trip to Japan. There are quite a few imponderables! The yen-dollar issue, for one.
And then, trying to plan an itinerary is very difficult. Tokyo, yes. Kyoto, of course. But there should be at least one other place. But which? In addition, there are the difficulties of finding hotels, ryokans, etc.
Discussed some of these issues at last night’s dinner, prepared by Shawna and Maz for John and Dena, Hali and myself, which featured Ohitashi, Albacore Tuna Tataki, Hiyashi-Chuka and an exquisitely rich Vanilla Ginger Crème Brulee. Wow!
My trip to Japan in 1965 was, in large part, financed by U.S. taxpayers. As I recall, I stayed at a small ryokan near the Kyoto train station and located quite close to a pachinko parlor.
