    Spent this morning at the Morning Markets were we sampled the local cuisine and visited many traditional shops; the chopstick shop was amazing so many designs of chopsticks. We walked through the historical part of the city, very small narrow streets and a traditional style of house.
    This afternoon we had some much needed free time so opted for a traditional Japanese massage, I felt so good afterwards and then off to the Onsen for my usual Japanese bathing experience.
    Dinner tonight was a traditional Japanese celebration dinner “Kaiseki”- we all dressed in our beautiful Yukata and sat in traditional style, the food was sensational. Sushi very different to how it is served in Australia and miso soup was served as the third course. We cooked our own pork, vegetables and tofu. Tempura was served cold. Simple fresh fruit for dessert. We had fun learning a traditional working dance.
