Downtime

Some much needed sit down time. We’ve been walking around the last few days. It’s nice just to sit, relax, and observe the locals going on about their day.
Lunch

Waited for this shop’s opening. That’s what I didn’t consider in my plan. Shops may not be open from 9-5 and have closing windows. Well, now we know.
Mochi
