The start of HoHo

The two Ollies here reporting from our Hoho in Tateshina.
After being introduced to our family, and saying some quick goodbyes to our fellow Kimonos, we were wisked away through beautiful alpine surroundings to the local shopping centre where we purchased some of our dinner - authentic japanese cuisine ranging from store made Sushi to home grown vegetables.
An enjoyable time was had by all over dinner: Learning how to use chopsticks properly, teaching the differences between the English and the Welsh and trying a wide variety of tastes and textures. Needless to say we didnt like them all - the plums were particularly sour!
We finished the evening with a private firework display and a first attempt at Japanese private bathing.
Time to get some sleep now, the jet lag is catching up with us!Læs mere
