So beautiful

My flight was a little painful with it being so long but in all it was total smooth sailing.
My plane was a little late leaving but was actually early arriving in Narita. At first I wasnt sure where I was going to be picked up but I went through cutsoms pretty quickly and finally ended up in the lobby.
First thing I learned, Japanese toilets are really hard to flush. I had nooooo idea how to haha. I eventually figured it out and have been able to notice kanji. The automatic doors were awesome too! haha (:

So it was almost 2 hours from Narita to Ibaraki but I totally enjoyed the scenery. I have yet to get in a major city but I think any part is beautiful and enjoyable.
We ate at a 90yen sushi restaurant. The tuna and shrimp was sooo fresh it was suprising! I will have to get used to the wasabi though, haha.

The ishikawa household is beautiful. The outside has almost a modern western feel to it but the inside layout is just like a regular Japanese home. The surrounding area is mostly mountain side and I look forward to taking pictures. The weather is deffinently on the cool side but it is so much more enjoyable that the hot humid weather back home.

Today Mami is visiting and I am sure the next few days I will be figuring out what I am going to do. I will hopefully upload pictures next time so look forward to that!
Hiromi plans on taking me to a lot of places so I look forward to that!

  1. I am so excited for you Grace! Post some pictures soon. I know you're having a blast. Oh and wasabi is definitely an acquired taste...once your tastebuds are burned off!

    Love you!
