Sometimes you need a place to tell your stories. Or whisper a secret. Or complain. Or make an announcement. Or tell a joke. Or maybe just let your friends know what you are doing at the moment. This is my place.

Well after a big freaking breakfast, first thing we did was to go to this museum where we saw all sorts of lanterns and lights and how people would carry it around on their shoulders through the streets in festivals in Akita. We also had a go and tried to carry some of these huge lanterns around. Even though they were not very heavy, it was hard to balance such long bamboo poles !

Then we had a small stop at this shopping mall where we were so mesmerized with all the wonderful cakes, puffs, pastries and snacks on offer that we bought a couple and scoffed them on the spot ! They were wonderfully yummy apart from just looking delicious. Ah. Later on, we went to the basement of the mall where we had the real reason we were there, a special kind of soba noodle that was very famous. It was white in colour and was certainly particularly good, even though we were having it just plain with soy sauce.

That night, we wound our way up another mountainside to another h0t springs ryokan. This place was fantastic. After we celebrated MrTam's birthday we enjoyed the facilities. As you can see from the pictures, this place also had several outdoor baths where it was great because the view was also great ! The best part was that midway through our soak, it started snowing and it was so romantic and happy looking at the powdery fluff starting to coat the floor outside the bath, but melting as soon as they reached our fingers. There are some partially nude photos of course but they cannot be shown here. One reason is that this particular pool was also a mixed gender pool, so everyone just had a tiny towel to wipe their faces and for the really private parts.



And of course what ryokan would be complete without a fantastic breakfast ?
