Thanksgiving Day at New Sanno Hotel tokyo

My late post. Photos were taken during our Thanksgiving Dinner at New Sanno Hotel. We did not cook in the house but instead we went off.
The place were packed and crowded. We were planning to hit Tokyo Tower and as usual we put on hold again. Because when we got to the hotel, we could not get a parking and we were waiting for a little bit. Oh, I got to drive from Nobi to Tokyo. I was extremely scared and woint do it again LOL.

The food was delicious but I wont do it again. I don't like the crowds.

Nagatoro Riverboat Ride and Grape Picking

We had this tour last October 3, 2009 and I did not posted photos. So here it is...

A little peep in the outside, I think we were in Yokohama on this. The sun was trying to get out from the dark clouds.


This is how Japanese harvested their rice, I think they harvest it by hand. Their rice farm is not that big and using machines like harvester is not reasonable. I find it expensive.


We were heading to the vineyard. Look down below, Brian could not even stand up. This vineyard is design for little people. This was our first stop of this tour, eating fresh grapes at Mikado Grape Farm. They have green and purple grapes.




After we ate grapes, we had a stop over in this museum, they called it festival hall. The float was built and painted it by hand. Japanese are very artistics with regards on this matter.

You can look up of what we did as we are looking up a restaurant. Click LINK HERE . There are more photos that I uploaded while we were walking around the Nagatoro station.
After that, we head to the Nagatoro train station. They parked the bus and we got off and look for lunch. This place is a small place and it seemed no Japanese here speaks english. Our tour guide tried to accomodate us. We ended up in a Japanese restaurant of course.

Japanese Style Restaurant in Nagatoro Japan

Brian and I always love to try new things, new food and all that. But exploring here in Japan is pretty much different. We did not explore much here because of only one reason. We cant read Japanese writings and most of their food have seashells or pork.

Benjamin and Mary outside the restaurant, it says, soba udon

The waitress gave us the menu, of course in Japanese writings. We can read the tempura and soba udon hahaha. We ordered that and ouch! there is pride shrimp in it. Well, we were hungry and put the shrimp on the side.


This is sweet pride soba noodles as an appetizers, it was good though. After we ate, Brian bought a bag and take it home.



Here we are, sitting a Japanese style....





The food was delicious, you can actually choose the food as hot and or cold soba. We ordered hot though by saying "hotto" hehehe

I made a separate post though as we are eating in a restaurant.

Wandering along the road-Nagatoro Japan

It is very cheap produce...
As we were heading to the boat pier, we saw this stalls, you can sit there and eat. Japanese styl;e snacks stalls.
This is a little shops where everyone goes.
Since Benjamin did not eat lunch, ice cream was his lunch. Picky eater kid
Brian with the kids, he tried to be low as possible. He thought he won't be in the picture hehehe..this was along the road, I think the Nagatoro train station it is just few yards away.
Mary found this little thing outside the restaurant and she ride. When Benjamin saw it. He joined to Mary.

We hit the end of the road which I called it a main road. We turn on this road head to the train station. We tried to look for a restaurant, hoping there is a restaurant that has picture on their menu. But we could not find it.
