7D5N Central Japan (Nov 09) - Day 4

Day 4 (11 Nov, Wed)
Candid shots of Shawn



Shirato-no-Taki Falls






Lunch - nice bento set

According to the itinerary, we are supposed to go to Mt Fuji today.  Our tour leader decided to swop Mt Fuji with Gotemba Premiun Outlet visit as the weather wasn't good today.  Hence, we departed for our shopping spree after lunch.

Gomtemba Premium Outlet (approx 3 hrs of shopping given)

Tonight, we stayed at a Ryokan.  Cherylin loves the tatami.  There's hot spring bath available and YC had a go.  I was too shy to try out the bath. Haha.

 
Me in Yukata
 Fresh sashimi anyone?
(9,000 Yen for the small boat; 150,000 Yen for the big boat)
Our dinner - traditional japanese meal (just like what you've seen on Japan Hour!)
The kids entertaining themselves on a stage 
Having fun putting on the Yukata
 Why did i take this shot?  To show how thoughtful the japanese are.  It was drizzling when we were at the premium outlet.  Hence, the sale staff wrapped our shopping bag with a plastic cover. Impressed.
 Breakfast was a simple meal of porridge
