Lake Tanuki is known as the sixth lake of the Fuji Five Lakes. Even though it's partly man-made, the scenery is beautiful and perfect for camping or fishing by the lakeside. Really pretty spot! 🎣

Taiza Crab at Kyotango Ryugu Project
Rice bowl making experience at a local inn using crabs caught in Taiza, Japan's leading crabbing area. The female snow crabs used as an ingredient are on the smaller side, but the rich miso, bubbly textured roe (fertilized), and unfertilized roe on the inside of the shell are widely enjoyed as delicacies.
Getting to prepare the crab for the meal and make Nigri sushi. The staff was very great and very fun. The food was amazing.

Tatsumiya Restaurant
食はもちろん、日本の文化に欠かせないお茶。京都府の南東に位置する宇治は、国内各地に数あるお茶の産地の中でも、トップクラスの名産地です。茶摘み前に覆いをかけて日光を遮り茶葉の旨みを高める独特の栽培方法や、優れた製茶・ブレンド技術で作られる「宇治茶」は、最高級の銘茶として国内外に広く知られています。その中でも代表的な、「茶の湯」と「抹茶料理」を通じてお茶の魅力を体感しましょう。どちらも、プロフェッショナルによる本格的な内容です。
The tea ceremony was definitely the highlight of the tour. Getting to make your own tea being taught by a master was amazing.

The Old Halls of Toyosato Elementary School
The old halls of Toyosato Elementary School, located in Ōmihachiman, Shiga Prefecture, were designed by the office of the architect Vories, who developed his work across Japan from 1908. Even among the over 1,000 works by Vories, this public elementary school is quite peculiar. At the time, it was furnished with leading-edge facilities such as reinforced concrete buildings, long, wide hallways, an independent library, and more. Enjoy touring around the old school buildings, dubbed "the best elementary school in the East", with a Toyosato Travel Guide.
I really enjoyed seeing the science class rooms. It is so crazy that the school was so advanced with it's technology compaired to America.
