Japan - Day 9 - Hotel Listel Inawashiro, Dinner Buffet

Friday, October 21, 2016  Aizu, Fukushima

Hotel Listel Inawashiro lies wedged at the foot of mountains with farmland spreading before it. Early in the planning stages of the trip, I imagined that the surrounding area of the hotel would be devoid of city lights and wondered if maybe I could try to take some long-exposure shots of the stars at night.

Unfortunately, that never happened. After dinner I was too tired and only wanted to go back to the room and relax. Here, at least is a picture that I took from our room before dinner.

Cool, dim sum at the buffet. I'm looking forward to trying the fresh fruits; melons, apples next year.

too bad you didn't get to take night shots, the
buffets have so much good food!

Yum! I saw melons at the J-Stop store but didn't even ask how much they were. Must be delicious!

Chet, after I got home I realized that I didn't get to buy any dekopan oranges while there. Maybe it wasn't in season, but they're so expensive here. Try look for them when you're there. I wrote about it here: http://jalna.blogspot.com/2016/03/dekopan.html

I know, Kat . . . there are few opportunities to be where it is so dark.

Aunty, the melons at J-Shop are crazy expensive. I have one photo of a melon there with a price sticker of $71 on it!!
