This was the first course of my dinner at Morinouta, the terrific little place I’m staying at in Nikko. Just pick the little trout up by the skewers and start in, head, skin, bones, tail, and all. I was congratulated on making it as far as I did, and it was good!
This was my private onsen in Nikko. What a wonderful way to unwind after a day of wandering through the Nikko rain.
I’m not sure what the occasion was, but interesting to find them all just outside my hotel in Morioka.
If you are in your hotel, need to do laundry on the 4th floor but you are on the 9th floor, do you go down there hoping a machine will be available only to find one is not? Not here! You just turn on the television and scroll down to this screen that nicely tells you that there is or is not a washer available. As you can see, by looking at the fourth one over, my laundry is happily sloshing away (washer/dryer combined, of course).
Here’s my nice little sun room in Nikko. I want that green laid-back chair (not adjustable), which would be excellent for taking an afternoon nap.
