This looks to be some kind of general store.

The were a LOT of chopstick stores.

Several shops had these drapes? Banners? That date kind of blew my mind. Our country is so young.

I grew to like these drapes a lot.

I’m pretty sure this is a candy and nut shop.

An adorable young couple allowed me to take a photo of their cute “couple shoes.” That’s kind of a thing in Korea and Japan.

Of course we had to have ramen in Japan. I had the Kyoto ramen. It was great.

The white camellias were so beautiful.

Yup, that’s Gucci.

I though this little blue car was so cute. It’s actually a Suzuki Alto Lapin. Lapin is French for “rabbit.”

Part III next week.

Great weekend, everyone!
