That roadside stop in the middle of the water is craazzyyy! Like the way it seems to just emerge from the water is something out of a movie. I thought the little mascot was cute, Japan has such cute things that I can’t wait to buy when I go back, whenever that is.

You've inspired me to finally book my dream vacation & I'm extremely proud to say that I'll be flying into Japan in 3 WEEKS. Thanks for all the advice over the years, it's going to come in handy. Thanks, Norm.
