Wow, next Tuesday night I will be on a plane back to LAX. I have rested well.

What did we do yesterday?

It was raining and we visited one of the many botanical gardens in Japan. Afterwards we visited the “eyeball manga” street/museum of Shigeru Mizuki.

He was born in poverty, had a gift for drawing since he was young, was drafted into WW2 (born in 1922! Died in 2005!), lost his left arm, befriended a local tribe and then eventually made his acclaimed “eyeball manga” after a series of different publications and challenges.

We stayed at Kyukamura Oku-Daisen. $80USD per person for accommodations, onsen, dinner and breakfast. Loved this charming, older place. Good, clean energy.
Oh and eating McDonald’s yesterday was superb.
