This morning, Becky, Megan, Kristen, Tess, Eric, Franco and I all went to The Little Mermaid Cafe in the train station for breakfast.  We ate there yesterday for lunch and they had amazing pastries, so we figured it would be good for breakfast.  Becky and I then went to a nearby Starbucks and I got an Orange Brulee Frappuccino, which I've only seen in Japan.  It was really good.  I wonder if they'd make it back home if I asked?

Our first stop was just down the street from the hotel, in a feudal town.  The stores were normal, but they were in feudal buildings, which was really cool.  We went into a folk art museum that had samples of furniture, pottery, statues, and jewelry.  I would have loved to buy pottery from the gift shop, but it was expensive.  Next we took a quick walk through Ivy Square, which used to be a textile factory and is now a hotel and restaurant.  We were given free time after that to walk around and check out the stores.  We went into this one store that was pretty much cat themed, with a few dog items in it.  There were cat statues, cat stuffed animals, and real cats.  They even had cat music playing - Christmas carols, actually, meowed by cats.  It was pretty weird.

We're on the train for Tokyo right now.  We should be arriving around four o'clock.
