Kaiten Sushi
In Portland we often visit our local kaiten sushi Marinepolis Sushiville.
My understanding of kaiten sushi is if you pick up the plate from the belt you are then responsible for purchasing it. Sean and I have often purchased a plate just to find out what is exactly on that little blue plate.
Kaiten sushi in Japan was serious. Very serious. I was too scared to ask for something more simple.
When it comes to kaiten sushi I think I'll stick to the american version.

Manga Museum
Manga Museum is a very interesting public project located in an old primary school. Great for adults and children.
We spent a long time with the children's collection.
Hunter found the animation creation room.
Nishiki Market
At the top of my to do list was Nishiki Market. Hundreds of food vendors lining the narrow Nishiki-dori (street) with unbelievable sights, smells, and tastes. Sean was adventerous with the samples. Sarah was not.
Daitoku-ji
We were told that while in Kyoto if you visited 3 temples a day it would take 1 year to see all the temples. With our party of 6 it took us 1/2 a day to just visit one.
Here is Daitoku-ji which was just feet from our inn.

We love you Hello Kitty
Grayson would never admit to anyone that he liked Sanrio Puroland but I know he had a great time. We'll miss you Hello Kitty.

Hello Kitty's pet. Grayson was obsessed with her. He kept going back and playing with the brim of her hat and petting her ever so softly.

HELLO KITTY LAND
Sanrio Puroland (a.k.a. Hello Kitty Land). Sorry, for the many many pictures I'm about to share. So hard to describe the experience in words.
Yakitori
Yakitori dinner with Miki, Fusako and Mika in the Shinjuku district. Miki on the far left lived with us for 1 year.
