2018-11-14, Korenji light up

In the middle of the week my co-teacher, her son and I went to this maple tree illumination.  Only a few of the trees had turned color, up until the last week or two it's been a very warm fall, but it was a nice evening and we got a lot of exercise walking up the little mountain.  Also some good food!










Wild boar udon (noodles in broth)

I've never seen anything like this old cotton candy machine.  You put in $1 and open it's 'tummy'.  Then with a wooden chopstick you swirl the cotton candy as it's made!





Grilled whole fish on a stick.  Not your typical American festival food.



Nor is this.  Sticky rice on a stick, grilled with a miso, walnut, sesame seed sauce.

 







Evidently on weekends and even some evenings when the trees are really colorful there is usually a 
2 -3 hour traffic jam on the little road that leads to this park.  Can't imagine anything being nice enough to sit through that!
