fukushima

I visited Fukushima city last weekend (in Fukushima prefecture). My friend Susan is working there now. It's a couple hours north of Tsuchiura by bullet train. We went to Hanamiyama, a pretty place with a mountain full of colorful cherry blossom trees, which I didn't know existed until we went there. We stayed at a Ryokan (a traditional Japanese-style hotel) in Iizaka, which is a nice hot spring town. 
Amazing dinner. All of this food is for one person. Lots of tiny dishes with beautiful looking, wonderful tasting food. 
Keiko and Susan at dinner. We got to wear a yukata (a lighter version of a kimono) at the ryokan.

Beautiful. And can I tell you how jealous I am of you that you're eating/discovering so much amazing food?!
