Our families came to visit us over the Christmas/New Years holiday. Though enjoyable, it was like taking 4 illiterate children on vacation. We have become somewhat accustomed to living in Japan, but to be responsible for someone who is new to international travel is exhausting wonderful.
We were always trying to get them to try new foods...
chicken kebab
okonomiyaki
gyoza dogs (meat dumpling in bao dough)
Japan also has a lot of history and many sights worth seeing...
famous monkey sculptures in Nikko
Oarai beach
Ushiku Daibutsu (Ushiku Buddha)
Fukuroda Waterfall in Daigo
To relieve some stress and look awesome we took shopping breaks...
H&M
and spent one night at the happiest place on earth (besides Krispy Kreme when the red light is on), Disney Sea in Tokyo...
Under the sea
Carousel on the Arabian Coast
We also spent time with the Kajiyamas. They have helped us so much and have basically become our adoptive parents in Japan...
breakfast with the Kajiyamas
New Years Day
and now I present the only photo with all of us...
Hope you had a good time in Japan. Come back anytime, but call first.
