I am loving your trip report .Japan doesnt change clocks it gets light early morning and dark early evening .I love that its light very early best time to go see temples and Shrines as not to many people . Sorry you missed the Oturu music box shop it beautiful but another trip I brought my daughter and I a music box so many pretty ones but I was limited as moving around a lot couldnt carry to much other wise would have loaded up . Cheddar and Robin look cute in front of Pokemon manhole covers .Love the gentleman wanting to get photo of them Japanese people are so wonderful I love Hokkaido been 3 times still many places want to go . Hope to go to Guam one day it is beautiful. Cant wait next installment .
