10 yen sushi place and gotokuji temple (japan)

Last year when I was in Japan, I discovered an amazing sushi place that has pieces of sushi for JUST 10 YEN!!!!!!  That's right, you read it correctly!!!  However, it is only one kind of sushi that is for 10 yen/piece.  They have some other cheap pieces of sushi as well, but for salmon its 160 yen a piece (16 pieces of the cheap sushi!!!)  There is just one guy working at the place and its VERY SMALL.  The biggest group would have to be 4 people (if you go early, like I did). You need to purchase a drink and then you can order as much as you like.  Some people order 20 or 30 pieces at a time!!!!!!  The cheap sushi is quite good.  If you want to read more about the place, here is a link if you click here Since its a small place, you need to respect the area and realize that others are there as well.....tight corners.  The next day I rode my bike to Gotokuji Temple.  The temple is known for having TONS of manekinekos!!! It was awesome seeing all of them and taking tons of photos.  Of course I had to buy one for myself!

just 100 yen for the plate!!!!!!

Hakone Open-Air Museum (Japan)

This past Saturday I went to the open air museum in Hakone with my parents and some family friends.  I have been to Hakone before, but it was my first time going to the open air museum.  It was nice to walk around and see all the different things on display.  The foot bath was quite nice to relax in for a bit because it was a cold day.  The next day my parents and I went to Tokyo Dome and had a great time.  It was a nice and relaxing weekend.
