This tulip in Chisa’s garden was just opening.
I was hoping these daffodils would open before we left, but they didn’t quite make it.
This edible plant (the brown one) is called a field horsetail.
When we were in Osaka, we saw people hunting for them on the levee near the Tomato Hostel. Shiho, the chef at Momo in Osaka, went to a deal of trouble to translate this word for us, so we made a point of looking for them wherever we went. We found some growing around Miyama-cho.
In a tourist information centre near Chisa’s place, Frances and I found “Futon & Breakfast” an amusing concept. You couldn’t accuse them of false representation.
Carol admires an organic daikon (giant radish). We ate quite a few of these, in various forms, before we left Japan.
Countryside around Chisa’s place:
The white pipe at the right of the picture drained water to this field from a higher field beside it.
