Flower Viewing at the Shibakawa River

Two friends and I went to the Shibakawa River area to view the cherry trees in bloom. This is a special time in Japan.

Friday Finish - Christmas Tree Ornaments

I just finished these into Christmas Tree ornaments.

I also made these two, but gave them away before I finished and photographed the others.

Fuji City Folklore Museum

This free two story museum focuses on local history and culture in the Fuji City area.

Fuji City is known for paper production. The display below shows how toilet paper is made.

There is a large display on how Japanese paper is made.

This room shows a classroom. I thought this was extremely interesting.

I recommend visiting this interesting local museum!

After visiting Fuji Safari Park, my friends and I went to Rin Cafe for coffee. It is a unique cafe with an offering of special coffees.

The menus are large double sided boards and available in English and Japanese. I chose Kobe Mocha Blend.
