Fifteenth day in Japan

Ukai-Toriyama Restaurant

After a day on Mt. Takao we joined the rest of the family at the Ukai-Toriyama restaurant. This is my favorite restaurant. It is located in the Mt. Takao area and is comprise of 38 separate buildings (tea houses) located in beautiful Japanes mountain gardens. Each building is a separate dining area usually containing just one table, tho there are larger buildings for larger groups. Each building is like a tea house. This page, and the next show pictures around the gardens.

Michie and Yoshiko are getting some hot white sake.

This is the season (harvest season) for white (partially fermented, sweet) sake.
