Today is the last day of our trip. Mercer was nice enough to drive us outside of town to Costco! It was really fun to see all the different foods and items that we can’t get at home. The sushi trays were really incredible! It was super crowded- but according to Mercer it would get much worse. We picked up a few things to bring home and got out of there before the lunch rush.
On our way back we stopped at a restaurant near Mercer’s work for cold soba and Tempura. It was a fantastic meal and one of the best things I have eaten the entire trip. We did some souvenir shopping after lunch and then came home to try and figure out how we were going to get everything packed.
One last dinner at our favorite yakitori place and we are headed to the airport. We are excited to be going home but sad to be leaving Japan. This has been the best trip ever and we will be back as soon as possible!
