They also serve like dinnerish because they don’t have a restaurant. So, what they do is they give you like a basket and in this basket you get to pick from this fridge where you cook in your room using a microwave oven while taking beef. And then they’ve got some puffs, right? Evan’s taking his soup. [Music] So daddy, what do you get? Soup. And I got this piece. You got Yeah, I got this. Oh, ham and cheese.

We got the temple that’s going to be overlooking Mount Fuji in front of me. Mommy’s come up all the way midway through. There’s still more up there, but mommy’s not going to go up there. She’s going to go the other side to watch the view. Okay, so we’re here to uh see Mount Fuji, but unfortunately it looks like Mount Fuji is covered in quite a bit of clouds today. That’s okay. At least I’m on the mountain that overlooks. It’s got a beautiful pakakota out there. Uh yeah, we got somebody who’s already at the rest stop. Hello. Hello. Just 100. [Music] Hello. Oh yeah.

Imagining Mount Fuji right in front of her face. [Music] Can I? No. [Music] Well, this place literally has everything Mount Fuji from uh mineral water bottles all the way down to memorabilious posters. You name it, they have it. So lunch time today at Miji.
