Above, a Ginza Starbucks. My daughter would feel right at home in Tokyo.
Today was spent exploring Niigata. I went to a photographic exhibit over at the cultural center. I saw a Japanese gentleman with his wife looking at the exhibit and he was almost a dead ringer for the actor who played Gen. Aso in the Heisei Godzilla series and the prime minister in the two Millennium MechaGodzilla movies.
I also visited a shinto shrine and the Bandai Bridge (don't you just love that name?).
The temperatures and rain made my wandering little short. When I left the Bandai Bridge, the temperature was 6 celsius (around 40 degrees farenheit).
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if it snows tonight. It did hail while I was out and about.
I haven't seen a Starbucks in Niigata yet.
