i would have eaten everything shown here if this meal was served in another day... but not this day. i was so full after eating breakfast, i only ate small portions of each food type... ah, except the hida beef - reputed to be one of the best tasting meats in japan (which of course also means, it is very expensive... kaya dapat sulitin! :)). i was so gluttonously satisfied. :D

and this ends my food series, hehe. :)

burp. excuse me. :) i had lots of choices on the dessert table but i opted for the lighter ones... lychees! first time since i left the philippines a year and a half ago... miss na miss ko na to! yum-yum.

as with with all the other top hotels, the breakfast buffet is one of my more anticipated activities... ;) first batch pa lang 'to... had seconds... and thirds... and... hehe

what?! that was my reaction when i learned how much our dinner would've cost us if we were, you know, 'normal' customers. 7,000 yen each. that's like my food budget for a week. :)

whoa. that was my reaction when i saw this room.

after shirakawa-go, we checked-in at the hotel associa takayama resort. this room normally costs 46,000 yen at this time of the year.

nice village

for that hot someone. ;) 3 dozens please. :)

and now, the fun part. ;) this is the footbridge to shirakawa-go. one of japan's world heritage sites.

ah, i remember... t means totally humongous!!! haha... not really ;)
