Interesting things on the way to Zama

Since Mona was doing the driving to Camp Zama, I was able to spend a lot of time looking at the sights on the way. There is so much that catches the eye here in Japan. As the temperatures begin to warm up, one of the things that we are looking forward to is doing more sightseeing. There is so much to see, you could spend months just walking around the Yokosuka area.

The Tanuki crossing sign.

This a view of Mount Fuji from Yokohama. This
shows Mount Fuji from about 50 miles away. 

This is a do-it-yourself toll machine.
We had never seen one before so we
weren't sure where to put the ticket
and money. We chose the wrong one -
an attendant came out to help us. :)

Mona is always fascinated by how the school
children wear the same hats. Each class has
their own hat style - easier for the teacher to
find her class among all the students.

The more we travel, the more we see these plots
of land. I  think it is an area where people can
have private gardens.

Mona wanted me to write exactly what I said
when I was taking this picture. "My mom
said that not a lot of people drive cars in
Japan. I am going to call bull shark on that."
Just joking mom - lots of people do ride the
trains and buses. You also see a lot of people
walking or riding bicycles.
