Ah I need to explain the part about the small note. The bridge is indeed the first picture showing up in the wiki link. We visited that place because there seems to be heart-shaped stones which are a challenge to find. Very beautiful place but unfortunately there were no flowers (damn spring leaving so fast).

Anyway, there was this random old man who started acting weird and indirectly flirting or something with SakuyaMom. Well not real flirting, but he was being extremely pushy shouting loudly: "NEESAN, HORA MITEKUDASAI! HAATO(ry." He kept on jumping around dashing on the river edge to show us all the heart-shaped stones. It creeped us out and with some effort we managed to escape the old man and go somewhere else.

Oh yes, those old guys in Japan... It seems that (traditionally) old men have freedom to do whatever they want in Japan similar to children and so they often behave like children, too. But I like them, because they aren't afraid of talking to foreigners.

I remember my visit from Japan last month. An older couple, who visited together with me the Japan day in Düsseldorf. The husband said he was a little drunk when he played together with an Dark Elf cosplayer Ninja, but I don't believe him... XD
