We went apple picking with directions that I wrote down on a post it note... Derick was not impressed... But between my friend Rachel and I we got there... and this is it... a shack... in the Japanese country side... thank goodness we are in Japan where everything is fairly safe... cause in the states I might have been kinda scared...
Inside the shack we met this really nice lady who knew no English... but no worries... between hand motions and our broken Japanese we communicated what we need to and bought entrance to the apple orchard... it was like 500 yen to get in and eat as much as you can and you get to bring 3 kilo's home...
To get to the apple orchard we had to walk down this hill with a vineyard on it... we ate grapes on our way to the apples... they were so delicous!
Our whole group... and the awesome old Japanese lady who was at the bottom of the hill at the orchard who taught us the proper method of picking apples from the tree and which ones were the ripest... with NO English! She was awesome!
Derick and I... awww
Smash throwing his son Caleb up in the air... it was kinda scary for me... that kid went high!
Awesome view from an observation tower in the middle of the woods next to the orchard! Fall is the best in Japan...
A vending machine with bottles of grape and apple juice... I love Japan...
This was a short drive from the orchard at the "cherry house"... its this big dragon thing that you pay to go in and get a helmet and climb up inside all those tubes going around the outside... in the states this would be a lawsuit waiting to happen!

The dragon looks safer than Mr. Bishop's!
