Japan

Took the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Utsunomiya for the day which was a nice break from the extreme urbanscape of Tokyo. Walked through Oya quarry and bought a little succulent planter made from (allegedly) the mined stone. Grabbed some gyoza where every shop had lines wrapped around the block.

I love gyoza city. Also a little further is the very fancy shrines in Nikko, so used to do these both as a day trip. 

If you get a chance to do that, recommend :))
