The bonsai tree has a front and back. If seen from the front, the branches will be clear and not obstructed by the leaves or flowers. In the picture below, the bonsai is made to seem like it's bowing.

Soba that you dip into the soy sauce soup before eating. After finishing the soba, you pour the dashi in the metal teapot into the soy sauce mix and drink it.

After that we went to the Taiko arcade! The music game was 100 yen for 3 songs, very cheap.
