Nozawa Onsen III

Since our group was so large, they set aside a special room for our dinner with a long table. The men sat at one end and the ladies came shortly after.

You can see the many dishes laid for each setting. This is traditional eating at its best in Japan. Instead of a single plate with a few items, many tiny plates and bowls are -- what seems -- endlessly brought by an attentive staff.

Pickles, sashimi (raw fish), meats (grilled on your own personal mini-grill), vegetables, and rice. By the end, you are stuffed!
