Most families eat lunch/dinner together afterwards. In our case, we usually eat lunch together at a hotel nearby afterwards...please look at this post for more info on the significance of the 49 day service. https://katnsatoshiinjapan.blogspot.com/2013/09/49-day-service.html<br /><br />V, it only took us 1 hour onboard to get from Haneda to Itami...I think it takes about 3 hours by Shinkansen, plus you only get to see Mount Fuji for like 3 seconds, yeah?!<br /><br />Take care you two.<br />KatK and Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375282198168168331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-39665517411277065562021-04-27T10:23:17.429+09:002021-04-27T10:23:17.429+09:00Interesting how they do the mask thing.

Everything looks delicious, and I would definitely eat that white sashimi with the daikon!<br />With the time to get to the airport and fly down, how long does it take compared to shinkansen? Beautiful view of Fujisan!<br />vAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-51233745214495972492021-04-27T09:03:08.775+09:002021-04-27T09:03:08.775+09:00Appreciate learning about Japanese culture.
