This morning in Osaka I had the American breakfast again and Duke had the Japanese breakfast. He said it was very good.

Up until today we have been traveling west to east in Japan pretty much along the south coast. Today we took the train north and a little bit east to the north coast of Japan. We are now in the city of Toyama. Today was our longest train journey in Japan., two trains and two and a half hours.

For dinner we went to a Yakiniku restaurant (Japanese Barbecue) not far from our hotel and had great meat like we have had several places.

After dinner we went to Cotton Jazz Club and listen to a fabulous female pianist. The audience was just us and one other guy.
