We had a tasty lunch at a Udon house that was nearby. Finding places to eat that match our schedule has been tricky. Lunch runs from 1 to 4 or so, dinner may only start at 8 pm bt sometimes earlier. Lots of places are open but the kitchen is not so searching a restaurant does not always tell us the whole story. Our lunch was tasty and we walked from the restaurant to a very large park to the south. The opera house is located on the edge of the park and when we got there we saw that the park is located on a tall hill. Leslie walked up the steep ramp and I took the multiple sets of stairs. Once we got to the top we hung out for a bit to let our knees, hips and backs recover. Then we walked back to the hotel and had some snacks from our fridge before heading out again to explore.
