Killing time and a request for help.

A quick update while I wait for my ride to work.  Not much going on though.  Had some guests yesterday where the husband was Spanish or Indian,  I think Spanish,  but it turns out he could speak five languages.  I can barely speak one so needless to say I was quite impressed. 
Lately our lunches have been more busy than our dinners,  so it certainly does seem people are spreading the word.  Either that or all the work Asuka does on the Facebook page is really paying off.
Getting closer and closer to the day when my mom comes for her visit,  and running or of ideas of where to take her.  Any one out there no any good,  inexpensive places to take a tourist?  Comment with some suggestions for the Tokyo,  Karuizawa,  Kyoto and Osaka area?  That's most likely where we will be going. 

Merry Belated Christmas and Happy Current Year

As the title suggests, we have been quite busy over the holidays here. I take it to mean that word of the awesome Canadian guy has spread and everyone wants to come see and or laugh at him.

It's finally slowing down here now that the holidays are all over but like everywhere there are still a few stragglers that show up at the tail end of everything. But for the time being we have zero guests staying with us so we only have to be concerned with lunch now. That gives me almost two days off.  Not quite but I'll take it.

On that note we here at Hoshinoko in Karuizawa wish you all had happy and safe holidays and we look forward to seeing you in 2014!
