Thanks again, I was going to make a post to ask about bikes so you beat me too it! We are going to defiantly make a day just for biking and enjoying the countryside. (not to get too far off topic, but were the bikes the typical bikes you see in Tokyo with no gears and basket in front? If we are going to sped a day on bike I would need a 14 or 21 speed built for riding on both road and dirt surfaces. I was thinking about renting or buying a used bike in Tokyo with shocks and large tires for this purpose.)
