🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♀️Cycling in Azumino/Matsumoto Yesterday:

RE: https://mastodon.social/@javbw/116431735815898373

@aleen Most rural “road stations” have a “Grandma’s craft corner” where the local grandmas sell their unique knitting and sewing projects. Occasionally it is Grandpa’s Woodshop corner, where carved or cut knickknacks are sold, next to the commercially packaged pickled vegetables, and mascot keychains.

Two of the bench cushions were cheap for the effort (1500y 10$), but the 3-dimensional double-thick pink one was double the price (3500y 22$) !

I wonder what you would sell in the craft corner 🤔

🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♀️Heading to Azumino today (actually north, right where the EQ was yesterday) for cycling - taking the new road past Kusatsu this morning.
🥕🐼On Sunday at Tsuruga Castle, I bumped into a mascot we later deciphered was for Ginseng - it explains the little panda purse!
