橋本駅之约 Meeting at Hashimoto Station

---

Today is the second time I had a meeting with my Japanese penpal at Hashimoto Station. We met at the same place during my last trip to Tokyo a few years ago. The weather was really bad this time, gloomy with rain that seemed to last for ages. We had drinks and did some catching up at a foodcourt in the shopping mall next to the station. Foodcourts are slowly creeping into Japanese culture.
