This is the one right? It really is beautiful!!!

Director singing: Where is the lost kitten?

It's CathyCat and right now we're on the way to a beautiful beautiful

Sakura spot out here and you said near Tokyo?

Oh, it's in the corner of Tokyo, and it's not so well-known

so the director and I are gonna go by car and try and search for that wonderful

Sakura spot for you guys because it just started

It just started blooming this weekend, right? Yeah blossoms have just opened. So we're hoping for

Saitama is gonna take a little bit longer. So the full bloom in Saitama is gonna be a couple of days later

So hopefully we can show you wonderful Sakura trees in full bloom today

The Tanashi Tower doesn't seem to be "tanoshii" (fun) to me....

Check it out Cathy there is a Donki Hote!

(suddenly both start singing the Doki Hote store jingle)

"This strange store has a random selection of many items"

Wait a second it's Yamazaki bread? - Yes this is their factory here.

Yes it smells of bread it smells of like freshly baked toast!

Danger!!! - That cyclist is living on the edge!

That was really dangerous! - She drove right over the red light!

Many Japanese cyclist are keeping to the rules but honestly....

You can easily get here by train from Tokyo, without many changes.

People from Tokyo would often come here when they are tired of the city life.

WOW that truck just now had NTR written on it!!!!

There is a "namazu" on the street signs...! - What is that in English?

Catfishes live quite deep in the ocean and they have those antennas there right?

But in truth they cannot predict earthquakes, still they are used as symbol for it.

In the old days people used to believe in that.

In the old days they used to think if a catfish acts up, there might be an earthquake.

Its like a mascot character to spread awareness of earthquakes.

We finally have reached a gasoline station! - So glad you found one.

- We are MAN-TAN on gasoline! - Full tank!!!

Why is it called Man-Tan CathyCat? - Well....

The MAN syllable is used for full things like the full bloom. TAN could be from tank?

(Cathy started singing Kyari PamyuPamyu and thought this would get cut but it didn't lol)

Navi: Keep left! After that keep left.  Director: Ok!

There is another tower. - You have reached your destination.

So we're back to my microphone style and the place we are right now is called

MAYUGURA... does this name have a meaning?

This used to be an old storage for cloth in the past days.

I will have your MAYU plate then please and...

We don't use any meat at all for this plate.

With my meal I got a card that explains to me all the ingredients used in my dishes.

The Mayu dish and the vegetable plate are both listed here.

There are some Kanji even I can't read!!!

Wow, there's so many colorful things on here.

I don't even know what to start but you can see that they really carefully select all the

vegetables and that's not to be taken for granted when you eat out

And I have a special type of rice that I've never had before so I'm excited to try that one

So what I heard now that MAYU KURA is the word of "Mayu" which is like...

cocoon of silk and similar things and KURA for storage

So they used to store here different types of cloth before they were actually made

So ORIMONO and they're using the first floor as a cafe and the second floor is a gallery and even on the walls

right now, there are many art pieces that symbolize again cloth and similar like that. So

Pretty nice .... like even the chairs are pretty cool

the way they're made so they pay a lot of attention to the design in the place

But also to the food, so it was really well selected types of food that you don't casually get to eat

There were a couple of things I've never really had the chance to eat here
