Nambutei Buffet Dinner — April 2008

On Tuesday, 22 April, thirty-four C&O members and guests made the annual pilgrimage to the charming restaurant Nambutei, nestled on the southern edge of Tokyo’s Hibiya Park.

Mt Takao Hike & Dinner at Ukai Toriyama — May 2008

It was under a threatening weather forecast that we optimistically gathered outside Takao-sanguchi Station for a midday start to our hike on 24 May. A few latecomers — namely Charlotte Lewis and myself — were delayed after being lured into the nearby Trick Art Museum (strongly encouraged by Tim Minton!). After finally escaping its maze of optical illusions, we rejoined the group and set off.
