Emperor's Visit to Osaka and Nara Oktober Fest 2013

We were supposed to go to a park to see flowers, but realized something is going on...

This person explained that emperor is coming and telling us to behave :)

This many people came to see the emperor

Since I had time, I stopped by the Oktober Fest in Nara
We drink lots of beer in the summer in Japan, so even though it's not really October, it's perfect timing for Japanese 
 
So expensive
A glass is $800 to $1500!  
 
 German Wine tasting was there
Of Course I had to stop
 
Delicious!
 
They go door to door to sell this wine









Good Beer!
