Message from the Editor – “Yamashita’s Mountain”
Thank you for reading—this is Yamashita, your newsletter editor.
I took my first Golden Week trip since joining—straight to Atami! From Mt. Fuji views on the bullet train to picture-perfect cafés, the trip was a blast. And yes, I queued (twice) for the famous Atami Pudding—ended up hauling seven jars plus a whole pudding cake. Worth every calorie!
