Round 1 7.12


After the school visit today we were scheduled to go to Arashiyama park golf. Park golf is kind of miniature golfing but more like a golf course than U.S. mini golf. Nonetheless, we couldn't go because of rain so we went to Round 1. Round 1 is an arcade. But this is not your Chuck E. Cheese. This is like an arcade on steroids. When we walked in we were immediately grabbed by all the flashing lights. It felt like Las Vegas with games as far as the eye could see. Our kids would have been fine with staying in that one area. Little did we know so much more existed.

We went upstairs to pay and were admitted to 3 floors of activities. The kids were given a couple hours and could do whatever they wanted which included: basketball, tennis, badminton, volleyball, and the list goes on. Two of my favorites were fishing and the relaxation corner. You could literally put a fishing pole in the water and try and catch a fish. Bob was concerned about what would happen if we actually did catch a fish; we weren't really in a position to take it home. In the relaxation corner you could set a a full body massage chair and...relax.

At the end, everyone received a free try at a claw machine that had ice cream in it. A couple kids were successful but the bulk were not. Seeing the great interest in ice cream, our hosts then got us all ice cream at the snack bar.
