H-Shop

Best location of the Onegai Sites Tour if you ask me! Since I "look like a Japanese", I needed to ask for an English menu first before they noticed I'm not Japanese. They quickly asked me if I knew anime, the asnwer was easy. Anime was the reason why I was there. Thanks to my goldfish memory I don't know many details about the shop in the anime, also some anime pictures they showed me were not in my memory. But I noticed the nice Onegai Twins calendar in the background, which is almost a perfect copy of the real shop!
After pointing towards the calendar they asked me for more details about the anime Onegai Twins. Not much more information came out of me, except that out of Karen and Miina I liked Karen more. This is how the shop's staff and I got to know each other.

According to another location hunt site, this is the shop where Miina and Karen worked part-time. The real name of the shop is Y-shop, in the anime named H-shop.
After a little bit of talking, the people there speak English, I got to write something in the Onegai visitors comment book. There was a map in the shop where all Onegai visitors can mark their location, which I did as well (check the pictures).

Meanwhile the shop owner took out her laptop and showed me the shop's blog. If you use google-translater or something you can read the posts quite easily. It's pretty much about what happens in and around the shop. I noticed that I missed the cherry blossom season in Nagano prefecture by a few days T_T Another interesting site that came up was babelfish/yahoo translator, wasn't being used much though.

After some chatting and me finishing my lunch, they found someone who would give me a ride to the top of a mountain nearby. It turned out to be one of the location hunt places I didn't know about, it's marked on the H-shop's map.
I thought they were making jokes about possible snow, but it turned out that it's for real! Lucky me they lent me a jacket, so it wasn't too cold up there. A small tip when going towards Nagano prefecture, consider taking along a jacket!

More text about the ride to the mountain at another picture. After the mountain visit I came back, more chatting and the shop owner taught me how to play shogi (Japanese chess). Had dinner there as well. And that was my first visit to H-shop.

At around 5:00 PM I had to take a train back towards Tokyo, that was the last train. H-shop staff checked the trainschedule for me, cause I didn't plan on staying that long at Kizaki Lake. It's a way more fun place than I expected!
The second time I visited the place was fun as well. Another game of shogi and they showed me around a bit. Again it turned that I took the last possible train towards Tokyo.
