One last Yuki story. Not surprisingly, this story has me giggling. Just so we are clear – I love ? and ?! 

Wednesday morning we had a bit of free time before meeting for our tour. I decided to take a walk and see a little of the area. I used my resources, Google Maps, and discovered a small park not far from our hotel. We were staying in the Yuki Daiichi Hotel (bottom right) and I walked about a mile to the park on the left. 


The park had a trail that was used for exercising and commuting. 


As I entered the park, I saw a cute sign. It obviously was asking people to clean up after their dog or cat defecated. Did you notice the chopsticks!?! Kawaii! 


I of course giggled and continued on my walk. As I left the park, I walked down a lovely street and passed no less than three people walking their dogs. 


Simultaneously, I passed a half dozen or more no poop ? signs. Several I passed more than once!! 


You know what I love about these signs? How the sign happily tells the dog owner to clean up their dog’s poop ?! Clearly, picking up poop ? is not just an an American problem. 

Perhaps, if we had the kawaii signs, people would be more likely to follow the rules! Regardless, I’ll enjoy a giggle or two each time I pass an adorable puppy ? poop ? sign! Teehee ?
