It was Sunday and nothing to do. The weather forecast said it was going to rain but then it didn't happen. So we hopped on the train to Tachikawa Green Springs.
First lunch at Bistro Saito (ビストロ サイトウ). It wasn't bad.

| Bistro Saito Carrot Potage ¥500 |
Then afternoon tea at Paper Moon. The teas and desserts were delicious, but someone needed to fix the freezer. The ice cream came out half melting.

| Paper Moon Teas, Pie, Cake ¥3,355 |
Green Springs is a new development in Tachikawa City. All the shops here are over-priced tourist traps. However, it has a really nicely landscaped garden flanked by office buildings. It is a relaxing stroll straight shot to IKEA. It's a great place to spend half a day so can't really complain about it.
