The setting sun has cast a warm glow on Mount Fuji, and the lanterns are starting to illuminate the garden and its paths. Mickey Mouse is proudly presenting to Minnie Mouse, the bonsai tree that was cultivated by Goofy, who has found his inner peace by tending to the garden and the bonsai. Donald Duck is very determined to learn the correct way to use the chopsticks and is trying hard to follow the way Daisy Duck uses them. Pluto has ventured over and joined Chip ‘n Dale to watch the antics of the Koi fish in the pond. Join Thomas Kinkade Studios as we follow the travels of Mickey Mouse and Friends in Disney Mickey and Minnie in Japan.
