On Tuesday, we started out at Ouchijyuku, a tourist stop in the mountains that is setup to be like an old Japanese Village.
Miki and Nick were eager to try out the dried crickets with weird sticky sauce on them. Niki said it wasn’t that good, while Nick said he liked it.
After spending some time in the village, we took the bus and went to a small stop on the river that had a cool bridge that went across the river to a small shrine on the other side.
Of course Noriko was there and she had invited Danny and Mark, a couple of gaijins living in Kitakata.
After this stop we went to a Ramen shop in a nearby city, Aizuwakamatsu.
Have I mentioned that there is a crazy ton of hydrangea growing everywhere in this area? They are everywhere.
This was the Ramen shop’s display with some hydrangea.
We then went to a large store for some shopping. Many were excited that they could get Coolish (an ice cream in a squeeze tube) for 77 yen. Some found t-shirts and I found Mr. Donuts and got a sweet cream filled cruller. Then it was back to our host families for our final night with them. The time has gone by quickly and we will wake and be to the Chamber of Commerce by 8:15 in the morning.
