The bottom two seem vaguely familar. I'm not too familiar with Japan north of Shizuoka. But have made a few trips (Hakone once). That lake reminds me of Matsushima perhaps. Is that the place, a long time ago, that was the choke point to restrict N/S travel?

yeah like qilver said...it's lake ashi in the pictures.

right now? in bed. *yawwwwn*

I'd have thought anyone able to experience such an environment would feel lucky indeed. If only for the duraction of that trip.

We need to all go back to Japan for a vacation. It's a lot more fun and intense. Maybe if Morning Musume is going to do a 2007 Spring or Summer Concert (big blowout with all the H!P girls) that would be the time to go. Maybe even Aya would be holding some kind of event too.

ditch the morning musume action and get a bunch of ppl together and let's go.....i'd rather buy beer than see a bunch of lil' girls who can't sing man.

good luck tryin' to find aya....closest you might get is buying some natto.

Yeah, Aya probably won't be touring much more. Which is too bad.

But interestingly, Morning Musume is going to be in Kobe this weekend. Not going to make it this time of course. But it's nice to know MM does play in Osaka and Kobe. Probably not a good idea to get drunk prior to the show. But after the show we can all get tanked at a local underground bar/club.

And since I have no money for such a trip, I'll just have to be satisfied with a hot bath in the tub and a bottle of Bionsen Japanese Spa Minerals Foam Bath. (I can dream, can't I...?).

That sounds like a plan! Have to start thinking about travel dates after Christmas. Qilver is seriously contemplating going too. He'll probably want to go see Morning Musume though.
