The Festival

These are the two WWOOFers from Taiwan, Ryu-san on the left and Lee-san on the right. They left a few days ago to go to a new host somewhere in Japan :(

This is us with a couple of very intimidating looking samurai (touch of sarcasm there).

...Most of the samurai's swords were upside-down and watching them try to put them back in their sheaths was quite amusing :)

This is the electric bus that brought us to the dam.

This is the dam.

...and some pretty mountains (Okaasan in the red hat)

A blast from the past!

Starting to get hungry...

...but decide against the iceberg and instead go for ice cream :D

A little word of advice : if you ever feel adventurous and want to try wasabi ice cream... don't.
It's okay for the first lick or two but it all goes downhill from there.

A cute little temple where we drank some tasty sake and the non-vegetarians had some grilled fish.

A video of us at this festival on a Japanese news channel.

Lee-san went a little insane when he saw himself on TV...
