My wife and I went to Nagano prefecture last weekend. Here are a few snap shots of places we visited.
First stop is a Buddhist Temple.
An interesting flower on a tree.
And now, life on Mars.
We visited the Mars distillery in Nagano. It’s a small operation and the facility is nestled in a peaceful wooded area at the foot of the Japan Alps.
The tasting room
And, most importantly, the shop where I could buy a few bottles of Mars Whisky to take home.
Lastly, a noodle shop where we had lunch on the first day of the trip.
The End.
Nagano Japan, snap shots

Again, thank you all for the kind remarks. Yes, the whisky is very much a Scotch type of whisky. And, I'd love to hang out with lyrt; certainly would like to get a bit of schooling from him.
When we visited the Mars Distillery, the 4 of us were the only ones there; I being the only foreigner. When we finished the tour and we’re in the Spirits shop, a local news crew showed up to do a piece on the Distillery. Being the only foreigner there (sticking out like a sore thumb) they asked if they could interview me. I’m a relatively shy person but the girl doing the interview was so cute I couldn’t refuse. Here’re three pictures my friend took of me being interviewed.
In this next picture, my wife has managed to get between the interviewer and myself.
All the best,
Mike
