July 4th weekend adventures

Post by Araner »

4th of July weekend in Nagano prefecture

Summer is here and the butterflies are enjoying the flowers

Image

The fish are swimming

Image

And, my wife is on the go!

Image

We visit a castile site in the town of Matsushiro. The mote and stone walls are there but the actual castle is gone.

Image

Then we visited a wasabi farm (Japanese horse radish) in the Azumino area.
From above all you see is the sun shades

Image

From below you see the wasabi plants that are grown in running water. The root of the plant is ground to make the wasabi paste.

Image

The next day we went to Kurobe Dam

Image

That picture was taken from an observation point much higher above

Image

And here we are in the middle of the dam

Image

Image

Next we ascended via cable cars and ropeways to Mt. Tateyama so that we could enjoy the scenery of the Tatayama mountain range

Image

Image

We pause by a small pond for a rest

Image

Image

Then it's time to return to Kurobe dam

Image

It was a great adventure and a great 4th of July weekend

The End

Cool photos. I wish I had a better camera, and I would add some. I need to check this subforum more often!
