rkoldHappy Belated to my favorite giant blond, I should draw something. >>;;
I am attempting to rid myself of VHS tapes for the move, unfortunately Disney does some ridiculous thing with a vault to make it annoying if you missed buying their DVDs when they were reasonably priced. *shakes fist in anger*
My house still does not yet look like normal people live here, I wonder if we can do it.
I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving, and what better way is there to spend Thanksgiving week end than seeing uhhh pictures of Hokkaido and Tohoku!
Hakodate Hachiman Shrine in Hakodate
Hakodate across the bay
Monument to the dead Tokugawa retainers
Hiking trail I decided to follow for fun
Gokoku jinja
Pumpkins on display near Onuma Quasi National Park
Komagatake, BTW for those curious yes it is an active volcano and last blew in 2000
The hotel I was staying at in Aomori was holding some sort of wedding conference lol
For those not well acquainted with Tohoku, a map of Aomori prefecture
The bridge to cross into the land of the dead, Osorezan. For those who don't know Osorezan is one of the 3 most sacred Buddhist mountains in Japan. (The other two are the much more visited Koya-san and Hiei-san) Osorezan is very hard to get to without a car or tour bus and is closed from November to April (I think for snow) It's in the middle of that little peninsula of land that looks like an axe handle. I had to: take a train to Noheiji, wait 1 hour there, take another train to Mutsu/Shimokita and then take a bus to Osorezan. If I ever go again I am so renting a car or doing a tour bus.

The small onsen you could use for free at the temple. No real facilities but they are gender segregated. It was really nice :D
