Oh the irony!
As soon as I free myself from the hustle and bustle of my studies at Tohoku University, I am busy visiting family and friends and simply awesome Japanese locations before I leave Japan!
This past weekend I went to visit my friend Tadao-san in Saitama Prefecture. He showed me around the rustic town of Kawagoe, took me to two festivals and fireworks on consecutive nights in the neighboring towns of Ogose and Ogawa, and took me to Honda's Welcome Plaza where I was able to finally meet ASIMO and find my next car!
The awesome Clock Tower at Kawagoe!!!!
Making Washi paper in Ogawa!!!
How do you like them?
An amazing festival cart for Tanabata!!! They can attach an automaton to the top of these carts!!!
Fireworks!!!!
Rock ON ASIMO!!!!
How does this look as my next car? 0.660 liter and convertible!!! Ecological and cool!
I also went to the Iwate area yesterday to visit Toyota's amazing factory and Hiraizumi, but I have yet to get to those photos.
Sadly, I will not be able to edit photos AGAIN. I am off to visit family in Yaita this weekend!!! Hopefully I can go to Nikko one last time before I return home!!!
