I had some stuff written about Inuyama castle, but when adding pictures I accidentally deleted it. I don't want to rewrite it, so just enjoy the pictures of the oldest castle in Japan.
Myra in the third story of the castle:
After the castle we made our way to the other attractions and managed to arrive at the exhibit hall shortly before a demonstration of the tea serving doll was held. W couldn't understand most of what was said, but we could see the demonstration just fine. It was pretty cool.
After this we headed to Gifu, where we got lunch on our way walking to the castle. We took a tram to the castle, since it is on top of a mountain. The view wAs excellent and the breeze enjoyable, but the castle itself was a disappointment. It ended up being a reconstruction. At least it didn't cost too much and Myra and I got to walk down the mountain. Ani took the ropeway because of her hip.
Here is a shot of the castle at the bottom of the mountain:
And a view from the top of the castle:
We took the bus back to the station and started back for Osaka. We went to dinner at a yummy Nepalese restaurant, and then returned to our dorms for a good nights sleep.
The end.
This is my last post for a while, as I'm leaving for Portland tomorrow. I love all the pictures, even if it is a reconstruction. It looks wonderful, and the view from the bottom and top is breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteHad a great visit with Maria, Jonah (16 mths), Rose, and Elias, too. We swam, swam the baby, and made silly faces most of the time.
I'm glad you and Mia got to walk down, it must have been quite a trek! And I'm also glad Ani didn't!! SO glad to get her hip update tonight. Should be quite treatable in Canada. Sure wish I could see you before I leave. Much love to you and your kitties. These kitties are imminently happy, as I brushed them for about a half hour tonight. Love, Mamma
Aww, thanks for always keeping up, thanks for brushing the kitties, we miss you!
