We decided to drive to Lake Towada on Saturday, instead of going to Hirosaki for the cherry blossoms (on the assumption that the semi-freak snow storm had killed most of them). The kids did well on the drive considering that they aren't very used to long drives anymore. Everyone enjoyed the water, although it was breezy and a little cold.
We found a scenic overlook on the other side of the lake. Adam and Lottie had fun with Grandma on the platform.
See the snow on the mountain; but it was also down near the lake.
A thatched roof - used to be common out in the country. This was one of only two we saw.
Chris and Dad enjoyed a local brew at lunch.
Only in Japan would women think that heels are appropriate hiking footwear.
A waterfall in Oirase Gorge.
Adam and Grandpa climbed onto a giant rock to get this shot. Adam also collected a giant volcanic rock that I then had to carry around the rest of the trip. Thanks, Grandpa!
