Beautiful Japan and the things I do

This is in Ikego (another section of Base) looking into a pond filled with turtles there are so many crazy signs that are poorly translated, it is so funny. This is just an example of one that I thought was hilarious! Seriously did they really need to put that in a stair well? oh, the joys of Japan.
we were able to go up to Minakami, which is up in the mountains. A beautiful place with great water, what more could you ask for?
Not only were we able to go rafting in Minakami but we went canyoning. Canyoning is diffrent here than it is in the states. Here they dress you in two or three thick wet suits, helmet, lifejacket, harness with a rubber butt, and gloves. Send you down the canyon water either head first or on your bum. As you go through the canyon you come in contact with waterfalls such as this one that is 65 feet high. And yes we went down it, the guide will lower you about half way on a rope and then drop you :) it is a blast!!!!!
