> Chiyoshi Fall Is part of the Oirase Gorge located in the Hachimantai National Park. The water from Towada Ko (Lake)flows into Oirase Gorge. Wooded walking paths line the gorge favored by older tourists. Although not a large fall, Chiyoshi Fall appears beautifully restful. A Chiyoshi Fall photo grows to become a favorite to viewers of Tohoku Region sights. Photographer: Leroy Nagasako
> Edo MuseumNear the Tokyo Sumo arena is the Edo Museum. In the multilevel museum are hands on displays and miniature displays of old Edo. There were volunteer tour guides for foreign tourists. A senior volunteer guided me through the museum and interestingly asked me "why" questions. Although the Edo Museum was about olden times, the architecture appears quite modern. The museum building complex is huge and one enters by a very long ascending escalator on the opposite side of this photo. Photographer: Leroy Nagasako
> Nikko Temple Wedding Traditional weddings at Nikko temples is seen often. Nikko temple complex has 5-7 ascending levels of temples. Each temple complex is large. This is a popular tourist location which is located north of Tokyo in a small town of Nikko. Photographer: Leroy Nagasako
> Climbing Aki Grapevines Wild grapevines in the fall (Aki)season can be seen from the country roads leading to Hakoda Ropeway (Mt. Hakoda). It is a bright, striking sight at the start of the fall season. Photographer: Leroy Nagasako
> Entrance To Hirosaki Castle The red bridge was most impressive part of Hirosaki Castle and its large park. There are many Sakura trees lining this castle park such as along the moat. Some Sakura trees are very old. The trees alongside the entrance are Sakura. My friend Ed and I use the poetic phrases such as "Among flowers, the Sakura, " when we have to give testimonials to celebrate people's achievement. Of course, Hirosaki Castle was guarded when we climbed ladders to the top floor of the castle. From this, one thinks of "Among men, the samurai!" Photographer: Leroy Nagasako
> Solitude at Hirosaki Castle ParkThere are open areas in the castle complex as well as nice trees inside and outside of Hirosaki Castle. This is an early morning scene of a young lady resting. Beyond the grove of trees were seniors doing their daily morning group exercises in an open grassy area. Traveling abroad in a foreign land, one tries to see and learn many things. In a whirlwind tour, one can easily miss a restful and peaceful scene. Photographer: Leroy Nagasako
> Hanging GourdsThe large hanging gourds was part of an Aomori Ringo (apple) farm. We stopped to buy some ringo where you put money in a container in a roadside stand for your bag of fruits or vegetables. When the gourds are dried, the farmer sells gourds as decorative pieces. The main focus was on acres and acres of ringo orchards. The unique geometrical shapes and varying sizes catches ones eyes. Photographer: Leroy Nagasako
