World heritage Shirakawa-Go

Visit one of Unesco World Heritage, "Shirakwago"
it's about 200 years old.  Living fire place are placed in middle of house and it will warm up all the house upward, and its soot strengthen house material.  (but may be you get sooty nose hehe)

it was a bit rainy day so Rin were under his Frog umb!

A Sailing ship! ;)

We have visited Toyama area and they have famous Sailing Ship, and were day of expanding all the sail for event.

It was hot day and we all got sun burn.  I have tried to take video of while it sail expanding, but

digital camera batt runout!  I was'nt thinking take that many people and time!!

took 100 crew and about 60min!!

Great looking!

but Rin couldn't keep eye on one place for an hour so he was running around :)

Hope we can visit US soon... look at this small pool :(

Just $25 bucks pool yet Rin jumping in everyday ;)

Viva Ferrari! @Fuji Speedway

Just under Mt. Fuji, yes that famous Mt. Fuji, there is International Fuji Speedway Raceway.  Sunday had small event, that Ferrari owner's driving session was held.  Me? ofcourse I'm not Ferrari owner (yet hehe)

Rin and Yongxia were not excited as I was cuz it was way too hot!

Little adaventure @ Limestone cave

Yes, it's abnormally hot! probably everywhere in globe, here in JP probably hotter and nastier than US.  under such temp and moisture, did'nt want to go outside really... yet Rin's battery is fully charged.  So we decided to visit Limestone cave wherre we can walk and is like refridge!

Cave also had awesome water fall!

Limestone spike takes millions of years to grow, compare with that our life's stress is probably nothing :)
