Living Out Of A Suitcase
A day at Kurikoma-San
We decided not to go hiking this weekend due to the earthquake, and the dangers of continued earthquakes / aftershocks / landslides. Helicopters continue to search the area for missing people and other dangers. Last night we had another earthquake. It was only 5.1M, but again it originated in the same area where the above photos were taken. Maybe we’ll go hiking somewhere south next weekend instead!

Ferris wheels are still quite popular in Japan. This one is near the newly constructed Mitsui Outlet Mall near the Kirin Beer factory.

We’ve been meaning to make it up to the zoo since last year, even before we moved to Sendai. It’s pretty good considering its small size, with a variety of birds, reptiles, and animals from all around the world. The primates were particularly interesting; we got to feed some of them, and witnessed [...]

Here’s the next installment of “The Remains of 2008″. From what I can tell I still have 7 more slideshows from last year to upload. Today finds us looking back on our aborted attempt to investigate the earthquake-damaged Mt. Kurikoma region. Like I mentioned before, we were on the top of Mt. [...]

Driving back from Sendai last weekend we passed by one of the many construction sites in the city. Usually they’re for apartment buildings or pachinko parlours, but the big sign I saw immediately caught my eye. This was going to be a Round 1. It’s gonna be right next to Nigatake Station, which is [...]

Two days ago Kyoko and I took the drive west out to Onikobe, an area near the Akita/Yamagata/Miyagi border. Probably known best for its terrible ski hill, Onikobe is also home to many hot springs (onsen). While nearby Naruko Onsen gets most of the hype, being accessible by train and a popular place to view [...]

About a 40 minute drive from my town, Mt. Yakurai (Yakurai-San) lies close to the border of Miyagi & Yamagata Prefectures. On one side there are 706 steps up to the top (I counted them, it’s true!), and down the other side is a standard and sometimes treacherous trail. Close by is a [...]
