12.Aug.2010 Lake Towada

Yesterday we went to a place called Lake Towada. I was really excited beause my previous Japanese teacher had been to Lake Towada and told me that it was an amazing place. It didn’t dissappoint at all. There was a great Jinjya (Japanese temple) that we visited. Also there were these crazy watch out for bear signs where the bear looks like it has vampire fangs (see album). Also there was this super secret spot that a friend showed us with a really long ladder that you could climb down to the beach. Goign down was kind of sketchy and I kind of white knuckled my way down. The climb was worth it though and we were rewarded with an amazing view of the lake. After that we walked down the beach and checked out the ferry and some scenery then enjoyed some of the Aomori style apple ice cream.
