It was raining heavily all day long. 





We went to a Chinese Restaurant which we like for lunch. 




Above - Chikako san ate the soup. 
Below -  I ate spicy tofu.  





After that, we walked back to the mansion and got Demi-chan
and drove down to the Mazda Dealership.
It has a re-opening after being re-newed. 
We saw Akiba-san. 


We were presented with a promotional bottle of red wine. 


We drank coffee there. 


Good Luck Fukushima Mazda ~ a nice experience.

Friday TAKI - waterfall.

Friday 

15th August, 2014

We went driving to see a waterfall 
near Lake Inawashiro. 











 Demi-chan waiting patiently. 












The tree enveloped the rock - really amazing. 




Waterfall for men

and


waterfall for women. 






A large log stuck on the face of the womens'  waterfall. 















Tombo / Dragonfly perched on Demi-chan's mirror. 





We ate soba at a shop near Lake Inawashiro. 







My lunch - left photo. 






Chikako san's lunch - below photo. 









An interesting building and a great garden. 



We then went hiking for a second TAKI / waterfall. 








It was a difficult 3 km hike through the forest. 







There was a finale of a 300 metre descent down this very dangerous pathway. 

We chose not to proceed any further. 





I didn't see any bears, unfortunately.
