Above, a wonderful dragon at a temple along the Oirase Gorge. Surely, one of the most beautful areas of Japan! A river drains in a series of waterfalls from Lake Towada . . . a double caldera lake high in the mountains of northern Honshu.

And below that a view of one of the two lesser “Fujis” of the north.

We are headed home with some sadness at leaving such a beautiful country . . . and all our new friends behind.

More later on the great kids and staff of the DODEA schools.
