• We startet today in the morning with the Shojo-Ji temple.
  Unfortunately it was closed. But we could see the buildings from outside which I really liked!
• After that we visited the Tachiki-Kennon. The 8,40 m (?) high statue is just really impressive!
  Wonderful and beautiful. Having seen this promises me to die softly and happy which you call: ころり (?)
• Then we visited an old monks trainings camp.
  I have to ask the name again because I forgot this. (uups)
  It was kond of fun to hear a cow mooing.
  Next to this camp lives seemingly a farmer who has at least one cow.
  I also saw this. And this cow seemed to be very happy. Really it looks!
• Next stopwas the Enichi-Ji. We got a special guided tour to a re-build temple.
  It was a little bit strange to see a brand-new temple.
  And… It was red, white and the roof made of light-colored wood looked like gold.
  Very strong colors which were a little bit strange to see in such natural enviroment.
  But nevertheless beautiful.
• It was very cold today and it was already 13:00.
  So we went to a restaurant to eat Denkgoku (?)
  This is definitly not the correct name. So I have to ask again…
• With a full stomache and warmed up we continued our tour with a next highlight: the Tsurugajo Castle.
  Finally I saw it! Very nice and wonderful! I even tried out a Komino. Wow. I like that 😉
  And the view from top of the castle! Wow wow!!!!
  I enjoyed this to the full! I have to go there again when weather is gonna be better.
  I can spend hours just to enjoy this amazing view! — Oh… The Cherry Blossom have already bud 🙂
• Our last stop of the historical tour was Fukushima Museum where we had some interview.
  Unfortunately because of very little time there was no chance to visit the Museum itself.
  But this will be done another day. For sure.
• The we went to the office and had some coffee break and Yamadera-san presented some work of Eyes, Japan.
• The day ended with a very nice dinner at a traditional Japanese Restaurant.
  とても　おいしかった。

In the end I want to thank Yamadera-san for this very informative, interesting and wonderful historical tour through Aizu.
I wouldn’t have done such tour on my own. And I want to thank you for introducing me such very nice and kindly people!
どうも　ありがとう　ございました。

Have a nice weekend and see you next week!
