Japan Daigo

This weekend I did a short trip to 大子 (Daigo) in Ibaraki prefecture. I went to see 袋田の滝 (Fukuroda waterfalls), ate おやき, 茶そば (green tea soba) at 奥久慈茶の里公園 (Okukuji cha-no-sato park), and also soft ice cream from 里美牧場 (Satomi farm) on the way.

Here are some photos from the trip.

Mmmmm..that's alot of inaka goodness. I need to get out of Tokyo for the weekend too. Haven't been in a while. Did you drive or take the train?

You're lucky to go out of Tokyo more often than I get to, since you have your roadster! :) I went by train, then by car (I didn't drive though) and got back by bus.

Picture #8 is beautiful, the colors, the small bridge. When we think Japan we only think big cities, there’s so much to see.

Thanks! :) Yes you're right! I need to get out of Tokyo more often.
