At the front entrance, there was space to take off your shoes and slip into the little covered sandals that were provided for us.
This was a very long, but very fun day. We started with a trip up to the Oirase Gorge to see some of the amazing waterfalls there.
Then we took a boat ride across Lake Towada.
Lunch was another adventure. Here is Karly eating an entire fish in one bite!
After lunch we headed to Aomori City for the Nebuta Festival, one of the largest festivals in Japan. Now we just thought we were going to WATCH the festival. Little did we know we were going to be IN the festival! We were dressed in traditional costumes and actually walked in the parade!
Weren't we gorgeous?
The floats in the parade were amazing! They were all lit up from the inside, which made for a very dramatic effect in the dark!
