After dropping off Kunino and Shizuka at the Train Station, Ron and I drove directly north, 100 kilometers to Aizu Wakamatsu, a town with a fully reconstructed castle. There aren't many in Japan. Morioka had a castle, but after if was destroyed by the war, I guess no one wanted to rebuild it. This is the case for most castles. Sometimes you'll find the ruins of a castle, but a real castle (even reconstructed) is nicer than authentic rubble. So we took a small break looking at their museum and the different parts of the castle. Then we drove 115 kilometers to Nigata City, ate their coastal sushi, and slept a wonderful sleep.
