To get off our island of Japan, Ron and I took a 2 1/2 hour ferry to the smaller island of Sado. It was a bit empty when we were there, but it could be the fact that we traveled on a work day (most people didn't get the holiday that we did, LuckY!) We then took a two hour bus to Oga, the other side of the island to see their wash boat tubs, たらい舟. It was a cute ride, Ron and I got to even try steering it, with not much success. We then made our way back, stopping at Sawata to try their sushi, and then back to our drop off point of Ryotsu. All in all 9 hours of travel on this teeny island, but the wash boats and the relaxing atmosphere of the island, made it a restful part of our busy trip. This island truly has not been touch by the modernity of Japan, which was refreshing to see.
