Redoing Brick Fireplaces

Soba, bridges, Dams, Onsen and more

For the Kakko-dango We had driven after Ichinoseki.

The next day off ...
... are we there again, this time in order to eat the famous long and thick soba (buckwheat noodles). You had to take a number and wait for quite long, even for a place to sit. But it was worth it. The soba was delicious.


After dinner we went a bit over the place. To a position it has preserved the consequences of the earthquake of 2008. I had then only the aftershocks experienced in July, but even that was already scary and this sight also.


have now resolved the most damage, so this year was in the exchange program will pay visits to the site of Isawa Dam included. If the dam is finished, he will be with 723m length of the longest and the total (volume) of the second largest dam in Japan. We had suggested that we provide them with the water supply for one year the City of Hamburg could. How exactly match our bill, I do not know, but the old and much smaller predecessor dam will be lost in the new reservoir, if the Isawa Dam becomes operational. filled up until the new dam is it will still take about three years, although already used the old dam as basis. The earthquakes have been well recognized, despite the damage suffered as a good and passed the test.


Even after two years of work available again, the access road to the area around Sukawa. Here in the mountains, is available with an amazing natural onsen with outdoor seating overlooking the mountains and orderly sulfur smell, on the other hand this impressive gorge (Oyasu-kyo), lives in the walls of the devil. It roars, steam injected and heated. The plants then take to a very unnatural translucent green and growing like in the jungle. But also climbing the stairs was worth.
