I love Japanese history when it comes to the warring state period. My first ever experience of the history was of me picking up a book on the topic from the school library as a kid because "It had funny writing" on the spine. Book was about Oda Nobunaga, and I fell in love with all the detailed pictures of weapons and armour. Next time I'm in Tokyo, I'll be visiting the graves of the 47 Ronin.

Took me by surprise the Naginata class was only imparted by old ladies, but I did some research and it looks like is mainly a woman's art and is studied by women more than men in Japan, is the opposite in Europe. I guess I learned something new thanks to this video, thanks Sharla.

Nice outfit! I like it! :) A castle is usually ready for 1 or 2 months of siege, however there are differences between European castles and Japanese castles. For example, a western castle often had just 4 or 5 occupying it and did NOT have a huge army in it as movies make you believe. It is obviously impossible due to needing the food and space for all those people. In some cases castles could hold out for a lot longer, in rare cases even up to 2 years. Yet Japanese castles are usually having a lot more people in them. Which takes down the food and other resources that you can store inside your walls and thus decrease the time you can stay inside while under siege. This would cause the castle to be all out very quickly and you are forced to open your doors within a month. I seen 4 of them before, the one pointed at, the 9 dots, top left and second from the right.

so that's an idea of what a Ryokan is like? LOVE IT! How much was it? Meals are usually included in the cost right? I've only had Agedashi Tofu once but it was sooo good and just packed with flavor. So rich that little serving filled me right up! I'm happy I'm a pescetarian and don't have to worry about egg and seafood product but if I ever get to visit Japan I do need to figure out how to explain I can't have any other meat/animal type product (broths, sauces with animal base and such). Everything was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

I went MUCH closer to the site than Aizu and I promise the radiation in this part of Fukushima is background and safe (:

The Stationmaster cat is really cute. Can you really see him every day? I say this because I went to see Nitama, the stationmaster cat from Kishi station, but he had two days off, and I was there on one of his days off. Would have been nice if they had said on their homepage when he was there, because then you don't have to disappoint people.
