The Big Budda



For the New Year we decided to do something very Japanese and go and visit a shrine. We went to the Big Budda it's about 75 minutes drive from where we live close to Aomori. It was a good day to go as there where lots of people around and the Monks where out saying their prayers to welcome in the new year. There was also a lot of snow on the ground making it a little hard to get around but a little more picturesque.

What a neat way to bring in the New Year. We stayed home, and I think we were asleep before 11. Oh well!
