Niigata 03/02/08


Well it is my last day here I'm sitting around waiting for my train. I was off yesterday from koi anyway instead I went to a Shinto Temple near the sea port of Teradomari. Here are a few pictures plus one from my hotel room.
I have seen a lot of temples on my trips to Japan and this one was interesting and also the largest in the Nagaoka are.
These girls are tying their hopes and prayers onto this simulated tree in hopes they will come true.

Niigata 03/01/08


These workers are clearing some snow from the roadway in Yomagihira.
There is still a lot of snow everywhere. This lady is moving it from her garden.
A few koi from Yozimon.
