This page begins with February 21st as we leave the Minshuku at Aizu-Yokota and continues through the end of that trip - which was the final adventure of the month. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

Begin February 21st
  On February 21st we got up and it was a sunny day! The first shot in this row was taken out of the window of the Minshuku where we stayed overnight - the Tadami River. The 2nd shot is a series of "fish prints" of some kind of fish. Kazuya told me the name but I forgot. He also said that each print had a different person's name on it - so apparently these fish were caught by guests at the Minshuku during the summer months. The 3rd shot is back at Aizu Yokota Station as we waited for our train to arrive to take us to Koide in Niigata Prefecture.

  And ... here comes our train. The 2nd and 3rd shots are snow scenery shots taken from the window of the train as we traveled to Koide.

  Here are 3 more snow scenery shots taken from the train. That is the Tadami River - and we are riding on the Tadami Line train. This train followed the Tadami River pretty much the whole way.

  And here are the final 2 snow shots. After we arrived at Koide there was nothing worth talking about. We took trains bound for home. We arrived in Koide at 10:13 AM and we were sitting at home in our living room less than 3 hours later. It was amazing - we rode the Shinkansen from Urawa and at Urawa there was still lots of snow. One stop later - on the way to Tokyo - there was not even a hint of snow on the ground. It changes that fast as you cross the mountains that block the snow from coming south.
