Today we took a trip into the mountains and through the Kurobe Gorge, which according to the brochure is “Japan’s Largest V-Shaped Gorge.” We first went to Unazuki (a town in the mountains with hot springs that used to be its own city, but was absorbed into Kurobe a few years ago), and from there we took an hour-and-a-half long open-air train ride through the gorge. We were blessed with fantastic weather, and with the leaves changing colors now it was a beautiful sight to see. The most entertaining part of the day, though, were the various signs around with very odd English translations. Enjoy!

About Me
My name is Lawrence Denes.After spending 5 years studying Japanese language, culture, literature, and history in St. Louis and Kyoto, I now live in Japan, in a town that most Japanese people have never even heard of, lost amid the rice fields and vending machines.
