It was cloudy and rain.

I arrived at Sendai at 5:45 AM and washed and make up and got together with a friend, and had tea before taking 8:20 train.

I got to Onagawa around 10 AM and took a ferry to Kinkasan at 11AM. This is the third year for me to come here.

They say if you come to Kinkasan for three years straight you will never be in need of money.

So I am very looking forward to my future.

After checking in and visiting the shrine I climbed up to the top of the mountain in the rain.

I took a bath and had dinner and read four books. 

It was a nice day.

It was fine.

I started the day early.

We took 6:50 ferry to Ayukawa and waited for about two hours and changed another ferry to Kinkazan where is the main purpose of this trip. There was a first snake day festival. 

After that we climbed Kinkazan, and enjoyed the beauitiful sceneries.

It was a nice holiday.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It was cloudy and slightly raining.

I had a big breakfast including Sendai speciality, beef and sweets called Zunda Shiratama (ずんだ白玉), white rice cake with green bean paste.

In the morning we learned about 2011Grest East Japan Earthquake and the first response and measures by three lectures.
The building was two years old and very neat. We could observe the Headquarter of Emergency Measures for Akita Heavy Rain.

We stayed at Sendai where is the capital of Miyagi prefecture in the morning and headed for Morioka where is the capital of Iwate prefecture in the afternoon by Shinkansen.

At lunch I ate eel dish because today is "Doyo no ushi no hi (土用の丑の日)" . the Day of the Ox during the hottest period of the summer.

We had another lecture and headed for Miyako. It's been about six years since I came here last. When we came here soon after the Earthquake, there were no signals available, but I felt the progress in many ways.

We had a nice seafood dinner.
