It is considered here the most famous castle in Japan and recently underwent restoration. It's also on the list due to the sister city arrangement with Adelaide!<br />I did manage to have a quiet Coopers or 2 for Australia Day!<br />Take care,<br />Jason.jase8auhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582069302006499855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985569382279836889.post-88399739484620946622015-01-27T11:01:16.807+11:002015-01-27T11:01:16.807+11:00Looking forward Jason to Chapter 2.Matsumoto,I am ...Looking forward Jason to Chapter 2.Matsumoto,I am told is a beautiful place and perhaps the most beautiful castle in Japan.Wish I could have visited there!.Kaeru street,reminds me of when I was at Meota Iwa(Wedded Rocks) near Ise.The frog is the town(Futami) symbol.Nearby is Ise-jingu..the famous Shinto Shrine...well worth a visit if you are in Mie -ken.No doubt you celebrated Aust.Day in some Aussie fashion..perhaps a lamb chop on the barbie and a glass of ale.Cheers..noel.Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137421694632736091noreply@blogger.com
