Golden Week

During the Golden Week national holidays, our friends, the Haginos, took us to see a kite festival. The kites were in the shape of Koi carp. There were also real Koi carp swimming in small ponds alongside the towns footpath. The kite festival was on Childrens Day.  We also visited a park with squirrels, ponds & some tasty noodles stalls.  After a big day we visited an Onsen (natural hot spring) complex and had a soak.
