FUKUOKA, JAPAN--Volcano and Castle







Today was a very fun day that started at about 9:45am when Yuko's uncle came to pick us up to go on a road trip for the day!!! We went to Mt. Aso, which is the largest Volcano in the world and only 90 days out of the year, they allow you to actually go and get close to the volcano, which was smoking today, but after waiting for a little while, the security allowed us to go in to view it up close...After we went to Mt. Aso, we went to see a very beautiful castle in Kumamoto, which is a little outside of Fukuoka or as Yuko's brother, Osamu, calls it, it's in the "prefixture" of Fukuoka!!! Then we drove back to Yuko's house which is about one hour from the castle!!! Tomorrow we are off to see a temple and then on Tuesday to the onsen until Wednesday when we will come back to Yuko's house in Fukuoka to spend my last night in Japan!!!
