And that’s a wrap

Tomorrow we’re homeward bound. It’s been a great month and we have been to so many places, seen so many things and ate so much good food!

Thank you all for riding along with us. I’ve enjoyed hearing from you and if there are any questions for me – I’ll do my best! Ask away.

Japanese cities make decorative manhole covers that have the symbols of their cities on them. Some are simple cast iron, some are painted and are quite lovely. It’s become quite a thing and people hunt them down quite obsessively. I’m not quite that dedicated, but here are a few that I found along the way.

Hokusai museum, Sumida
Yuzawa – cover for an underground fire hydrant
Tomakomai, Hokkaido, where it gets cold enough to play hockey?
Hakodate, Hokkaido
