In the meantime, the rainy season (Tsuyu) has already started in Tokyo,
but to my mind it doesn't rain any more frequently than in Hokkaido - just a little warmer

Lotus-fields as far as the eye can see... the roots are very popular and palatable as vegetables

Before my home-flight, I have still have time to visit friends and make a trip to Nikko...
Here I am in a workshop for Shishi-masks that play an important role in festivals

Nikko, a city approximately 140 km from Tokyo lies in the mountains
and is a popular tourist destination with many historic buildings, temples and shrines
