Vicky visits Japan

The steps up to Ojima apparently this island is haunted, not sure why though.


An old school friend came out to Japan to visit me last weekend, we packed a lot in the 5 days she was here. I showed her the wonderful sights of Fukui and Sabae then at the weekend we headed up to Nigata Prefecture to a ski area called Naeba for some spring time boarding. The area was pretty big and the snow was slushy it was still wonderful to be on the board. The last run down was quite sad because that was the last day of snowboarding in Japan for the time being.

Vicky arrived just intime to see the beautiful sakura.

This is a view from the island of Tojimba which is the number one rock spot to go to in Fukui, apparently. Personally I am not so sure.

Vicky braces herself against the strong winds on Oshima Island.
