Another Saturday, another adventure...this one was relatively short and sweet, but still something new and beautiful. We took a little drive to a waterfall near Aomori, called 不動滝 or Fudodaki. It's about 58 km (36 mi) from Misawa and took about 90 minutes to get there. It's a very peaceful little place.

| Just taking in the scenery. Rice fields. |
 |
| There's a small building to change in if you're brave enough to get in the water. See pictures below for inside of building. I have no idea if those are community towels or if regulars just leave them. |
 |
| Straw sandals for waterfall climbing. |
 |
| The best I could do without a tripod on this shot. He liked it anyway! |
 |
| Water straight from the mountain snow melt...freezing... no way I was getting more than my feet wet! |
Across from the waterfall there was a path and a torii gate so we continued our adventure, this place was really cool. Very secluded, quiet, peaceful and mostly untouched.
 |
| Each step had a number and many had other designs too. |
 |
| Not sure what this was/is used for... |
 |
| So serene... |
 |
| #84 with moons, #85 with the sun. |
I wasn't quite ready to go home so we kept driving through a few fishing villages that I always find interesting.
 |
| Piles upon piles of huge plastic fishing floats. |
 |
| Driving in Japan...always on the lookout for people in the road! |
