That Night, White-Water Rafting & Going Home

After we Canyoned... we got all dressed and headed out on the little town.
There was not much to see or do, other than the river, and a small main street.
We were dropped off, and walked most of the way.
It was a beautiful riverside walk.
We ended up eating at a small, but new place... with no English. We had fun with it, and ended up eating REALLY well.

After the Dinner, we headed back to the lodge for a little 70~80's DISCO night.
Nope... not gonna post many pic's from that Crazy Night.

slideshow of that night ---> here<--- (8 pictures)



The next day we all woke up, hung over or not... and got ready for our White Water Rafting trip. Lets just say, it's a Hang-over cure!!! :) SOOOooo fun!
We ran the most beautiful part of the course, our guide told us.
She said... that "run" is usually only open for a few times a year... and we were lucky.
It was beyond words!!!

Slide show of WWRafting HERE<----



After WWRafting we got Cleaned up, Packed up and Headed back to the Train Station. Before we left Minakami for good, we stopped for a bite to eat.
It was a cute little outdoor place, So Quaint... So Delish!
We enjoyed a few more moments, and then started our journey home.
We took the Local JR all the way home.
It was Long, but worth it in the end.
For some reason, our tickets did not work correctly upon Exit at JR Zushi, and we were told to "dozo"... or "go ahead".... NO WAY!!!!
That was a Free (or close to it).. from Minakami ~ Zushi!!! about a 40$ Value! PER Person.
We were Blessed!!!

I am going to add a Few Post's to our 'Trip to Canyons'.

It would be a LONG slide show if i did it all at once.

Let me set the stage and say this was a Girls Weekend!! We had such a fun time, i cant wait to go again!!! We left EARLY Saturday morning and Returned LATE Sunday night. We took the Local JR lines and the Shinkansen... one way 6400Yen or about 64$. It was a 3~4 hour trip... SO worth it!!!

Canyon's Website is located HERE<--- if you wanna check it out for yourself.

We did the 1/2 day Canyoning and 1/2 day Rafting AND Stayed at thier "lodge"(VERY "homey and OLD Japanese style!) and one meal was included for 18,000Yen or 180$.

Both were SO FUN!!

The hardest part was getting on the wet suit (for any size, ~ as we saw a TINY Japanese lady having such a hard time as well...) LOL. We ALL Laughed together.

It was a GREAT multicultural experience! From American's to Japanese to New Zealnader's!
