Monday was another bank holiday in Japan, but even then I only had three very quiet days of work, before my last summer holiday on Friday. We used the time to get out of Tokyo for a bit, and went up to Tochigi prefecture. There we convened with some friends for the first time in months, and tried to climb Mt Iwafune - the mountain used as an explosion site in many live action film and TV productions, and also where we shot some of our wedding video. However, we encountered a slight problem - the heat racked up, and coupled with the distinct lack of active exercise lately, meant we barely got half way up before we all gave it up as a bad idea. But the weekend was by no means a waste. My wife and I stayed with some of our friends who live up north, so that the following day we could go to the New Ginger Museum. No its not a new museum of ginger, it is a museum of new ginger. There is a song we really like based on it, but the museum is one of those places thats so mad its fun. We had a fun time up there, then headed for home. Then finally on Sunday, we went to go and see a new anime film, pottered about the Pokemon centre for a bit, and then had a nice lunch before returning home, properly roasted and very tired, but having fully enjoyed quite a week together.
