joren waterfall (& all the wasabi you can eat)
by mikka
After our second trip to Nijin no Sato, we stopped by Joren Waterfall, which has to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in Japan.
The fresh water from the waterfall is ideal for wasabi plants!
Wasabi-shack.
Not far from Joren Waterfall is the Amagi Tunnel, a narrow, drafty 100-year-old tunnel made famous by ghosts and a pop song (I think?). While we saw no ghosts, we did cross paths with a group of Japanese tourists who cheerfully broke into the song, their voices echoing with their footsteps throughout the length of the tunnel.
At any rate, we are off to Shimoda again this weekend, as we have Monday off (!!), so more later!
