Here we are, heading up to the famous castle of AizuWakamatsu.  That’s the moat.  Any vicious animals guarding the castle?

One Samurai Snake on duty.

My niece was born in the year of the snake.

Son, husband and niece.  They liked seeing the snake.  It’s like when you go to the White House but don’t bother trying to see the president because you are just so happy to see the squirrels on the White House lawn.

Niece, Son, Husband

Okay, off we go.  What we came for!!!!!  The CASTLE OF AIZUWAKAMATSU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
