Last weekend we took the local train into Towada. Towada is a nearby town that for much less money and much less time we could have just driven to, but we were on the hunt for some local culture!
The train was fun. 27 minute ride with nine stops. Train was full of high school kids and old people. We saw some nice flowers and some Japanese horses (just for Grace!).
In Towada we shopped at a few local shops. They have a canal running thru the middle of this area. Our favorite signs were the Danger signs posted along the canal. Ka-tsu-pa is a folklore "water monster" that the Japanese use to warn their kids. Too funny! I had actually heard of him when Gracie and I went to the Komaki Onsen and hotel. Much like our "Boogie Man", Ka-tsu-pa will get you if you don't stay out of the water!
It is our new favorite sign!
Love,
