Naoko and I went for a drive today, we had no clear idea where we wanted to go but we figured we’d head off in the direction of Kazo, in the northeastern part of our prefecture (Saitama). I had heard from a student of mine a while back that Kazo was famous for its udon, a noodle native to Japan made from wheat flour. Seemed a good enough reason to head that way, and I brought the cameras in tow. Unfortunately, we were a bit sidetracked by a huge 100-yen shop we came upon in Washinomiya (which I may post about later), and so photo ops were scarce, but I managed to shoot a few and we did make it to Kazo in the end, and had some very delicious udon for dinner at a restaurant that first opened way back in the Edo era some 200-plus years ago.

nice photos. luv your site.
I’m wonderding if you have any suggestions on photo storage sites? I’ll be traveling to Japan soon and would like to store my pictures on a storage site (for friends/family)without having to create a personal website.
thx for the help.
