View from the Top

Here are some photos from a short trip I took with friends James and Chiho to Hikone Castle! It's about an hour or so by car from here, but maybe a little longer for safe driver's such as myself. 
This is the horse stable at the base of the mountain. 
 This historic castle has a mascot! It's a white cat with a samurai helmet and sword called Hikonya.




This is a view of Lake Biwa from the top of the mountain. It's the biggest lake in Japan, and with the typhoon winds and rain that day, it resembled an ocean more than it did a lake.
