This is from Stephane's blog. Too lazy to write, but there are some pix that we took here:)

We're off to Nikko this morning, then leaving from Utsunomiya to Kyoto. There, we plan to stay with a great family friend, Anna.

I hope all is well...

JAPAN II

"Emma, dear, Fujikawa-cho is no longer, remember? It merged with Fuji-shi on Novermber 1 last year".

Japan

Shizuoka prefecture... where I grew up. The town my parents live in, Fujikawa-cho, is not listed there because its so small... but you can click on "Fuji", one of the closest towns to us, and read about some fun facts:)
