Another highlight in Chiran is the superb preservation of local Samurai houses. After the Kamikaze museum, Sam and I hitched a taxi to this little neighborhood.
There were about 7 fully preserved Samurai Houses & Gardens. Visitors are welcome to stroll down the street and walk around the gardens.
I looooove Japanese gardens, so this was quite a treat. Each of the gardens is meant to convey some deep abstract meaning.
After our stroll through Chiran's Samurai neighorhood, we catch a taxi back to the train station. We barely miss the train, and so we find ourselve near the ocean with an extra hour before the next train comes.
From the shore, we got a great view of the local exploding volcano. Apparently, it's no big deal to the natives.

Fantastic photos! Looks like a great adventure.
Did you say "the local exploding volcano"? That implies that many communities have a "local exploding volcano." Wow, things really are boring around here.
Wow. Wow. And, wow!
