This past long weekend some of my adult class members and I went to Inawashiro and went skiing!! We stayed at a quiant, Japanese style inn. It was run by an older man and his wife. The food was very traditional and delicious. While we ate the owner made buckwheat (soba) noodles in front of us and we ate them as the last course! It was a fantastic weekend even though after trying to speak Japanese for 2 full days straight I was exhausted!
