Well the trip is going well we have been to a few amazing places which I'll talk about more another time but just a quick run down for now.
First place we went to was an old samurai town with a lot of the old houses still in original condition and one that we went through still had direct descendants living in it, it was around 200 years old and had the original samurai stuff like weapons, clothing, tools and everyday kitchen stuff.
Next was Toya which was the site of several volcanic eruptions which badly damaged the town and a lot of the surrounding area. Its last eruption was in 2000 everybody was evacuated before it did its worst which you can see till this day. The buildings are still there about 6 feet deep in mud and on the other side where the volcano has actually changed the shape of the hillside one side of the buildings have been forced up about 1-2 m (will upload some pictures when i get a chance). We also looked at a school which was just destroyed its still there but there are holes in it everywhere from the flying boulders and rocks. There was a bus there which had holes in the roof and in the floor and when you look under it there is the boulder, its just amazing to see the damaged caused.
Will post some pics and another update in about 4 days .
