Toyoda Family's House

I went with Nancy to the famous Toyoda family's house in Toyota, Aichi. It turns out the father of the famous car manufacturer was into textiles and that's how they built their fortune before cars. I would recommend checking this place out if you're in Aichi.

Ueta Station

Man, Shimon lives in the middle of nowhere. I had to walk about 2 miles to get to the local train station in order to get back into town. This was no easy task considering I was still coughing up blood (which was due to the pneumonia that I didn't know I had at the time). I did enjoy the neighborhood though. It was very suburban.

Takeshima

Takeshima is a town in Aichi that used to be a very hot tourist city, but now what remains are old buildings that have seen the hardships of a fragile economy. Anyway, took a trip here with Shimon and the two new replacement Native English Teachers (Nancy & Teri). We had a blast visiting the little Shrine Island.
