Northern Snow《Winter》 { Tohoku - 東北 } ～Tokyo Shiroishi Sendai Yamagata Zao Yamadera Ginzan OnsenNyuto Onsen Morioka Koiwai Aoomori Towada Hirosaki Kouriyama Inawashiro Ouchijuku Tsuruga Kitakata Fukushima ～

Since the disastrous event of the 311 Earthquake, the Northern Snow Prefecture of Japan seems to be cursed and people fled away from the nearby towns and cities.


Personally, I do not see this as a problem at all, as I guess the amount of radiation from computer and cell phone is good enough to f*ck up my health already... So well, radiation doesn't affect my determination in going to the Tohoku region.


Transportation in the Tohoku region is not necessarily convenient at all. Luckily, I got someone who can drive the car to come along with me~ Although he has no experience in driving car in snow condition, but well, the snow road is relatively easy to run on. It is not necessarily to get on the snow chains for the tires, as the snow tires are good enough to run the highways and road around the city and even the rural side of the region.
