It's about 6 o'clock And I am just getting ready to go down and have breakfast I don't know if I can eat this early I usually don't have breakfast but pretty sure they've prepared something fancy for me so I'm going to try and eat it today we are going to... what are we doing first? i can't remember but there is a few things we are doing we are going to paint those little red cow things the mascot of fukushima and we are going to look at these miniature sculptures i think the carver is going to be there as well so maybe we'll get to watch him do it and... what else are we doing today? for dessert we get to have those buns again that I had on the train so... yes I'm really looking forward to those, those are freaking delicious ok so im going to go have breakfast now bring you guys with me and show it to you I can't believe it's still snowing here that's so weird because Tokyo's so hot you could wear a t-shirt now so we are in the forest right now and a photographer is going to show us the best place to take pictures of the Tarami line train so this is a secret spot well it's not so secret anymore but um.. most people there's a view spot where most people take photos from but he specialised in taking photos of the train and hes found a better spot so he's going to show it to us so behind us in the distance you can see the bridge over there maybe thats normally where people take photos but if you walk through the forest like we did you can get a super awesome view of the train line the train will come across this bridge here this is like the famous setting that you see in photographs and postcards and calanders and stuff so we got a really nice angle from here It's really pretty scenery but we only get one shot to take photos of the train so hopefully my timing is good I don't really have a good photography camera I just use this vlogging camera so I'm just going to try take some with my cellphone for instagram or something apparently it doesn't make a sound before it arrives so you kind of just got to be prepared for it it should be on time though the weather is nice so there shouldn't be any reason for it to be late I'm going to attempt to take a picture with my phone while I'm filming this with my camera so this will be interesting here it comes that was really cute the train is so short it's only 2 cars so it looks like a little toy from here but we had an awesome view of it and I got a couple pictures I think they are nice I'll put them on instagram so go check them out but yeah that was really cool what a neat spot so I don't really know how to explain how to get here but if you see the bridge in the background that's where people normally take it from if you park on the road just um a little before the bridge then walk through the forest then you might be able to find this spot I wish it was easier to explain but it's kind of like a hidden spot there's not a path or anything we stopped to get some coffee at a souveneir shop on the side of the road they're called meechino ekki or road stations and you can always find like souvenirs of that city and most of the time they have food to eat and coffee and drinks so I'm just looking around at the souveniers Fukushima is known for peaches so there's lots of like peach flavoured stuff oh these are sakura even better oh these look so good it's so big it moves around apparently this is the daughter and there's a whole family of them that's awesome the mom is in like another station she is bigger oh cute theres like hats and stuff this is what I'm going to be painting later and I got to practise so this is what the face looks like remember that so we came to see the guy that makes the really tiny sculptures but his shop was closed today so we couldn't go that's too bad but instead we are going to go eat manju right away so can't complain pretty excited oh my god I can see the sign I bet it's that place I forgot if I mentioned it before but they're made out of millet that's the word I was looking for they're millet manju this is the shop here ahh I'm so excited apparently this shop is really famous so if you want good awo manju come find this shop ooh I can see them in the window fresh ones sakura flavour I'm going to try the sakura one because they're special for spring they only make them during spring I could eat like 3 of these easily and these are the regular ones so you can get these ones all year round still warm that's so good this is freaking awesome this is like I think this is like one the best manju I've ever had I really like the millet It's really nice It gives it a nice texture too kind of like oatmeal so it's like a little bit gritty chunky that doesn't really sound appetising but like in a good way on the way back to the car we passed the ahh sculpture place and it was open so we're inside they're so small that I need my glasses to look at them OK so it's completely impossible to see with my camera but this is a sesame seed and the reddish part that you can see there is actually a little tiny statue that is small enough to fit inside a sesame seed and if you look at it up close there's a photo of it up close in a magazine I'll show it to you so that's what it looks like that's insane oh my god even with like a really big magnifying glass it's hard to see the detail that's an amazing picture I'm going to paint my akabeko now beko is tohoku slang for cow so this is a red cow It's the symbol of Fukushima so I can paint it like the traditional one which looks like this if I want but I don't know I don't know if I should do that or make something different I'll think about it I'm going to like google some pictures then decide I decided to make mine a maneki beko because I like cats so this is how it turned out It's not exactly red anymore which is kind of weird but I like it I think it's cute That was the last ah spot in our trip so now we're headed home but I'm kind of sad it was really nice I had such a great time and we're going to stop at the meechino ekki the um the like stations on the side of the road so that I can get stamps for my new stamp book I think I mentioned this in a video before but A while ago when I was living in Iwadey prefecture I got one of these and i visited all the stations in Tohoku to get a stamp because I'm in Fukushima now I will get some stamps for my book I got one already and I'm going to get one more on the way home so tada It's going to take forever It's probably going to take a few years to fill this up again but everytime I go on a road trip I'll bring this along and fill it up with stamps It's really fun yay I got my stamp theres only 146 stations 144 more to go that's not too bad
