The first station of the working holiday: Ueda. Seen here from a few meters higher on Mt.Taro. During clear weather, a tiny Mt.Fuji is supposed to be visible in the distance.

Seeing beatiful light scattering through fog while walking down Mt.Taro.

Ueda historical street at night.

A very well camouflaged rusty bicycle near the dormitory.

Bicycle tour along and across the Chikuma river. The crossing the bridge feels like passing a hundred gates.

Common living unit in Japan: Small apartment complexes.

Sleepy cat sitting on a wall in a residental area of Ueda. There is going to be a bunch more cat pictures.

Cycling a snowy mountain pass on the way between Ueda and Omachi, passing the Higashijo dam.

It me. Hey.
