It was nice getting to see them up close too, they set up a display of them as a permanent statue about half-way between the station and the castle on the main drag. They're awesome. Raina: It is exactly like Spirited Away. Polished wood floors, big wooden beams, the whole 9 yards. It's awesome. Dom: All I want to do is be in Japan right now. Andrew too. Kat: The castle was absolute murder on me. I am not a small person, and it was like 85+ degrees the whole time. I just didn't want to come off like a wus in the post :) But yeah, tiny little stairs, short little roofs, slippery floors? I am pretty proud that I made it all the way up! Congrats to you as well. Heh. James: They’re pretty cool eh?

Man, things have changed! You didn't tell people about the f-ing stairs in the castle! They're more like ladders than stairs, and they've been worn so smooth by centuries of feet walking on them; you have to take off your shoes to walk around the castle. Try going down those ladders, er, stairs, in slippery stockinged feet and being pregnant! I had shin-splints for the next several days. But the castle was worth it.
