Mount Shosha

28th January 2007

Today we went to Mount Shosha which is where The Last Samuri was filmed. It is such a beautiful mountain. To get to the top you have to take a cable car. You get there within 5 minutes. The view was very picturesque. There were lots of different little shrines and statues to look at along the way. There was a bell that you were allowed to dong so of course I wanted to have a turn. It made a pretty loud ‘DONG’. We just took our time going around the mountain looking at all the beautiful things on it and taking a billion photos. We actually didn’t get around to do the whole mountain as we ran out of time so it is definitely a place that we will be going back to, to have another look at. Next time we will probably take a picnic lunch with us.
