Akita/Iwate: Last Day!

The last day of the road trip, we went to one last shrine (Takkoku no Iwaya Cave Temple), Gembikei Gorge,  and a beautiful spa (of which I have no photos, because we were essentially in the Onsen the entire time– no photos there!) before taking the long bus ride home.

Gembikei Gorge:

In the above photo, this house is where they would make dumplings, and then send them by a zip line-type thing from across the river and over to us. It was so cool!

Overall, the trip was a fantastic experience and it was very nice to get out of the big city for a while.
