All the staff from Zenrinkan had our annual day trip today. We all met at Hachimangu shrine and were lead around a selection of local temples and places of interest by Ms Murai. We learnt many interesting facts and saw some little hidden away places, before filling up our water bottles at a local spring.
After eating lunch at Stella Monte, we took a tour of the local sake factory and learnt about how they hand make some of Iwate's famous alcohol. Sadly the factory is only in business over the winter months, but still the smell of fermenting rice and the sight of the huge tanks and bottling machines was a wonderful experience.
