On Monday many events of the Autumn Festival were cancelled because of rain. Floats were not taken ot of their storehouses and, to our, the evening parade was also cancelled. On our last day however, the sun was shining in the morning so we walked from our hotel to old town to see what was happening. At it turned out, it was a great choice. We were able to see one of the floats being pulled through the town and also saw dancers and other sights that made it worth the walk.
We visited the morning market where several art works were on display including one that Anna Lee could not resist. Rather than eat breakfast at the hotel, we bought street food including some cake shaped fish that had chocolate in the center. How could that be bad.
At 11:30 we boarded the train for Tokyo and, ultimately the airport for our long flight home. The end of a great trip.
