Well, I feel like I am actually going now. Last night I got an e-mail from Nova with all of our accomadation information. Rob and I had initially requested Morioka (where I did exchange before) and Sendai (near Morioka) but we got a city called Hachinohe! It is in the Aomori prefecture, which is the Northern most province on Honshou. The city has a population of about 250,000. I am also really excited because Aomori has a low population and loads of beautiful scenery. As well, I am only 1 hour away from my friends and family in Morioka!! I will be able to see them on my days off and have that support there.
We are leaving the 18th at 7AM and arrive in Toyko on the 18th at 2PM. We are spending a night in Tokyo right in the downtown core and I plan on resting loads on the plane to take full advantage of our night there!
Then on the 20th we take a Shinkansen (bullet train) to Hachinohe. It is about 3 1/2 hours away but that is over a thousand kilometers from Tokyo!!
Anyway, that is all the news I have for now! I will keep you posted!
Cheers,
Erin
