On Friday, I decided to cycle to the feudal village called Ouchi Juku which falls into the boundary of Shimogo Town. Ouchi Juku can be extremely busy at times, but today, it was relatively quiet. I've only visited Ouchi Juku about 6 times during my 3 year stay in Shimogo, usually when showing first time visitors around Shimogo. In February, Ouchi Juku holds an annual 2 day snow festival.The shops along the main street sell a selection of local crafts and delicacies. I have managed to train myself to be able to eat most local delicacies but have so far been unable to try the grasshoppers on sale. Maybe next year.........

YUK, Grasshopers are a leap to far!!! Mum
That song was already a hit for Buddy Holly. And the Crickets. Nyaahhhhh ha ha ha ha ha.
Kane, is that the Samuri village that we went to? They do some dodgy food there. My fermented potato juice cake in peanut sauce was nearly as disgusting as the grasshoppers. Nick
That's the place. The Samurai had a hard life - get involved in lots of massacres with sharp swords and then home for a feast of grasshoppers and other assorted crap they can find lying about. Those were the days.
