Interlude: Oshino Village Waterwheel
by otaking on Jul.27, 2009, under Interlude
I stood on the wooden bridge, watching the waterwheel turn in the crystal-clear water. On the other side of the bridge, people took sips of the water from their cupped hands. Other people tried keeping their hands in the water for 60 seconds to see if they could withstand the cold.
I wondered about the history of the waterwheel, how old it was, who took care of it, what it was used for.
For all I knew, it was probably a hydroelectric plant. Go Japan.

the scene looks like a place where lovers would go to or friends will go to for a nice chat ^^

Actually the whole village (which is really just a little village) is worth spending an afternoon exploring.

What a great view. Just looking at the photo makes me want to go there and smell the air. I’ll add that village to my “Places to go to before I die” list.

I never would’ve found this place if it weren’t for our friends Keiichi and Christine, who took the time on a Sunday to show us around

That’s awfully nice of them. You’re lucky to have them as your tour guide.
