Autumn Scenes @ Iwate Prefecture: Oct 31- Nov. 1, 2015

During my visit to the places to see how reconstruction efforts are being made, I enjoyed the autumn scenes of Iwate Prefecture.

It was the season of autumn color. The mountains changed partially to red and partially to yellow.

It was nice days and the sea was blue.

At Sanriku Station of Sanriku Tetsudo railway, they dried persimmons. 

People wrote their wishes in on the scallop shells and left them at Koishihama station.

They run a steam locomotive train in the weekend. My tourists bus ran side by side with the SL train. It was an exciting experience.

There is a shopping place with old-fashioned atmosphere in Machiya-Monogatari facility in Morioka City. The goods produced by Save Iwate and other NGOs engaged in the reconstruction works are sold there. I tasted walnut-flavored soft cream in the store.
