Greetings from Japan.
Paul Cole and I are paddling rivers in Japan right now. Miwa and Yoichi Muraoka, 2 very good paddlers, are putting us up in their home for 9 days. Just returned from a slalom race on the Tamagawa in the Mitake valley region west of Tokyo. There are many excellent c-boat paddlers in Japan. Before that we paddled the Arakawa near Nagatoro and also did a long run on the Tamagawa. Tomorrow it`s back to the Tama River for a longer section. Then we`re off to the Nagano region to visit Yoshi at Sunday Planning, an outdoor center on Lake Nojiri. Yoshi loves mushrooms. We`ll paddle the Saigawa, do some mushroom picking, and I`m sure visit some hot springs high in the mountains. Honk to wish us luck.
