The local fish store was grilling up some Saba Shioyaki for all the costomers around town..  Saba Shioyaki is grilled Mackerel with salt.  Simple, classic, and delicious.

  Lots of talent in a town called Ao in Aridagawa Wakayama.  Onece a year every one cames together for a night of fun and entertainment!

Today I got to go to the Wakayama Magical Music Tour at Wakayama Castle.  This event is an annual event that brings every one together to injoy music in the heart of Wakayama.  There was music of  every genre playing at the many stages throughout Wakayama Castle Park.  I had a great time and I would recomend this event to everyone.  Lots of local music to get your Wakayama buzz on!

The view from the train ride to Aridagawa.  Beautiful seaside green.
