Our travels through Japan took
us sightseeing at the The Hakuhojo White Phoenix Castle, often
referred to as the "ninja castle" in Iga-Ueno City,
Mie Prefecture. To the left are some of the gang and to the right
and below some views of the castle. |

The town thrives on a ninja theme
and you can see "plays" featurning pink-gi-clad young
women all day long. The photo to the left was scanned from an
Iga-Ueno shopping bag I brought home with me. To the right is
calligraphy from, I *think*, the White Phoenix castle though
it might be from a shrine or temple in the town. I'm trying to
get it identified. My notes on it just said "Iga" which
didn't tell me much more than the town. |
