Tomonoura, and My First Tanuki Encounter!
Today's trip was to Tomonoura, a little fishing village just a few bus stops away from our apartment. It's the place that inspired the Miyazaki film Ponyo! I should probably write about the sights and sounds of Tomonoura, all of which were amazingly beautiful. Instead, I am most excited to announce that I saw a real live tanuki in person for the first time ever! It let me get up pretty close too!

I heard that tanukis are also called Raccoon Dogs and that a lot of "faux fur" jackets are actually made out of tanuki hair. Something like that anyways.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's all true.
