In my previous post, about fun on our trip to Blumeの丘, I recounted how fun the go-carts were, but that the real fun had only begun. The real fun was a short hill covered with some slippery surface down which you could toboggan.
Toboggans could be rented at $3 for 20 minutes. We rented two for an hour, and had great fun.

Each trip down the short hill took about 10 seconds.

I tried a number of runs where I went down backwards ahead of Anthony, facing him with the camera as he followed. It was bumpy and crazy, so for the most part I just kept my finger on the shutter rapidfire and hoped for the best.....

The End
I have no idea where the camera's focus was in that last shot, but the fun on Anthony's face is nevertheless wonderfully apparent.
We can't wait to go back.
Awesome photos and looks like a darn good time. I wish we had one of those here in the States, and I wish this location was closer to my wife’s home town (Hiroshima).
It looks really funny and scared! I like the first shot. The scary face is very cute!
We will try there!!
