Akita Castle Ruins

#cherryblossom2024 A good memory of the kindness of strangers. Visited and asked for information in English man looked in cupboards and drawers but couldn't find any. I set off to look around it's a long way out of Akita and an Englishman is not an everyday occurrence. A few minutes later a lady who was as old as Moses came with a leaflet and showed me around we communicated with mimes and gestures she had seen me at the entrance and had gone across the road to the museum and got the leaflet. After showing me around the castle sight she showed me the way to the museum and accompanied me around that. She showed me the bus stop and when the bus came she told the bus driver where I was going, which I had written down in Japanese and English, she saw me safely on my way waving until the bus was out of sight.
