Today we visited the Gunma Prefectual Museum of History which is in Gunma-no-mori Park (which means Gunma Forest) about 10 minutes drive from the Chicken Coop (which is what I now call my apartment).

The museum was really good - they had little pages you could get in each gallery that had an English explanation of what was there. They had it set out in chronological order and concentrated mainly on the history of Gunma so it was pretty interesting.

After the museum we wandered around the park in the sun admiring the huge trees and watching all the little kids riding their bikes and playing badminton (which is big in Japan).


The park was really beautiful and it was such a lovely warm day - look mum - no jacket!

There's also a small river that runs through the park with really big carp living in it.


The ugliest carp in the park contest begins.

The best part about that contest is that every carp wins.
