Oarai stroll to eat a nice little dainties

Bus trip to Oarai town, Ibaraki pref.

We went on a bus trip to Oarai on June 7 (Sun).
The bus left Noda city hall for Oarai at 8.30 a.m.
It was an ideal weather for an outing after the rain.
Fifty four people (29 NIA members including 9 children and 25 non-members) joined.
Foreign members were from Philippines, Vietnam and Thai.

It took an hour from Noda to Oarai through the Joban Expressway.
Each one of us introduced oneself in the bus on our way to Oarai.
There was a family of four, a married couple from Kasukabe, too.
