Hello, Tourist from over seas or “Aliens” in Japan

Hello from Japan.

I wrote looooooooooooooong blog this morning,but it did not published anyhow....

But this time, I tried it again and it seems working...

Ok, lets start again.

I am not native English speaker. I might make lots of mistakes though, hopefully you will understand what I try to say. 

I moved in Toyama prefecture last december.(2008) from Australia with my Australian husband.

I am Japanese and originally from Aichi prefecture. We wanted to buy a house in cheep price without borrowing money and search it though internet from Australia last year.

We wanted to live mountain area.

We wanted to live not too far from sea side.

We wanted to live in cold weather.

We wanted to live somewhere not too far from my home town.

And it was Toyama and especially in Tateyama area.

Tateyama area is famous for "North Japan Alps". It's very picturesque place and peaceful area to live in. Of course it's great for tourism.

But provably it is not so famous place to visit for tourist from over seas or "Aliens" in Japan.

(Aliens: we call people from outside of Japan island with sarcasm and love)

I don't know much about this area yet. So, I would like to discover it for myself and to introduce it to you guys.
