The swanlike boat is for Shenba Lake sightseeing. I did'nt have the chance to try it since it is already late, I had to walk back to my hotel before dark. I had the oppurtunity to enjoy the scenery around the lake during 2 weeks training in Japan. The lake is very big as I could see the buildings and trees were so far away across. However, I managed to went around it and able to visit a few parks around it. I also visited an old castle... will talk about it in other entry. The hotel i stayed was in mito. There are several web pages about mito you could surf... i will put the address once i found it. Mito is a nice small town. Have a few shopping malls where i bought my ration, tuna , rice, bread & biscuit. No McD no KFC, have a fastfood restaurant much like McD. All the cashiers and salesperson did not speak english. Even if you try to converse in english they will reply in Japanese. You just have to guess and use signage - have to be creative... to survive. But there are a few shops selling clothing from US and the salesperson was black, i am not sure from where... but they could speak Japanese quite well.

May I know where Shenba Lake is? It seems that you are just a visitor in Japan. It is very hard to communicate here if you don't know japanese or have a student friend guide you. Maybe next time you can contact us, and maybe we can advice you on some stuff.
Salam perkenalan!
