During the Sanja Maturi we could experience one of the most crowded events in Tokyo. Here a short video of one of the shrines being transported around Asakusa.

Golden Week
The Golden Week is characterized by enormous masses of people moving through all Japan. We followed the local customs and escaped to Tamagawa Onsen and Onikobe (at the second location we enjoyed two ryokans: Houunkaku and Taishinkan).
Mt. Ontake – The second serving
In March 2015 we collected gas samples in the region of Mt. Ontake (for the first time during the cold season). Up to 3 m of snow hampered the access to the highest sampling location (Nigorigo).
More impressions can be found under Expeditions/Fieldwork.
