The film crew, and us, the foreign tourists. See - we have photographic evidence of this strange encounter! In the background you can make out the lovely lake Toya, and its volcanic island. 
Our traditional Japanese room at the plush spa onsen hotel in Toyako Onsen. Low table, tatami floor, and no bed. But you do get traditional Japanese green tea making facilities tucked away in the orange / brown box on the table. Oh, and a nice red bean paste glutenous bun each. Sweet.
We seem to have mastered the art of the camera timer! Lake Toya and volcanoes, and a passing raven. There are lots of them out here...

Showa Shinzan, a new, miniature volcano. With lots of steam issuing from its peak.
Fireworks over lake Toya. You`ve no idea how many photos Gary took to get the perfect shot with lovely water reflections. This wasn`t easy, as the fireworks were started from boats that kept on moving!
The very lovely volcanic island of lake Toya - revieled in all its glory the morning we left Toyako Onsen. Until this point it had been partially shrouded in clouds.
