So a duck walks into a bar...

 

 

Lucky Ducky

Yes, we really had a duck at the Moooo! Bar today! I'd say it just goes to show how popular the bar is becoming--we had some goats come last year! Hopefully this is a sign that a bovine stampede is coming soon :) Moooo!

Shiraishi Island, where all your ducky dreams come true.

Meet the Amanos!

 This house name plate says "Amano" The name is made up of two kanji: heaven and field.

When you come to Shiraishi Island, one of the first things you'll notice is that a lot of people have the name Amano. Out of 570 people on the island, 92 are Amanos! 

Meet some Amanos and find out why we have so many people with this last name! There are lots of photos too.
