On July 27, Rodney's associate Yoshikawa-san invited him jet skiing at Inawashiro Lake. This trip was Rodney's second time going to the same lake. Back in 2004, he went with Yoshikawa-san and some friends and lost his glasses in the bottom of the lake after wiping out. These days, the sport has become rather popular in Japan. Yoshikawa-san owns two stand-up jet skis. None of which are Honda-make since Honda does not manufacture stand-up jet skis.
Initially, the plan was to stay overnight at a bed-and-breakfast, which is known as a pension. Instead, they returned the same night since we had prior plans to go to Fuji Safari Park on the 28th. It took four hours to drive, each way.
Inawashiro Lake in the middle of Fukushima Prefecture, is the third largest lake in all of Japan. It is situated inland near Mount Bandai. The area is a very popular summer destination for watersports, boating and camping. In the winter, Mount Bandai is known for its famous ski resorts.
Generally, stand-up jet skis require more technical skill, than sit-down personal watercrafts, or Seadoos. Rodney prefers the challenge of stand-up jet skis.
