From the Niagara Falls Review:
The roar of water over Niagara Falls appears to have captured the heart of a prominent tourist – the prime minister of Japan.
Junichiro Koizumi made his first visit to the falls Tuesday, declaring the Canadian landmark “magnificent” and “beautiful.”
The prime minister, who was on a private trip to Niagara Falls, grinned widely as he peered over the metal railing and into the abyss, questioning why the water was green.
“He was most impressed by the volume of water and the beauty,” said Niagara Falls Mayor Ted Salci, who escorted the prime minister.
