I Go To Mt. Sanbe of Daisen-Oki National Park



We enjoyed rabbit-ear irises (Iris laevigata) that bloomed at Himenogaike Pond at the northern foot of Mt. Sanbe.







"Hope we can see laughing children in Sanbe 100 years from now" is the message of this art work which was displayed in the restaurant of Nishinohara area. I hope so, too.

I Go and Buy Foods in Supermarkets

When you go to the states, it's fun to visit supermarkets, see goods there and buy foods that seem delicious.


But, it seems more expensive than those in Japan. I feel that everything costs two to three times of the same one sold in Japan.
