I Go to Utsunomiya Central Park

 

It becomes colder day by day. 

As time goes by, the color of leaves turns beautiful. I went to Utsunomiya Central Park to see how the park had changed its scenery these days.

Miyakawa Morning Market at Takayama City

 

When I went to Takayama city, I felt that the city looked similar to my hometown Matsue city.  

Both cities keep traditional Japanese culture and nature, and also both have beautiful rivers and streets.

Takayama Festival was added to the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2016.

I want to visit there again in the season of Takayama Spring or Autumn Festival. 

I Go to Varicolored Carp Museum in kanuma City

I went to the golden carp museum in Kanuma city, but it was not open on the day. Only ducks were swimming at the pond in front of the museum.

We stayed a hotel near the museum and enjoyed hot spring and delicious dinner.

I Take Pictures on a Rainy Day

This is the way I take pictures.

It is hard to take photos holding both my camera and an umbrella.

All photos of today's post were taken by my wife, Kiyono using her smartphone.

I Go to Utsunomiya Central Park in the Rain

The baby snail on wet leaves goes well on a rainy day.

The frog and the carp in the water do not care about the rain, of course.

I Go to Utsunomiya Central Park #2

There are not only flower gardens but also a big pond and a medium size pond with traditional Japanese style bridges.

While I was staying in the park, I rarely met people.

I think the number of people visiting the park might be less than one tenth that of the number on a usual day.

Carps and wild ducks, they were swimming as usual, did not care about COVID-19 at all.

It was a very quiet day.
