I Go to Ryuoukyo Valley

There were lots and lots of beautiful waterfalls and well-maintained hiking trails along the river in Ryououkyo valley.

We enjoyed healthy walking and beautiful scenery there.

I Cross a Suspension Bridge over Kinu River

 

There is a long suspension bridge, 140-meter long, at Kinugawa Onsen area. 

The view of the river from the bridge was splendid.

Walking passed the bridge and climbing up Tateiwa mountain, you can enjoy the view of the bridge and surrounding scenery.

Just a Month Before Autumn Top Season in Tochigi Prefecture

Though it is a bit early for autumn top season in Tochigi, the scenery in every place could not disappoint you at all.

Kegon waterfall, lake Chuzenji, Kinu river and flowers are sure to welcome every visitor all year round.

I am happy if someone share his or her impressions and pictures that are taken in the top autumn season in the same area.

Flowers of Field Mustard Are Blooming

On our way going to Nasu highland, my wife and I made a short visit at Kinu riverside park to see flowers.

The flower fields were not so big as I had expected.

But, it was beautiful enough to take some snap-shots for my spring memory.

View from a Bridge Is Changed One Day After the Storm

I took the following pictures from a bridge located between my office and my home one day after the big rainfall. The surface of the park near the river had been brought off to downriver.

The amount of water in the river could be two to three times larger than usual, I guess.

A Big Storm of Rainfall Hits in Eastern Japan

We were suffered from a big storm last week for the first time in the last several decades.

Three people have been reported dead and fifteen people are still missing.

I go to my office by bike every day. It was raining like cats and dogs in the morning on the day.

I took several pictures when I crossed a big bridge which divided my town and my office.
The day was perfectly unfit for photo taking.
