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.

I Go to Kinugawa Onsen Hot Spa Resort

My wife and I went to Kinugawa Onsen hot spa resort the other day.

The local government, Tochigi Prefecture has decided to subsidize citizens to travel within Tochigi prefecture by giving every citizen five thousands yen or three thousands yen for one night hotel stay.

The subsidy was aiming at helping traveling businesses which were in the severe recession hit by covid-19 to recover ASAP.

We used the subsidy and went to the resort this time.

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

A gold beetle is on a flower.

I went to Hakone Botanical Garden of Wetlands to see its native plants and species with my wife.

Hakone town is located near Mt. Fuji. It took us half a day to get there by car.

There are various kinds of plants and insects in the area.
