Shiobara Hot Spa Resort #3

Eating delicious food, good walking exercises and seeing wonderful scenery, all of them made me refreshed a lot.

It is my privilege, living in Tochigi, to visit the place like this spending just a couple hours driving from home.

I Go to Dragon Disguising Waterfall

After about half an hour walking up a mountain trail, we got to the dragon disguising waterfall.

The waterfall was located in the mountains in Shiobara hot spa resort,  was named after the shape of its looks, I guess.

Its water line was bending three times, seems like that a dragon was flying up to the sky.

We enjoyed beautiful scenery and a good mountain hiking.

I Go to Shiobara Hot Spa Resort

My wife and I went to Shiobara Hot Spa Resort for an “eating as much crab meat as we can” dinner plan and being relaxed in hot spa.

We enjoyed not only the dinner and the hot spa but also seeing musical show in which singers wore in old style kimono clothes and did Samurai fighting performances.

There were no coronavirus effects at the hotel while we were staying the hotel.

I Go to Momiji-Dani Suspension Bridge

After visiting Nasu Outlet Shopping Mall, my wife and I drove in Shiobara hot spa resort area.

One of the tourist sightseeing spots is Momiji-Dani Suspension Bridge in the area.

They ask us 300 yen per person for walking from one side of the bridge to the other.

We arrived at the parking lot of the bridge just 20 minutes before closing time.

But, unbelievably, all workers of the bridge had just left the office for their home because, I guess, no tourists were visiting the bridge.

I thought it worth visiting in autumn when leaves turned red, not at that time, so did we.

I Go to Nasu Outlet Shopping Mall

My wife and I went to Nasu Outlet Shopping Mall on Thursday a couple weeks ago.

Since few people visited there, a locomotive for kids carried just empty cars purposelessly.

We spent just one hour walking around, looking goods in the shops then I bought my favorite brand bag there.

Hppy Birthday to My Father-In-Law

 

My father-in-law and some of my family members had a birthday party in Tokyo the other day.

I was not able to go to the party, though,  judging from the pictures taken by my wife, they must have had a wonderful moment together.

Mt. Fuji Viewing from Home

I can clearly see Mt. Fuji from the balcony at my condominium especially in winter season.

I took these pictures around half an hour past eight o’clock in the morning.

In early morning or at sunset are the best for shooting photos of Mt. Fuji from home.

Basil Tree at Home

We are taking care of a bail tree at home.

It used to be just a weak grass when my wife brought it back from a nearby supermarket.

Now, it has lots of leaves, braches and flowers.

Those leaves and flowers go to my sandwiches for lunch almost every day.

Growing speed seems faster than shrinking speed by everyday’s trimming in the morning.

New Year's Party with My Tennis Friends

We had a New Year's Party with my tennis friends at one of member’s home three days ago.

I brought three dozens of oranges to his house and squeezed them into orange juice.

Those oranges had been sent from my home town family in Matsue city last month.

I had a wonderful time with my friends talking a lot and drinking delicious fresh orange juice.

Thanks Hara-san for offering your house for the party.

We promised that we would have a cherry blossom viewing party at a nearby park this April.

I Go to Vietnamese Restaurant "Sen"

My wife and I went to a Vietnamese Restaurant "Sen" at early evening about one week ago. There was only one couple eating their dinner and no restaurant’s owner was found when we got to the restaurant. They were talking Vietnamese and, at the time of our arrival, they kindly called a restaurant owner working inside the kitchen.
We ordered a dish of beef fried rice, two different bowls of needle soup and spring rolls.
Tastes were good and price was reasonable.

I Pay Visit toTochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts

My wife and I went to Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts the other day.

The title of exhibition is "Kosçak Yamada and Art."

The exhibition itself was average; not good not bad.

We just enjoyed our time being relaxed surrounded by art works on a quiet weekday afternoon
