竹田城と姫路城 / Takeda catsle and Himeji castle

We went to Asago city to see 雲海 which means sea of clouds literally. Takeda castle in Asago city is one of places where we can see sea clouds in Japan.
I woke up a.m. 3 because sea of clouds can be seen in the early morning. However, there was no clouds!!!! I knew it depends on weather....but....but....!!!! OK. It was just unlucky:<

雲海を見るために朝来市の竹田城跡に行ってきたけど…見れんかた…！！！！快晴！！！！
３時に起きたのになー　がんばって登ったのになー　天気によるからしゃーないねんけど…はあ

After that disappointment, we still had much time of course. Then heading to Himeji city to see Himeji castle which is said the most beautiful castle in Japan. HOWEVER it was under construction:< I tried hard to take a beautiful picture. I couldn't enter the main part of the castle.
After this second disappointment, we went back home........hahaha

もちろん時間はありあまるのでそのまま南下して姫路城へ。あっこまだ工事やってんねんな…ずっと工事してない?鹿島さん…？本丸に入れず帰ってきたんやけど…？




 

曽爾高原のススキ

I went to Soni-Kogen to enjoy seeing shining grasses last Sunday. It was perfect sunny and the view was great!
I had prepared for cold weather at the mountain, Uniqlo heattech, knit wear and coat. But it was too much. I didn't need them at all. Sunlight was very strong and got me scared of getting burn my skin. And I got a mess after climbing up, because makeup gone with my sweat.

After walking around the grass field, I had lunch at a nice restaurant which was surrounded by pretty cosmoses.
It was a perfect autumn Sunday!!!!


曽爾高原に行ってきました。奈良なのか三重なのかいまいちよくわからんけど、めっちゃ晴れてて最高やった。ススキが有名らしく１０月と１１月がハイシーズンみたいですごい混んでた。
高原やから寒いと思ってめっちゃ厚着していったけど、まったく不要やった。丘を登り終わったあとは汗だくで悲惨なことになったし。

うろうろ歩き回って近隣に道の駅兼レストランみたいなのがあったのでゴハン食べて帰ってきた。コスモスもいっぱい生えててきれいやったし、秋最高。

 

Mitarai water fall in Tenkawa village / 天川村みたらい渓谷

I have muscle pain because of this short trip to Mitarai water fall in Tenkawa village. Tenkawa village is located in southern Nara and it took more than 3 hours from Kyoto station.

I took off at Tenkawa kawaai → 3 hours hiking through deep forest → Dogawa On-sen (hot spring)

Eating noddles and taking a bath after hiking was great. Leaves were still bright green and reflecting of sunshine was so beautiful.
The way from the bus stop to Dogawa On-sen had many up-downs than I expected. And that caused muscle pain today (especially my upper back Why?).


昨日、奈良県天川村のみたらい渓谷に行ってものすごい筋肉痛です。やばい。

天川川合下車　→　遊歩道という名のあんま舗装されてない道3時間　→　洞川温泉

ハイキングの後のうどんと温泉が最高でした。だしが沁みた。木々がまだ割と黄緑できれいで良かったです。
ただ、思ってたより道が険しくて、筋肉痛がひどい。特に肩とか。なんで肩なんやろう…ふつう足ちゃう？
