Kagurazaka

It was nice weather yesterday.  I went to Kagurazaka.  There are many alley there.  And then they have their own name. ;)  I heard there are many cats, but I wasn't able to see them this time! :(  But this town reminds me of the feeling of nostalgia.

Kagura-Kouji(神楽小路)


Kakurenbo-Yokocho (かくれんぼ横丁)
  

Hyogo-Yokocho (兵庫横丁)


Japanese restaurant (料亭) created good atmosphere

And then, I ate a big steamed meat bun at the chinese store, no photo though. x(  It was good!
If you visit this town, you may feel Kyoto-ish atomosphere. :D

Kyu Furukawa Gardens

I went to "Kyu Furukawa Gardens" last Sunday.  It was good for going out, because it was sunny & warm though a little windy day.  There are many people at there.

This garden has many kind of roses.

Caprice de Meilland (キャプリス ドゥ メイアン)

Momoka (桃香)

Pink Peace (ピンクピース)

Rio Samba (リオ サンバ)

Seika (聖火)

Tower of roses

All roses are so beautiful, ain't they?
We can enjoy flowers for all four seasons here.
We'll be able to see Japanese iris next month. :)


I'll visit there in autumn next time!

Old tunnels make me EXCITED!

Hello! It was Golden Week from 29th April to 5th May in Japan. So I went back to my hometown during that. I visited old tunnel to take photos.

Let's start from here.
After you looked at this photo, don't you want to explore?
Having a chain across the pass makes me excited!

I continued to walk to the destination.

Phew, I felt a little fear, because I was scared of heights!
If I fell down, I would go to heaven. x(
I continued to walk for 35 minutes...


Ta-da!
I got my goal! :D Sooo amazing! Don't you think so?
This is inside the old tunnel.

Of course, this isn't used any more.
But this used to be used for carrying trees.

For your information, this was built in the Meiji era.

When I saw this at the first time, I thought it was well worth continuing to walk on rough road in 35 minutes.

Another old tunnel. This tunnel is dug with bare hands!




And then, when I was walking, I found a funny plant.
Do you know what is the name of cutie?


As I had feared, I felt a muscle pain!!
But I feel like a million bucks now. Yay!
