Day out.

~Walking in Tarui area~

I went to Tarui with my dad.
The weather was pretty good. Sometime cloudy, but I could see blue sky.

At first we walked around the town.
We visited 'Jinjya' (shrine).


In front of the shrine.
There were two kind of cherry bloosoms. (Normal one and droopy one)


Droopy cherry bloosom. Behind 'Torii' (Gate of shine)

When we were walking in the town, we found something cute...


In front of someone's house there was a dog...

The dog was really quiet and just sitting in the small garden.
He/She (?) was so cute. I liked very much.

We also visited different shrine. This was different type of shrine is called 'Taisha'.
Before the shrine there were two gates. One of them was huge.


Huge red gate...
You can see some cars bottom, so you can tell how big this gate is.


Top of gates with blue sky.
So gorgeous...

From the red gate, we walked about ten minutes.
Finally we found shrine is called 'Nangu taisha'.


Entrance of shrine.


Inside of shrine.

There was a river in the town that called Aikawa (Ai river).
It was spring festival, so there were lot of peole, but not so crowded.

This river is famous for 'Koinobori' (Carp streams).


'Koi' is a kind of fish which is like above.
This one was in the town when we were walking in the town.

Many 'Koinobori' are here...

One of my favourite photos of the day

It was gorgeous day. I could see so many things just for one day.
Thanks my dad.

Day trip with my parents.

~Iwakura city at Gojyou river~

I went t oday trip to Iwakura city with my parents.
There were so many people both side of the river... so it was really difficult to take photos without people.

Near the river some people were making 'Koinobori' (Carp streamer).
This is called 'Nonboriarai' which is washing carp stream. This for taking off 'Nori' which is like laundy starch.

There were a lot of cherry blossoms and rapeseeds.
It was really tired... because of heaps of people were walking narrrow riveside.
Other than that it was really nice day.
