MIZUGATSUKA and SUYAMA

Let's enjoy our trekking today on the children's day.

It was so nice sunny day.

I felt a little cold except during walking.

Good to see you again, MISOSAZAI!

Bad light control though, my first look and shot of KIKUITADAKI.

Good to see you again, KOGARA too.

The season of new life's beginning.

MAMIJIRO!! First time to see you.

My elder daughter found it first.

Thanks a lot!

Long time no see, GOJUKARA!

Female RURIBITAKI.

Maybe they are going to make pairing around this 1,600 m elevation.

KOGERA.

GOJUKARA again.

MISOSAZAI looked busy for gathering some moss.

Nesting there around?

YAMAGARA were seen as pair.

Thank you for coming down close to me.

On the way home, we dropped at the old famous shrine near curryaman and woodman's house first time.

It seemed to be one element of a series of the world heritage related Mt.FUJI.

So cool old building.

The reflection which the volunteer guide stuff told me.

She got the new one.

Trekking and visiting shrine are likely getting our weekend activity from now.

FUJINOMIYA

11:00, arrived at the 5th station of FUJINOMIYA with my wife's mother. It has been a while for us though, it was the first time to visit for her.

Can you see something on the slope?

Yes, they were. We all enjoyed seeing them in a short distance.

11:52 We arrived at the cabin. Since the younger daughter got tired, they was going to go back to the parking. And the elder daughter and I kept climbing for a while.

12:23 around the crater of Mt. HOEI.

We hesitated to ascend the steep slope which we descended once, but found the another route back to the parking.

We could be back to the parking before 13:00.

14:07 This shaved ice was no more shaved ice ordinary! If you are interested in it, please visit that cafe and try it.

15:05 Visited SENGEN shrine together.

What a monster rainbow!

15:40 Enjoyed seeing fall colored AMAGO continuing rise for something on the surface.

15:58 Are you giving me an invitation to the river?

Trekking on the neighboring trail

So nice weather! Let's go outing, girls.

Ladybug was moving very busily.

Younger daughter found lucky clover by herself!

Mantis(which my wife dislike very much)'s egg case.

YAMASANAE?

Typical colored SAWAGANI around here.

My hometown's one has red color.

Caught it well?

It reminded me of the tasty beer...

Beautiful bamboo shoot.

TAKEKURABE, comparison of statures.

AKATATEHA butterfly.

It was a kind of moderate trekking for us all.
