Mountain Climbing





I went up Abura Mountain 2 weeks ago.
It is located in Fukuoka City.

First of all, we went to Abura Mountain Shimin-no mori(Abura Mountain citizen's forest) by bus. We arrived there about half past two. And the we started climbing the mountain. We had to return there by half past five because we needed to get on the last bus to go back to the city.

While climbing, I was out of breath because I don't usualy excise and don't have stamina. It took me about one and a half hours to arrive at the top of the mountaion.
It was cloudy so I couldn't see the beautiful view clearly from there....But I was comfortable.

And then we start to go down the mountain. Going down is easy for me compared to going up! On the way to the bus stop, we saw some beautiful flowers such as cherry blossoms.

We arrived at the bus stop around five. It means, we made it!

After that, we went to the restaurant to eat dinner. It was really delicious.

I usually don't excise so climbing a mountain is new for me and I'm excited. I want to go up some mountains more.

Hot springs


Last sunday I went to Yufuin(Oita prefecture).
Yufuin is very famous for hot springs.
I like to bathe in hot springs.

It took about 2 hours from my house to Yufuin.

When we arrived in Yufuin, we went to a hotel to have lunch.
It was really delicious.

And then we bathed in the hot springs. I was very comfortable because it was specious.
There are many kinds of hot springs there.
One of them has tea flavored! Amazing!
I was able to see cherry blossoms from there.

After that, we went to Mingei village.
There are many interesting shops there.
We had 2-hour free time there.

We went to Kinrin-lake. It was beautiful.
Unfortunately, we got lost there and spent a lot of time on searching for the right way.
Because of this, we didn't have enough time to visit some shops I was interested in.
So, I want to visit there again.
