Kinchakuda, Hidaka (September 23rd)


Lycoris radiata (Higanbana, or Manjushage).

We went to Kinchakuda in Hidaka city, Saitama.
It was cloudy, so it was a little hard to take pictures.
There were lots of people visiting there to see Lycoris radiata (Higanbana, or Manjushage) flowers.
From Kinchakuda, we walked all the way to Lake Miyazawa and visit the Miyazawako Hot Spring "Kirari Bettei". It was cool all day and felt nice after bathing in the hot spring.

埼玉の巾着田にいってきました。午前中はあいにくの曇り空で、写真を撮るのが難しかったです。
祝日ということもあってか、やはりたくさんの人でにぎわっていました。
巾着田から、こ一時間ほど歩いて、宮沢湖の温泉に立ち寄りました。
テラスからの眺めがなかなか気持ちよかったです。

Some of the flowers were bent probably because of the typhoon the other day.

例年のごとく、たくさんの人が列を成しています。


There was some area with lots of buds, which were not bloom yet.
The tree fell down because of the typhoon the other day, probably...
まだ芽が伸びてきたばかりのエリアもありました。
倒木は台風のせい?

Mt. Mitake and Mt. Hinode (September 10th)


Anemonopsis macrophylla (Renge Shouma).

We had not been out on weekends for a while, so we went to Mt. Mitake and Mt. Hinode this weekend.
There were lots of people waiting for the bus to the cable car station.
There were still some of Anemonopsis macrophylla (Renge Shouma) flowers left.
From Mt. Hinode, we walked down to Tsurutsuru Hot Spring and enjoyed bathing there for a couple of hours.
We found some autumn flowers blooming.
