The view from the rocks at Iwadatami in Nagatoro, Chichibu.
長瀞の岩畳からの紅葉。
We went to Nagatoro in the Chichibu area, Saitama for the first time.
We had heard about the place, but it takes more than 2 hours from here, so we had never tried the area before.
We took the special express from Tokorozawa and the express was pretty comfortable.
When we got Nagatoro station, it was pretty cold. Walking in ten minutes or so, we got to the famous spot called "Iwadatami" by the river. You can ride a boat there, but we didn't try this time and just enjoyed walking by the river on the rocks of Iwadatami.
We kept going to Tsuki-no-ishi Momiji Park near Kami Nagatoro station and we found lots of nice red maple trees there. From there we went back to Nagatoro and had lunch and then went to Mitsutouge-guchi station by the train on Chichibu line.
初めて秩父の長瀞に行ってきました。
横瀬には一度、行ったことがあったんですが、秩父までは今回が初めてです。
長瀞は川下りが有名だと思うのですが、寒いので今回は乗船せず、岩畳を歩きながら、月の石もみじ公園まで散策。この周辺には赤いカエデが沢山あって、きれいでした。
再び長瀞駅周辺に戻り、蕎麦屋さんでお昼ご飯（二人ともうどんを頂きましたが…）。
それから、三峰口まで急行電車で行ってきました。駅周辺を散策するにとどまりましたが、今度は大滝方面まで行ってみたいと思いました。
埼玉の土地勘が全くないので、自分がどの辺にいるのか、電車に乗りながら、全く想像がつかなかったです…。
