Nagano Japan 2012

3rd day in japan, and this is our last day at Kyoto, and for the last destination before going back to tomo's house, we visited the Fushimiinari taisha shrine and walk going to the mountain through the path of Tori gates..so cute



 

you can see this Fox just outside the shrine

 lots of tori gates



After a long walk, 1 or hours of walking, we arrive at the top of the mountain, so tiring and its very hot

 you will find this when you reach on top, people will touch the bell to ring then tou will pray, ofcourse me and tomo also pray there, after a little look around we go down..

view from top

Thats all for my kyoto's adventure, it's time to go to back to Tomo's house.

 

4rth day in Japan, and its a holiday there that time, since I wanted to go to Grapes plantation, Tomo bring me to this place. 

 

Wow soooo many grapes, its my first time to go like this place. Its interesting. There is an entrance going inside the plantation but  all those grapes is eat all you can, bringing home is not allowed unless you pay for what you are bringing.



 sooo yummy...
 

I told tomo that I also wanted to go to Nezame-no-toko, its so nice diba?



  It is a bed of rocks at an enchanting location along the Kiso River. 

It is a nice place for picture taking, for couple, or for people who wanted to relax and feel the fresh and cold air while lying down on the rocks..









5th day, time for moutain hiking at Mt.Myoko
We rode a cable car called myokokogen skycable, going to the top is easy and without effort hahaha           

it's my first time to ride a cable car, and im scared.

 



 oh diba? were on top but Im still fresh hahaha

view from top, this is not the real top of Mt. myoko, we tried to walk more on top but when we started to walk inside the forest,were scared, the way is not easy,so we decided to go back hahaha..

 

                  look at the way going up, its dangerous that's why we choose to go back hehehe



 

We finished walking around the mountain and it still early, I suggest that we just walk going down to the mountain for fun. Still early so went to this place near the mountain.

the Imori pond 

6th day. Its raining around Nagano, but it doesnt stop us to go out and tour around. Tomo decided to bring me to Mall far from his house, maybe its 2hrs going there and we will be using train.

 our superb delicious lunch..yummy

 When we go out to the mall, we saw this beautiful rainbow





 *there's a rainbow after the rain* hehehe
 

A day before my coming back to Philippine, Tomo really wanted to bring me to this place. Another mountain hiking. And Im glad that we have a good weather when we went to this place. :) Kamikochi


 

In Kamikochi, you will find this mountain, the Mt. Yake-dake, an active volcano





 It is really a beautiful place, so many people are going here to see this place. Going here is easy,again,hahaha. You just need to ride a bus going to the mountain, and from this place, you can start to walk to see the beautiful scene of the place.

easy path way inside the mountain, to take care the trees and plants

they really preserve there Natures, and galing

 

After a long walk, you will see this bridge,the Kappa-bashi Bridge, a 36.6-meter-long and 3.1-meter-wide wooden suspension bridge over the Azusa-gawa River. There's a hotel and some shop near the bridge, oh diba amazing, you can stay there for a vacation because there's a place for you to stay. hehehe.

More walk and you will find this view. Mountain view when you cross at Myojin bridge

 



temple near the mountain and bridge, near this temple is there's a source of food, very convinient mountain talaga.

Last part before we going back

Myojin bridge

 

After taking a rest here, we started to go down and go to bus station.

I enjoy walking around this place,its fun especially im with tomo, its easy to hike here and the place is really beautiful. I want to go back here someday hehehe..
