Camping in Akikawa valley part 2

We gathered at Musashiitsukaichi station, because some participants didn't have car and had to take the train. Picking them up from the station, we went to the supermarket to get ingredients for the BBQ. Then we headed for our destination.

The road to the village was very impressive to me. about 10 munites drive from small towm reached inhabitat and widing road between deep forest Akikawa valley has a variety of scenic driveway that we can never see in urban area. beautiful waterfall and beautiful trees.

All of participants rode on six or seven car. There are no other car except us. We drove windingly through narrow valley road. If we looked from at the other side of the mountain  so the cars we drove looked like rattle snakes because the road was so meandering.  After 40 munites drives, we finally arrived our destination.

 
This is ''Goemon''bathtab.  ''Goemon'' is derived from Azuchi momoyama era. (AD1560-1600) Infamous theft ''Ishikawa Goemon'' was arrested by kyoto official and he was executed by boiling in the large steel pot at Sanjogawara, Kyoto.  This human size steel pot was begun to use as ''Goemonburo''.  By burning wooden chip under the steel pot, steel pot can heat bathwater. We have to cut many wooden chips. The picture is not good, but I thought it was worth trying once.

Children were able to enjoy fireworks. We prepared 300 unit fireworks, but instantly we run out of them. We enjoyed scenic beauty in summer. Children was

able to have memory that they can't never foget this summer.
