Kyotango full of attractions It's not a shooting iron, but the Kyotango Railway runs along the Yura River It's always a car, so I wonder what kind of scenery spreads out from the window of this train ... ? I was very worried ? Maizuru, Kyoto Especially from around May, Kyotango is full of sights such as rice planting time and night fireflies.

My today's recommendation is Hakone. From where one can see several things, like lake ashi, mount fuji, owakudani volcano and many more. But I thing the best part is ridding the pirate ship over the lake ashi and enjoy the breath taking view of mount Fuji from the lake and also the view of Heiwa no torii. This red color torii gate is very famous tourist spot in Hakone.

The houses lined up by the sea look as if they are floating on the sea. The first floor housed boats, and the second floor was used as a drying area for nets and fishing gear. I was finally able to go to Ine's boathouse. I enjoyed the slow flow of time in a room without a TV and this view.
