Climbing a mountain by bicycle in the early morning of summer. When I was a child, my grandmother often brought me to Shojoike, but the numerous calls of the Higurashi are sometimes accompanied by the chilling sounds of giant frogs. The atmosphere that could only be experienced here for a long time still remains intact. Only now did I know the origin of the pond. In the Edo period, farmers suffering from drought at the foot of the mountain asked to build a large reservoir in the mountains, but permission was not easily obtained, and many years passed. After the farmers continued to plead without giving up while suffering from the sunshine, permission was finally granted and a large reservoir was completed. The farmers expressed their gratitude to the daikan and performed Noh "Son" by this pond. In commemoration of this, the pond was named Sonari Pond. Torches burning in the twilight... The sound of flutes and drums seems to resonate.

This is strawberry shaved ice from a shaved ice shop called "Japan Ichi" in Gunma. The ice is made from Chichibu's natural ice, and you can change it to Nikko's natural ice. In addition, the strawberry syrup is made by hand and has a good balance of acidity and sweetness, and as the name of the store says, I think it is the best in the hot summer. I think that shaved ice is indispensable in the summer of Japan, and now there are various shaved ice in Japan all over the country, and I think it has become more familiar. I took a picture of such shaved ice not by the whole thing, but by focusing on the parts that looked delicious.

And it's Friday! Was really feeling the soreness in my muscles today after working out yesterday, but it's a good feeling. Need to get a better workout for my lower stomach though, only feeling it in my mid-section really. I'd like to find a park where I can work out as well. A place with like some pull up bars where I can work on pull ups and general calisthenics besides just weight lifting at home. There are quite a few parks in Tokyo though so it shouldn't be too hard to find something. Just don't to get in the way of other people using the park. Was able to take a nice photo of a river running through Meguro today as well. Not sure which one but I think it'd look nice in the spring or fall, so maybe I'll have to go back in a few months and see if the leaves around it have changed color. Praying for good weather this weekend but we'll see. At the very least I'd like to do some laundry lol. Hope everyone has a good weekend, maybe I'll post something tomorrow as well but I generally stay off social media on the weekends. Until next time!
