Kouchi town in front of station

After I climb down from Mt. Takamura-yama, I walked to nearest railroad's station Kouch. There were some shops around there. It was very small and old town. I remembered the town where I stayed when I was child. The town was like it.
I could remembered old days. It was happy days when there was no mobile phone and computers. I thought time moved slowly than now.

Summit of Mt. Takamura

The summit of Mt. Takamura-yama was northern side of the temple. It was silent place.
Guide book said that the triangulation point was in the bush. So, I looked for it for a while. But, I could't find it.

Beautiful temple

There was a beautiful temple near the summit of Mt. Takamura-yama. The name was temple Chiku-rin. It means the forest of bamboo.
I prayed in front of it. And I left there.

Ruin of castle

There was a ruin of castle near the summit of Mt. Takamura-yama. There was an old water well. There was no water in it.
I'd seen such well at Mt. Takamatsu-yama. Keeping water must be one of the most important for castle.

Prevent animal entering

At the entrance of climbing road, barricade was there. It was written that please close the barricade correctly in order to prevent to through of animals.
They would eat vegetables.
I'd watched such barricade in the Yatsuga-dage. But, it was for save rare plants in high mountains.
After I closed it carefully, I started to climb mountain.

Last climbing was at Mt. Takamura

I climbed Mt. Takamura-yama as a last climbing in this year. It was there between the station of Nyuno and Kouchi. So, I'd climbed near station Nyuno. And, I left there near station Kouchi. I went there during I moved to my old home in Okayama.

After dark

After Dark was written by Haruki Murakami. It was a story about a girl and people who she had met in the night.And about relationship with her elder sister.
It was mysterious story.
I often felt deja vu during I was reading. I might have read it before.
I often can't understand the end of story which be written by him. But, it is one of nice point.

My lanking: ★★★★☆

Beautiful bridge in mid city

During I returned from Kabe town in the night, I met a beautiful bridge in mid city of Hirohima. The name was Yanagi-bashi river. Yanagi is Japanese which have meaning a kind of plant willow.
It was lighted and shined beautiful. But the bridge in my photograph is not so beautiful. Photo is difficult.

Tunnel appeared

Near kabe town, I missed the selection of road, I had to moved on very narrow road. the road was between river and railroad. It had a nice landscape.
An old tunnel appeared in front of me. It was like one cut of animation of Ghibri.

Cycling to Kabe

Distance between Yano from Kabe town was about 34 km. I moved the distance by bicycle.
There was friend's home who loved bicycle in Kabe town. The drinking event was held there. And I went in order to join it.
The photo was Ota-gawa river. The road beside the river had wide area for only walker and bicycle. It was very nice road.
As the road condition was good, 34 km was not so long.

New color of tire

Color of tire of road bike was changed from red to black. Total image of the bicycle changed, too. It was cool.
Riding touch of new tire's one was very good. The touch was very different with old one. I had a image which the tire bonded on the ground.
Resist of rotation on surface of road may be larger than before. But, it was a little.
I was satisfied with it.

Changed to wide and soft tire

I changed front and rear tire today. Because the old one was about 10 years old. So, the rubber changed to hard and had some cracks.
The new one was wider and softer than old one.

Wrench for pedal

In order to change pedal for bicycle, I bought special wrench. Before I bought it, I tried by normal wrench for job. But, it was impossible. So, I bought it.
I won't to use it for about 3 years from now. But, I had to by it. I have such items and gears.

Bell for bicycle

I bought new bell for road bike, because it be broken when I fall down. Taking bell on bicycle is duty which be fixed by law. It is compact.
