Japan is full of beautiful scenery.
Wherever we may go, we see some attractive scenery,
don't we?

I made a two day bus tour to Hitsuji-yama Park in Saitama,
Mt. Shirane in Kusatsu, Gummma, and Kami-kouchi in Nagano.

Hitsuji-yama Park is famous for its beautiful shiba-zakura.
I enjoyed watching the pink ground in the park.

I saw much lingering snow at the top of Mt. Shirane.
The water of the crater was emerald green---
yes, the color of that valuable bright green stone.
Have you ever seen the crater of Mt. Shirane?
I saw it for the first time in my life.

Kami-kouchi is one of my favorite places.
When I visited it last year, I saw a lot of snow left.

But this time I saw little snow left.
Kami-kouchi was crowded with many tourist as usual.
I enjoyed walking there with a lady with 70-year-old lady.

There was an enormous traffic jam everywhere.
But I did not mind it at all.
