walking in Ome City

It was very hot yesterday and I was walking in Ome
in that early summer heat.

Yes, I joined ‘Green Road Walking Club’ yesterday.

When I got up in the morning, I was fine and decided
to join it.

萩山駅⇒拝島駅⇒河辺駅⇒塩船観音入口⇒塩船観音寺（お昼）
⇒宗泉寺⇒吹上しょうぶ公園⇒妙光院⇒光明寺⇒乗願寺
⇒宗徳時⇒昭和レトロ商店街⇒青梅駅

We gathered at Hagiyama Station on the Seibu Line
at 9:30. We changed trains at Haijima St. and went
to Kabe St. Then we took a bus and left it at 塩船観音入口.

塩船観音寺 was a high spot.
It is famous for its beautiful azaleas（ツツジ）.
We were a little bit late for its full bloom,
but I was excited to see beautiful azaleas.







The Goddess of Mercy（観音様）stands at the highest
place in the garden of the temple.

I had onigiri lunch on the bench at the foot of the Goddess,
looking at the mountains far away and blue skies above me.











I was looking forward to visiting吹上しょうぶ公園.
We were too early for しょうぶ.

I could see no irises but fresh green fields made me
happy. We sang a song 「若葉」.





I bought 弁当for my supper at Kokubunji.
I enjoyed it with a glass of wine.





I had a great day.
I walked 19748 steps in a day.
