I kept no-smoking for two years and 126 days in a row.
Yesterday I went to Kiso-Sansen Park, which is one of the state-run parks, for the
first time to enjoy its tulip festival.
The tulips' various-color flowers are really great and beautiful and very impressive.
I also enjoyed great views from the top of the observation tower, which cost 600 yen.
I could enjoy a great panoramic view of the three rivers, the Ibi, the Nagara and the Kiso.
The park's nearest station is Tado station in Mie Prefecture and it takes about 40
minutes to walk to the park.
The round-trip walking is about one hour and 20 minutes, which might be good for my health.
