From Hirakata-city, Osaka-prefecture, Japan

Sep. 19-23 is 5 days holiday (called silver week), so I planed to make an overnight trip to somewhere near here. There were several plan, going to dinosaur museum at fukui, or driving to amano-hashidate through newly constructed kyoto-highway, staying hotel or camping. But when we checked hotel or camping erea, allmost all of them were already reserved. But at 19, I happend to find small camping park ( okuyama nature exploration park at tango peninsula) so we suddenly prepared trip and left home at 8:40 AM, sunday 20. Kyoto hightway was opend 2 month before so I was wondering heavy traffic, but traffic was smooth from yamazaki IC to terminal yosa amano-hashidate IC, so we reached caming park at noon (11:50). There are 2 type of camping erea, both of them were 1500 yen - 2000 yen per overnight, all person(very cheap), and there were no other people so we selected flat type site near river. After making a tent, we ate lunch. Afterthat, we drove to kinosai

Recently, we saw many low-price glasses companies in Japan. JINS was maybe established first in this field, and Zoff, Owndays was followed, as far as I know. My eye is very weak so I need high refractive glasses. Only Owndays doesn't need extra money so I selected Owndays. I bought 5980 yen(tax included 6400 yen)  plan with 1.67 refractive index and I could also select 1.71 one but I choosed 1.67 one.  My old glasses which I bought about 5 years ago was about over 20000 yen so it is very cheap !  We can buy good things with cheap prices !

Last day, after eating breakfast, we went to kusumoto sushi located near the hotel to buy sanma sushi box. But arriving this shop, we found that sanma sushi is sold for pre-orderd customers and they said we can buy their merchandise at supermarket so we went to o-kuwa to buy it.  We could buy sanma-sushi at o-kuwa. We left the hotel at 10 AM. In front of the hotel, we found beautiful sea shore. There are so many sea urchins. After that, we went to shiono-misaki which is a location located southest at honsyu-island. At shiono-misaki, there are rockey sea shore so we challenged to go there. There were pathway to there. After that, we went to shiono-misaki light station. We can climb it ! And the 3 days holiday was over and we left there at 3 PM and via wakayama-city to eat dinner 7 PM, we arrived our home at 11 PM. Very intersting holiday ! 

Second day, we went to akagi castle. This castle is said to be built at at 1588- AD by fujidou takatora.    Then we moved to maruyama senmai-da. It consit of 1300 water-filled paddy fields and scale is said to be one of largest in Japan. When we arrived there, there are only one person so we can enjoy very beautiful scenery.   Breakfast.   Afterthat, we left hotel and went to kumano hongu taisya. It took about 50 min.       Then moved to kumano hayamizu taisya.    Then lunch time at shingu near hayamizu-taisya.    Then last destination was kumano nachi taisya.   We can see nachi fall over there.    And moved to kushimoto where we stayed that day. Near kushimoto, we drop in hashigui iwa where there are many strange stones in sea.    We planed to buy sanma(saury)-sushi at supermarket, but was sold out. So w
