Day second started.   After enjoying breakfast, we left hotel at about 11 AM. At Gifu city, we went Soufukuji(崇福寺) and Dousan zuka(道三塚) where my wife selected. Then we went to Hana festa memorial park  and there is special exhibition related to NHK drama . I was exhausted so I retired and had stayed at this exhibition center. My wife and son had walked around the memorial places. After this, we ate lunchboxes at supermarket parking and an accident happened. Our cars' air conditioner was broken! This day was the hottest day of this summer and Gifu was predicted 40 celsius. Under such an terrible condition, we had continued driving about 40 min and had been to kikkyo zuka .

We used the  Goto campaign  which the government supported 30% of hotel fees plus coupons equal to 20% of hotel fees(latter had not yet started on that day). We used comfort hotel Gifu which costs 6800 yen per 3 persons (very cheap!) and 2380 yen support by the Goto campaign so we could stay this hotel about 4400 yen! So we left home at 10:30 am and had driven to Sekigahara which was our first destination. Before there, we ate lunch at Oomi donmaru . It tastes good and the price is low (my donburi costs 600 yen).   Eating lunch, we went to Sekigahara where a big battle was done around the year 1600.  This day was very hot, the temperature was around 38 Celsius so when we climbed up the hill, I was exhausted.
