This year's golden week

Image
During this year's Golden Week, a state of emergency was issued and instructions were given to refrain from moving across prefectures, so I ended up spending a week relaxing at home and in the neighborhood of my house. I thought about staying at a campsite near my house for about one night, but all the campsites were closed, and the riverbed park, barbecue area and parking lot were all closed. The use of the riverbed itself was not prohibited, so the weather was fine on May 3rd and 4th and I went to the riverbed park near my house by bicycle, set up a tent, read a book, and had a cup of tea, spending time playing catch. The riverbed of Hirakata is a place I like very much, and although there are not so many people, it was used by many families while the destination was restricted.

We went to M akino sunny beach Chinaihama auto campsite (Sep 26-27 2020). This was a campsite I've always wanted to visit, so I was really looking forward to it. The weather forecast was delicate on this day, but the weather forecast improved and I couldn't find a day to go if I missed this day, so I was tough, but after all, it was midnight and the thunder became quite severe. I thought this was dangerous and we were decided to evacuate to the car on the way. Day 2:

The Persides

 August 12 was said to be the best day to watch The Persides so we decided to watch it. I searched good place to watch near here and found hotani . It is about 30 min by car so we went there. The weather condition of this day was cloudy so I guessed there might be 50% chance to watch it. We stayed there about 8 PM till 10 PM but couldn't watch it so we came back home and watched internet live below. It was sad but it might be good memory for our summer holiday.

14th(Sat.) to 16th(Mon.) September is 3 days national holiday so we did camping at our  ordinary place . We stayed one night at 14th and 13th is full moon called Chushu no meigetsu because August 15th of the old calender is called "Chushu" so this moon is popular in Japan. Next day(15th Sunday), we left there at noon and visited around sakamoto area because my wife wants to stop by places related to akechi mitsuhide, famous warrior. We went to Saikyoji temple because there is a tomb of akechi mitsuhide. I was surprised that this is big temple ! It is the general headquarters of the Tendai Shinsei sect. Three headquarters of the Tendai is located in shiga prefecture. And there is special exhibition room for akechi mitsuhide. This is Sakamoto castle Ruins park and there is bronze statue of akechi mitsuhide.
