This summer vacation was nine days from August 7th to 15th, but after an unusual heavy rain and Corona's state of emergency, I ended up spending most of my time at home. However, since it was a break in the rain on August 11th and I happened to go to the southern part of Osaka, we decided to go a little further and go hiking on Mt. Kongo . Arrived at the parking lot of Mt. Kongo around 14:30, we started climbing with a little hiking feeling like Mt. Ibuki the other day, but it was quite hard. It is true that the road is paved, but the mountain trail is quite steep, and since I was relaxing at home during the holidays, my physical strength was weakened, and after walking for 30 minutes, it became almost swaying. Oops. Still, I managed to reach the summit in about 50 minutes. From the front of the mountaintop, the slope became gentle and my breath became quite calm.

We stopped our car and walked from there to the summit for about 30 minutes, and arrived at the summit at 12:30. Ibuki Zyakosou ? Kawara Nadesiko?

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 . And we had exhausted very much due to heavy hot temperature without air conditioner so we dropped in autobux seki shop and asked whether this breakdown might be fixed. After staying there for about 2 hours, they diagnosed that the air compressor was broken so they couldn't fix it instantly. So we drove back to
