On sunday (25th), I visited Suma Rikyu Park (須磨離宮公園) in Kobe. The park has a botanical garden. When I visited there the roses were very beautiful. About 180 kinds of roses are in the garden. Thus there were many photographers and painters there. As the park has playing area for children, many children and their parents were also there. The park is located on Mt. Tsukimiyama (月見山), I could also see a good sea view.
　

　This week, I went to Himeji. Himeji Castle (姫路城) is famous and has been nominated for the UNESCO World Heritage. I climbed to the top of the castle.
After that I also went to Mt. Rokko (六甲山). The view at the Rokko Garden Place was good. I want to visit there again at night. It will be a good night view.

　This week’s destination was Ise (伊勢) in Mie Prefecture. I drove about 3 hours to Ise. First, I visited Ise Grand Shrine (伊勢神宮). Before reaching the shrine, a funny town lies as the front town of the shrine. The town is called Okage Yokocho (おかげ横町). All of the architectures in the town are Edo or Meiji era taste, and have good vibes. The town has many shops, and tourists can enjoy there. I took a Cake Set at Isuzu-gawa (五十鈴川) cafe in the town. The café has a good view of the river. I thought I wanted to visit here again.
　Next, I went to Futamigaura (二見浦). Meoto-Iwa (夫婦岩) is very famous, this consists of two rock as the following picture show, and lies in the sea. When I was an elementary school student I visited here and took photos in front of the rocks. I want to look at the sunrise from between the rocks. As the color of Momiji (紅葉) was still green, I am looking forward to take photos of the red color ones.

　Recently, Sunday is a driving day for me! As always I drove my car, and I went to Yoshino (吉野) in Nara. This is the second time I had visited Yoshino. When I was an elementary school student I visited there for the first time. But the memory of the visiting is already erased.
　In Yoshino cherry blossoms, Japanese cedars and handmaid papers are famous. I want to see the cherry blossoms next spring. The Japanese handmaid papers, Washi (和紙), in Yoshino are called Uda-gami (宇陀紙) and Misu-gami (美栖紙). These are excellent papers, but, unfortunately, the number of paper maker has decrease. Especially, Misu-gami is made by only Mr. and Mrs. Kamikubo now. Probably, the Japanese traditional craft will vanish. I visited Nyoirinji Temple (如意輪寺) and Yoshino Jingu Shrine(吉野神宮).
　Next, I went to Eizanji Temple (栄山寺) in Gojo City. The Eizanji Temple holds Hakkaku dou (八角堂) which is a national treasure. I had investigated the paintings in the Hakkaku dou this June. Finally, I also went to Ryujin (龍神) Skyline again. I encounterd deers on the road, but I could not take any photos of them. When I went home I also encountered Danjiri in Kishiwada. I took photos of the Danjiri as follows.
