Japanese November 26-28: Autumnal color in Tatsuno city |
|
I visited my mother home in Tatsuno City. I stopped over at Himeji I used to visit in my young days and walked around Miyuki arcade. | |
Himeji Castle is a national treasure of Japan and one of the world heritage. I had visited the castle many times as well. | |
The castle is sometimes called "White egret castle" due to its view from afar. The design of the manhole cover was just like that. | |
I changed the train to Kishin line at Himeji and got off at Hon-Tatsuno station. I crossed Tatsuno bridge by a taxi. My dear old small hill Keirousan welcomed me as usual. | |
November 27: Autumnal color viewing. | |
Shuentei garden was in its best. Many picture takers enjoyed the beautiful color. | |
I walked down to Tatsuno castle. | |
Tatsuno castle is a small palace of a local feudal lord. Even cherry leaves turned into red color. | |
Tatsuno is famous for soy sauce production. The soy sauce museum attracts many visitors. | |
I enjoyed good products of Belgium. | |
November 28: Walking around the small town. | |
Shuentei garden was shining beautifully in the late autumnal sunlight. This was the best shot point. | |
My mother prepared us Japanese traditional tea with a simple ceremony. | |
Yesterday, I bought a new digital camera. I tried its various function today including video taking and close up. | |
Today's lunch was very big for me. | |
Now, it's time to say good-bye to my daughter-in-law. She headed east and I got on a Shinkansen train to west. | |
The Shinkansen carries us to Kokura station in two hours. | |
I arrived at Oita and took a simple dinner of "dumpling noodle." | |
This is the first
movie on my homepage. It was taken by a digital camera, not by a video camera. |
