Soba-ba-ba-ba-ba!!!!!
I went on a cycling trip to Soba restaurants settlement in Yamagata Village, and tasted soba noodle at five different soba restaurants. By the time I left the fifth restaurant, I was completely full, and the subsequent uphill climb was incredibly difficult.lol

To the former Natsuyaki settlement
People began living in Natsuyaki in 1595, and this continued for 420 years, but the last resident left in 2015. We can reach 350 meters before the settlement by bicycle, but we have to walk the rest of the way.

Short trip in southern Hamamatsu
Hamamatsu is a place associated with Tokugawa Ieyasu, but the old things in the city center were destroyed during World War II, and now only place names remain as remnants of that era.
I used to live in Hamamatsu, so I feel a sense of nostalgia, but I wonder how…

Narai to Shiojiri via Airport
Even popular tourist spots during holiday season are pleasantly uncrowded in the early morning (though the shops aren't open yet, haha).
I dislike national way with a lot of traffic, so I avoid them as much as possible, but today I was almost attacked by wild monkey on a mountain…

Hanamomo-no-Sato (very many flowering peach blossoms)
The area becomes extremely crowded when the flowering peach blossoms are in full bloom.
The road from Hirugami Onsen, which is about 8km long and not so wide, is constantly congested with vehicles, including buses. Therefore, please exercise extreme caution when cycling to avoid collisions with cars.

Going to meet the Kissing Dōsojins
I heard there are three Kissing Dōsojins in Azumino, so I went on a sightseeing cycling trip to Hijiri Highlands while visiting them.
But, my tire went flat again this week, just like last week. So sad.
And Kissing Dōsojins... well, they are quite shocking!
