Akiu Waterrfall - Miyagi

2010/08/06

With a height of 55meters and the width of 6meters, this waterfall is one of the best hundred waterfalls in japan.
This is also categorized as one of the three gushing waterfalls because of its speed. It was beautiful and wish we could go down to its foot. But , recently it has been prohibited to go down there by the Sendai Municipal Council.

Miyaei bus is the only source of public transport and lack of buses is a real problem. We had to run for the last bus and missing that last bus at 18.03 would leave us alone in that lonely area with no means of travelling back to Ayashi. The entrance is free and wish we could enjoy more time there.

    hey i`m doing fine..no tsunami as I live inland but the earthquake was terrible..
    Had a good shake and ran out of the building with only keys and phone in hand.. was scary and never gonna get over this for a while..
    and were out of light and heat for nearly 12hours..
    So sad to add that all the places in the past posts posted from November to this month were seriously affected by the massive earthquake and tsunami.. Because they were all located in Sendai, the closest city to the epicenter.

Onabe - Japanese Hot Pot

15/05/2010 It was after spending the evening at Thai Festival 2010 in Yoyogi,Shibuya. The dinner was decided on "Nabe" at a shibuya chain restaurant of Japanese hot pot. I have always loved nabe. I have had shabu shabu hotpot, sukiyaki hotpot and seafood hotpot at Japanese houses and this was the first time I am having it at a restaurant. So I thought of sharing some moments of the supreme happiness of eating Nabe - the Japanese hotpot. Beef, eggs and the vegetables  The whole table of ingredients for the Nabe in one shot Shabu shabu and sukiyaki on one hotplate finally you dip the boiled slice of meat in the "tare" and eat. This chain restaurant is in Shibuya and limitless "tabehoudai" for less than 2000yen. Good service and loved the meat.   All Rights Reserved.

Nishizawa Gorge - Yamanashi

2016/11/03     "The dullness around fails to hide its Full Glory ." Nishizawa Gorge is located in the very west of Yamanashi, close to the boundaries of Saitama and Nagano. Arakawa River flows through Chichibu mountains creating the Nishizawa Gorge. It is a hiking course of 4 hour walking along the river through muddy trails in the woods watching the river falling , flowing and gushing towards the city. Along the way we come across bridges and waterfalls. Too bad I could not capture any of the bridges but managed to capture the waterfalls which will be posted under a different post. .   It was November and the mid Autumn.  The water level was low and bearably cold. Here is Arakawa river flowing down the rocky steps through the stones. We walk up the river trail while the river flows in the opposite direction. The trails are narrow, and muddy at some parts. Some parts are safe guarded by metal chains and some parts are not. A little missed ste...
