Trip To Waterfalls

Tanada(terraced rice fields)

Mum and I went to see two waterfalls called "Yoshitaki" and "Saruo-Daki" on Wednesday. The first one is preserved in the natural condition. I mean the nature is just it should be. There's only a path to the waterfall. It's really muddy that my jeans and shoes were covered with mud. :-P The rocks are covered with moss, leaves are kinda red already. It was so peaceful to walk there even though it was tough.

The trip from home to the waterfalls was quite long. We got a car navigation system and attached it to the car. In first 30 mins, it didn't work as I didn't connect cables properly. When I figured it out, we were already in Toyooka, the city 25 mins away from home and finished re-filling gas. lol The system tried to choose big, wide road all the time. However, we chose narrow shortcuts!!! So the system kept ringing like "You're on the wrong way. Return +++ metres, plaese". We ignored until we settled on the agreement. It was just before turning the last corner to the first waterfall.

After the corner, we kept going straight and spotted the terraced rice fields called "Tanada". The view was just amazing. We didn't expect we'd be able to spot them in such a place, so it was a real nice surprise. :-) They're in the middle of mountains, so in the winter, no one can get there because of the HEAVY snow. So we were lucky. ;-)
