It's has been raining.
I went to one day trip to Suwa Yokoya Onsen (諏訪・横谷温泉). It was the invitation trip by the supermarket I go to once a week. Last year I went to the same kind of trip to the Lake Kawaguchi (河口湖： kawaguchi ko).
It started at 6:30 am and ended at 8:40 pm. The total distance was more than 500km. There were 2 buses. We stopped some service areas before arriving at the destination Yokoya Onsen (横谷温泉). Onsen is hot springs. Japanese people really like hot springs. There was an open-air bath （露天風呂： roten buro）too where we could see the beautiful green mountain and hear the sound of river.
After taking the bath, I went to see Otomedaki (乙女滝), the waterfall named Maiden which was very nice.
We visited Suwa Taisha (諏訪大社), Suwa shrine too. There are more than 10,000 Suwa shrines in Japan but here is the head of them. Every 7 years they have a big festival called Onbashirasai (御柱祭), which happened to fall this year. Please check the following site.

I enjoyed the trip very much. It would be much nicer if it was fine though.
