2019.7.31

The last day of July.

I started the day early to attend one day bus tour to Gunma.

Meeting time was 6:50 am at Yokosukachuo.
To my lucky I was seated in the front seat.

First destination was Gyoda city to see the ancient lotus flowers and tambo art (田んぼアート), rice field art. This was the first time for me to see the tambo art directly. There were two pictures, one is the calligraphy of new name of the era, Reiwa (令和). The other was three representatives of Japan team for the Rugby World Cup.

Second destination was lunch and peach picking at Harada Farm in Numata City.

Third destination was Fukiwari no taki (吹割の滝), Fukiwari Waterfalls where I have been looking forward to visiting since I saw the brouchure. It is called Niagara of the Orient. It was so nice to walk along the river which has waterfalls, and across the bridge where we can look down the river.

We were very lucky because after all sight seeing it started raining a little bit.

This tour cost about yen 6,000 including lunch. Peach picking cost yen 750 with three peaches, and to climb up the tower is yen 400  per person or yen 320 for the group.

We came back to Yokosukachuo after 12 hours.

It was a nice tour.
