It was cool in the morning. 

I was rather busy at this time of the year and I overworked for two hours.

At lunch time five of us went out to have a small farewell luncheon at a Dog run restaurant. This was the first time for most of us to go there.

After coming home I had a quick supper and walked to the station and headed for Yokohama.

I am taking a night bus bound for Kansai.

I got up early and made two rice balls and walked to the station.

It was cloudy when I was at home but started raining when I headed for the station.

I went to the JR Kurihama station and bought Seishun 18 tickets for 5 days for yen12050.

I took trains from Kurihama to Okazaki via Ofuna, Atami, Hamamatsu, and Toyohashi. I got together with cousins and relative and visited a shrine and a temple. I could see a waterfalls too.

We had dinner and visited the relatives' house, and I met another relative.

After that my cousin took me to Okazaki and I headed for Nara via Ogaki, Maibara, and Kyoto. 

I checked in the hotel at midnight.

I was glad to have a reunion.

It was fine and hot. Extremely hotdays compared to the average years.

After work I had quick supper and took a bath.

I did homework and submitted.

Around 21:40 I left home and walked to the station and took a train for Yokohama.

Meeting spot is different as usual.

Now I go to Osaka to visit EXPO for the 4th times. Tomorrow I may see some colleagues from EXPO 2005. It's been 20 years! Unbelievable!

To my surprise my seat was booked double.

2022.3.19

It was a cold cloudy day.

I left home before 8 am and headed for Kyoto via Shinagawa.

This time I could not book the general reserved seat, therefore I got a green-car seat which was spacy and very comfortable by being served wet tissue.

I could not expect to see Mt. Fuji because of so many clouds, but fortunately I saw the Mt. Fuji.

After arriving at Kyoto I changed to subway and at the terminal station I happened to see a friend, and at the bus stop we met another friend.

We arrived at Kurama around 13:15, and we had about four hours Reiki seminar. There were eleven participants and an instructor in total.

Dinner was so nice. I really liked the dessert presentation very much.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It was cloudy.

I made rice balls for lunch, left home around 8:30 am, and headed for Shinagawa to get the Shinkansen at 10:28 bound for Kyoto arriving at 12:32.

I went to the hotel first to leave a luggage, and headed for Fushimi Inari Taisha (伏見稲荷大社) shrine. This is the second time for me to go there. Last time I did not have enough time to climb up the mountain. 

Today I have spent there for more than three hours.

There were so many shrines there. They say there are about 30,000 Inari jinja in Japan, and It is the head shrine of all the Inari shrines throughout the country.

I got tired and decided to have supper at the hotel.

It was a nice day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

2020.3.19

It was fine and warm.

After work I headed for Tokyo station to get on Shinkansen.

Many people often mentioned there were a few people on Shinkansen or at the airport.

But mine was full of people.

It took four hours from Tokyo to Shin Osaka by Kodama, and I took subway and Keihan train to get to hotel.

It was midnight when I checked in the hotel. There were three presents.

I felt lucky.
