We got to the location of Go & Megumi’s country house…

Tomi was also already there and we soon got to meet Megumi’s farther too.

Megumi’s father on the right with fists clinched
The mökki is basically all in one room, but with mezzanine
What a welcome!!
Misogi Shrine, more on that at https://www.misogi.jp/

Then to see the beautiful Ojiragawa river… but we shorten the visit as it started to rain.

Wine cellar
Design shop just up the road from their house.

2nd May, we went for a walk on the flank of Mt. Gongen (権現岳)…

… or that you are having your Taïs Chi lesson
still in winter mode!
Spring is maybe round the corner!
Not the easiest path..
… so if you fall, just pretend you are looking for sth
Rare site in Japan … a meadow (at least for us and in this part of Japan)
By the look of the slope and vegetation… we are back in Japan!

They get similar mushrooms as we do in Europe:

… Tommi bought beef for super

Another walk …, at foot of Akadake (赤岳)

Utsukushimori Observatory (美し森展望台)

We got to visit a farmer growing rice and ducks !!

Komatsu, Tommi’s colleague and family (she visited France with Tommi)
… fells like the farm is under a motorway to you ???
good water system
meanwhile, far away in the background…

Golden week (just a weekend really) could not end better than with a great barbecue in the open air with friends…

who is driving?
will have to ask Tommi again, for the name of that bird…

Thanks again Megumi & Go, for this great WE at your cottage!
