With Kaori we prepared some bento ( picnic ), wrapped in traditional way using a leaf from Getto.
Then went for a walk in the mountain behind Oohama’s rice fields.
An abandoned road goes a long way up, we even get a nice view back on the rice fields and Kazushige still clearing the evacuation water canals…
But soon enough the road gives way to a path and to thicker and thicker jungle.
Not knowing what we were to expect, we gave up after reaching a small pass.
Still we got to see some amazing nature.
Next day, just the two of us went for some caves that had been roughly pointed out to us…. the description as to how we would find the way was somewhat vague but with details. We got a good cycle to reach the start, and a walk in forest for about 50’…
Then finally found the caves and when done, we realised they were only 4′ from the road, just a bit further down from where we first started.
On way back we bought some pineapples from one of these self service shelves on the side of roads.
And went for the very touristic star shaped sandy beach.
Just as we were reaching back home, in the village we saw a strange looking bird… shy but not ready to fly away… just running away. When asking the farmer, they were not sure what to call it!
