One of the 100 selected water falls in Japan is Fukiware no Taki Water Fall in Gunma prefecture.
It is a U-shaped waterfall with a height of 7 m and a width of 30 m.
Being called “the Niagara Falls of the East,” the water dynamically flows down into the basin.
There is lovely hiking right around and above the falls.

The Manazuru-hanto Peninsula is situated in the southwest of Kanagawa.
We went to Manazulu peninsula in Kanagawa prefecture on this monday.
First of all, we parked our car in a parking next to Nakagawa Kazumasa Art Museum.
We asked a woman, in a front counter in there, where the entrance of the forest and she gave me the map.

There are 5 trekking trails in the forest:
- Shinrin walk
- Ohayashi walk(a shortcut to Manazuru cape)
- Uotsuki walk
- Banba walk
- Shiosai walk

We took a stroll along the Shiosai walk to see a 300 years old big black pine.




















We found some big ones of the others...














Even in a parking lot.
