Blooming season

Today, I'm comming to Chiba with some of my friends.

During this travel, I'm planning to many places to enjoy animals and
the nature.

First of all, we went across the Tokyo bay, and went to the parking
area named "umi hotaru", this is the only parking area in Japan that
is floating on the sea. There we enjoyed the sea breeze, and the sea
around us for 360 degree.

Then, we went to "the mother farm". There are many animals like sheep,
goat, pig, duck and geese. Also there are many spring flowers
blooming, so beautiful!

Then, I went to "the Nokogiri mountain". There the mountain is famous
for the temple on the mountain, also very large statue of Buddha.
The scenary was so nice, we can see Yokohama beyond the Tokyo bay from
the top of the mountain. There is one interesting thing with it. This
is that the wall of the mountain is just right to the ground, 90
degree, also the wall was flat, very artificial. The reason why the
mountain is that , from Edo era, the mountain is famous for cutting a
stone for some buildings. Because people cut the stone frome the
mountain, the walk is artificially flat. The stone is used for the
Yokohama base, Yasukuni shrine, and Waseda university.

Then we drove a road full of flowers, named the flower line. But
actually, this year, there are very low temperature days, so the
flowers were not so many as we have expected.

And this travel continues to tomorrow...
