Yasu-kun took me out for a change:)
First Night Zoo ever!!

Maybe it got dark and cooler, so animals seemed bit lively than usual.

It was nice to see a different zoo at night:-)

In a botanical garden,
we hit by lantern display from Mino City.

What a great coincidence!!

That was the same what we saw in March!!

Botanical garden's one was better,
since it was in the actual night.

Gentle light and paper. can make people relaxed, I believe.

We had late dinner at cafe in Motoyama which Yasu-kun's friend recommended.

Of course, it was very nice and stylish:-)
We talked a lot lol
Here is Rumi-chan again.
At this time, I brought Fuse-San together.

What a wonderful and happy time with friend I like tons.

Travelling, job, OBT talk lol....
girls never stops!!

They make me so relaxed and I can have smile again.

I love Bell all the time:)




One of my desired destinations is now completed!!
That's 立山黒部!!

Beautiful pictures got my hearts for a long time.
Long and complicated transportation make me away from there.

This time was a perfect timing for us Team Acti部
for practice of mountain climbing.

Mt. Fuji challenge is coming soon,
then we thought we should get used to the high altitude.

At the start, it was like travelling.
Coming by 黒部ダム, on the special tram, bus and aerial trainway!

The closer to the top, the colder it got!!

Arriving at the terminal,
mighty wind and fog surprised us a lot.

We went on trail for 30 mins to the lodge without any eyesight lol

It was nice accomodation with nice meal and relaxing spa.

At the dinner time, we talked a mountain guide
and he taught us how climbing is fun.

It was quite funny that he recommended me to change a job.
According to him, I'm cut out for mountain guide lol

Hummmm, it can be very good.
I've got to think about it seriously lol

It is interesting that he pointed out that
I'm the captain of that team, haha.


In the early morning, our party started to hit the peak!!
The weather was not so good,
but it was okay because it was not raining anyway.

It was first time for me to walk on the ice.
And I guessed that I got a little bit Altitute sickness.
Or it takes me for a while to be ready for climbing
like the same situation at伊吹山.

Talking about other mates,
Chiharu got some problem with her knee...
Poor her..

After all, we climbed very slowly and
finally stoon on the peak of立山黒部、雄山!!

I loved the second half with huge rocks!! Yay!



I love climbing because...

-I can believe nothing is impossible.
If I would be in the daily life,
I wouldn't think that I can be on the peak like that high.
But we can do it!
Then it can be replaced to my life as well.
I can believe I can overcome many difficulties!!

-I can just concentrate on climbing.
So I don't have to think about something troublesome.
A.k.a I can be away from job!!

-I can feel freat nature just beside me.
The views from mountains are amazing!
Weather, flowers, Sun, Rocks...everything gives me power!
It attracts me so much.

-I can meet a lot of lively people at mountains.
They are always very helpful and welcome us.
I love to talk with them!!
Smile and greetings encourge me.
They tell us that they are happy that
many young people like mountain nowadays.



Next destination is Mt. Fuji.

We will definetely beat it!!
