Still want to enjoy my life

As it was rained in the afternoon today, it was not very hot. So I took a walk for a while.
To tell the truth, as I had a giddiness 2 or 3 months ago, I stopped taking a walk. But now I don’t have any giddiness though I walk quite a long distance. Of course, I try not to do too much because I’m not young anymore. I still want to enjoy my life some more time especially enjoy nice foods like this.

これが美味い、よだれ出てきた!

Raining now

It is raining all day today. Some people don’t like rainy days but it’s not bad to have a rainy day once in a while.
And moreover rain can cool down the heated streets. I feel much cooler than usual summer today.

たまには雨も悪くない!
ちょっと涼しくて快適です。

Legend Night-crying stone夜泣き石

There is a huge ancient tomb mound called Kawachi Otsukayama Kofun near my former house in Matsubara city.
It is the fifth largest in Japan.

With its shape of bird’s-eye view, it’s called key-hole shaped mound.
It’s believed it was made in the late of 6th century as a tomb for an unknown powerful king like an ancient emperor.

Until 100 years ago, some people had lived in the site.
In those days, there was a legend about a night-crying stone.
It is known that a cellar made of large stones is under the mound.

I understand if wind blows into the gaps of stones, it may make a sound like crying.

Now it is under control of Imperial household agency, so we are not allowed to enter it.

私が以前住んでいた松原市には河内大塚山と呼ばれる巨大な古墳があります。日本で5番目の規模です。上空からの眺めで鍵穴型つまり前方後円墳と呼ばれるものです。古代天皇のような大王の墓として6世紀後半に作られたと思われています。

100年ほど前までは何人かの人が住んでいました。当時、夜泣き石についての伝説がありました。大きな石で作られた地下室が古墳の下にあるとが知られていました。もし風がその石の隙間に吹き込めば泣き声のような音を出す可能性があるかもしれないと思います。

現在は宮内庁の管轄になっているので古墳内に立ち入ることはできません。
