Something is never nothing, It's always something.: November 2016

Japan Diaries

Konnichiwa !!!

Its quite a long when I am back on blogging !! Life has so much changed in these year, simply a lot..

20^th Nov'2016 at Hamamatsu

It can be declared a day of Cycling, infect another day of cycling. We, (Arup, Gaurav and me) had planned to go for long ride on bicycle !!

Riding cycle was never so interesting as of here. I salute the Japanese Govt/ Ppl for maintaining such a favorable conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. You would be surprising to know that priority in terms of riders …. Cars

Its really surprising for the Indian people.

Weather was good... (I mean ii tenki deshita, ya I have learnt Japanese language before arrival so know some)

We have planned to go to Shitoro Aeon Mall, but plan is just modified just before beginning of the this short trip (not so short considering cycle)

Arup has internet in his cell, thank god as navigation helps a lot here.

So it all started after lunch i.e. around 12:00 O clock. One landmark came in between was SanaruKo (Sanaru lake).

Where Gaurav and Arup wanna to stay to stayed n clicked some pics as always we do !!! Halting for around 10 mins, we moved for next destination which came out to be Shonai lake. Again a beautiful view with serene environment but windy.

After that Hamamatsu Flower park came in our way. Going inside was slightly costly affair and time also didnt allow us to get into.

After that Arup found out a nearby temple Shintoji Shrine, we truly disappointed by looking at it as nobody ya nobody was around. But still can say that man changa to everything seems to be good, thatswhat I felt.

Next place came in our way was Hamamatsu Zoo (places came in way because we never planned to go there :P). Opposite view was so nice so stayed (tomarimashita) n clicked some pics.

After that we reached to a marvelous landscape.. front of HamanaKo (Hamana lake). Dont know but I felt so great on arriving there which is too difficult to express in words. Such a magnetic and mesmerizing view.
So finally we arrived to our final destination Kanzanji Onsen (Natural hot water from gound). We sat there keeping the legs inside hot water (netsu mizu .. little bit of Japanese :P) It was such a relieving experience. We stayed there around half an hour.

There we met with 2 Japanese aunties with whom we talked for a while and made them clicked our pics. They were actually so surprised to know that we have came here by cycle.

There, one interesting actually 2 interesting things happened.

1) Aunty had her daughter too. We heard scolding aunty to her daughter that see these ppl have learnt Nihongo (japanese) for one month and they are expert (joju) and you even stayed in US and New Zealand but still not so joju in English.. haha

2) Aunty told some thing something in Japanese which we cud not understant properly but our Expert Mr Arup made it like... that Aunty has her family in Hokkaido (northern point of Japan) and Pihar in some southern point and she lives in middle of that, at Nagoya.-- (God knows hw Arup made it this way :P)

So it was around 3.5 hours cycling in reaching to the destination. The path was so enthralling.. lots of high and low slopes on which our cycle speed varied from zero to may be 30-40kmph. (taihen omoshirokatta desu ne).

We decided to return back but nearby again we looked to the Kanzanji Temple, nice one.
After that we headed for our earlier planned destination shitoro mall. It was all around dark.

Riding in so dark was altogether a different experience. We were three so did get afraid at all.

We arrived Shitoro and went to pick up store (where I got gud deal of suitcase n jacket) and Aeon mall (huge mall it was).
