Surpriseshine!!  Snow covered mountainsnow!! Did you surprised thatsign02
Last week, I went to Komagane in Nagano prefecture with my family.happy01
Nagano prefecture is north from Shizuoka prefecture where I live.
We went over a mountain road to Komagane city,it takes about 4 hours we didn't use highway this time.rvcardash

Komagane city at the foot of Komagatake(mountain) and high mountains, there is many people  come to tramping and climbing the mountains also enjoy skiing in the early summer season.snowboard
・・・・our plans are here, have fan with view of snowy mountains while driving a mountain road and enjoy Oncen(hot spring)spa at the Ryokan(Japanese style hotel), so just we were easy going to short trip to here with our kids.note

However!! 
a beautiful mountain is there!!!shine in front of us!!, why we shouldn't climb!? why not!?happy02
This first photo↑↑↑ is indeed proof of we did it,yes we decided to take aim at top of the Komagatake,we went through with we wearing light clothing next day morning. I took that photo at the top of mountain,its 9,698ft(2,959m).

We don't climb by foot. we used a rope-way to top of the Komagatake.↑↑↑There is bus terminal to get the ropeway terminal.bus We should catch the bus because there is a restricted area expect exclusive buses for the environments safeguards.
(It is about 4000yen:US$43.00 for round trip bus and ropeway)

This rope-way is the first one at the mountain in Japan installed 40 years ago or more.
It is more high speed than the expectation because it moves on the about 2km in seven minutes and thirty seconds.subway dash
That was really fun and we could see a wonderful view from in the rope-way.eyeshine

It was about ten degrees at the top of mountain its a wonder why not melt snow.
We walked on the snow with sandals that was a rare experience and we had enjoy a fresh and cold air to the full.good

Do you know what is famous food in Nagano prefecture? It is ''Soba''(Japanese noodle made from buckwheat flour).
One of the condition to making Soba is cold and clear waters its melted snow. also good land for buckwheat too. these are here,so we had lunch at the Soba restaurant in the forest.xmas
This restaurant is making soba by handmade that was very very delicious.delicious

After lunch, we found mysterious one on the way to home.eye
There is narrow mountain road,but many cars and buses. we wondered what are they doing at  the here, I think about fifty people was there and sitting. we couldn't any specialize things at there.but the other day, I searched what was thatpc then figure outflair,that is famous spot for spiritual(氣:ki), Bunkuitoge(a mountain pass).
I don't interest in spiritual power but lots of people visit there to feeling the big power of 氣(ki).
