The thermometer at Lake Ashi read 2°C.
It started raining just before the meeting time.
I tried to look a little worried, but I like dark, cold, quiet lakes.
The participants arrived before the scheduled time and everything went smoothly.

​

There were some kayaking beginners, but they were able to paddle at just the right speed. We were lucky that there was no wind.

This year, the leaves started to change color early, in early November, and most of the leaves had already fallen.

Only a few trees had leaves and were waiting for our visit.

​

There were only a few tourist boats going back and forth on the lake, so it was very easy to row.

The pork soup with ginger that was prepared the day before was delicious and warmed my heart.

​

This time too, "Mr. I" opened an outdoor cafe,

​

I also enjoyed a cup of coffee and spent some relaxing time. Finally, we took a group photo at the torii gate of Hakone Shrine.

​

Thanks to all the participants, this tour was a safe and enjoyable one.
Thank you everyone!

Let's enjoy Kiritanpo hotpot in Hayama this weekend on December 5th!
