Second heaven...

- Never Stop Dreaming -

On Sat last week, I went on a road trip with the staffs of Elementary school, went to a place by the name of Akiyama-Go which is like 1200 metres above sea level. Winding mountain roads along the cliffs of a fantastically "painted" scenery of yellow and red autumn. With the peaks of the mountains hidden in a soft, light fog, I reached a secluded place which is tucked deep in the mountains away from civilization. Here, a soba restaurant and an open air onsen is all nature could offer but that's really enuff...I felt like I was in heaven for places like this have ceased to exist at least for me.

After the best soba lunch I had in my 26 years of my life, I enjoyed a relaxing onsen, blown away by the mystic charm of this place. Went pass Shiga-Kogen on the way back.

Literally the entire experience could be described as, "Rise above the mountains only to decend from the clouds" (登上山 峰、从天而降).

Will update the photos soon.
