One day travel
My friend and I was invited to another friend house in suburban Tokyo. I guessed she was a big landowner's daughter, even she'd been never proud of it. My guess was correct. She lived an huge Japanese traditional house and her farther bred huge Nishikigois ( Big colorful carps for ornamental use) which I've heard the one carp is worth a Benz car (I don't know which class.). Her farther talked about Nishikigoi with enthusiasm, and we knew my friend's farther was a winner some award as a Nichikigoi breeder.
After visiting my friend house, we went to Hitsujiyama Park in Chichibu where located the west of Saitama prefecture. We had famous Soba noodle for lunch there and went to the park to see a big bed of small flowers. The park was on a hill and we had small hiking and the weather was fine and it was fun.
