Inflated Trampoline in Bousai no Oka Park

La premiere fois que j'ai vu ce genre de trampoline, c'est ici, et pourtant, apres quelques temps, j'ai pu en decouvrir ici et la dans la region. A Chigasaki ou encore dans le parc au pied du barrage Miyagase (enfin, ce qu'on m'en a dit). Ca fait le bonheur des enfants... et meme celui des parents. C'est quelque peu jouissif, surtout de pouvoir profiter d'un jeu que j'aurais aimer avoir petit.

Nogyo Festival in Chuo Park

Chuo park is literally central park. It is placed right in front the Atsugi city hall (hon-atsugi st). The Agricultural Festival was hold 1 month ago (21/11). We do not have a particular interest in organic foods or agriculture. The main event was the Kamen Rider Double show. The performers were not really pro but it as just good enough to please all the kids around.

There was a fruits and vegetable contest. It is sometimes hard to find the best one especially when you cannot taste but I was surprised by the variety.

Christmas illuminations in Miyagase Dam

We went to the Myagase Dam to have a look to the Christmas illumination. We got there by noon so it let us enough time to enjoy the park and the shops around. Many food available in this small village. The bright sun, blue sky and fall atmosphere were awesome. The place was crowded but nothing compare to the night. From 5pm the illumination starts, until 11pm. There are a lot, a lot of loghts with different kind of events : Dance or Comedy performance, train ride around the christmas tree, picture with Santa... A lot of fun in the air.

Merry Christmas

Kids are sleeping so we are about to leave when we start hearing some samba beats. What a surprise to not only see musicians. So much cute dancers in such freezing weather, almost unbelievable. Latin big beats definitely warm up people.

De Christmas - New Year

Hinata-yakushi Reizan-ji Temple

De Oyama, Tanzawa

Back to October. We just wanted to drive around Nanasawa Onsen area. I missed a right turn but instead of making a U-turn, I just continued straight. The road is new. I mean it is an old track but we never been there. Deep into the forest, we just kept crossing hikers and ended on a crowded parking lot. The parking lot of the Hinata-yakushi Reizan-ji. Never heard before but it is a pretty big place, dedicated to the unborn childs. It has a mysterious atmosphere.
