Sakegawa waterfall trail


This is our most recent outing. It is a very pretty hike through the mountains along a small river with many streams running into it. We picked almost the perfect time to go because the colors were so nice. However most Japanese now think we will have an overenergetic baby because crystal did a 40 min forest walk while pregnant. The first picture is just at the trail head. There was no one else there and apparently there are a lot of bears around here so we were always afraid we'd run into one. When we got in the car to leave and started driving out the dirt road, 2 Japanese girls in their 20s saw the our car coming around a corner and screamed and ran away. We talked to them and they said they were scared of bears too and thought we were a bear when they first saw it. So it was pretty fun for us. The second picture actually at the waterfall. Unfortunately we positioned ourselves wrong and blocked the waterfall. But its not that great of a waterfall and we thought it was a good picture of us so we'll put it up anyway.
