As usually a month before Christmas Japan covers by illumination, even if it's not really a holiday.
Midtown tower park was not an exception.
Whole field was covered by thousands of animated LEDs.

Shinrinkoen and kudamonogari
Went for kudamonogari (fruits harvest) with my colleagues. That was somewhere in Saitama near Shinrinkoen station on Tobu tojo line. Walked through gardens and farms a while. There is nothing to explain, so I put photos as slideshow.
We came at 12pm and finished at 2pm. One apple was around 100yen. Then together with bags with apples we went to Shinrin park, which was about twice further than apple garden.

Kamioka
This trip happened more than 2 years ago. Ralphmirebs called me and proposed to visit small abandoned miners town somewhere near Toyama, or, more precisely, Kamioka district of Hida city, but Kamioka looks like it's own town.
We went by night bus to Toyama first, but we had no much time there and I could not find anything interesting near the station for photo. We spent around an hour waiting for the first morning train to the south. At 8:30am we got to train station in Inotani village, the station and the village were about the same size.

Fuji 6
I have almost my own tradition, every year climb mt. Fuji. This time it was the 6th. I don't do it alone, as Fuji itself is actually boring, so I found one guy on Internet. This time I decided to use simplest route from Subaru line gogome (go-gome is 5th station)
But I could not do it as planned, it became too crowded, probably because of UNESCO. Usually I could easily buy ticket for bus going directly to Subaru line gogome just 1 hour before departing, but this time next available bus was after 4 hours, also we were warned about traffic problems. So we just took train, it's actually more expensive and slower than bus.
But happened something very unusual for Japan, trains on the line we needed delayed for more than 40 min.
Somehow we got to Kawaguchiko line, our last transfer. The car was full of children paintings of mt. Fuji.
