On this August 24 and 25, we left Lake Suwa, stopped at Shirakawa-go(village),and went to Takayama.
We passed through the Japanese central spine of mountains, and visited a big lake, an old folk house, and the old town.
This time, I introduce the scene that we saw while we went round Lake Suwa, went along Azusagawa(river), and got over Hida mountain range by a car.

On this day, it was overcast weather, and light rain occasionally.
However, I had a comfortable driving, because there wasn’t dazzling sunlight.


今年の8月24、25日に、私達は諏訪湖を出発し白川郷に寄り、次いで高山に行った。
私達は日本の中央の山脈を抜けて、湖や古民家、古い街並みを訪れた。
今回、私は諏訪湖の一周、梓川沿い、飛騨山脈越えの景色を紹介します。

この日は曇りがちで、時折、小雨が降った。
しかし日射しがきつくなく快適だった。
