I was looking forward to visiting the park since Kaily talked about it in the morning as we don't have many old growth forest in Japan because of its geographical feature and weather. And I just thought it would be nice to take a walk through the forest in such good sunny day.
So we arrived and had a very healthy lunch, two sandwiches, slices of watermelons and some strawberries. After that I took some pictures of beautiful nature there to show them to my parents who are waiting for me to come back from Canada in Japan. I was surprised how every trees were so tall and how there were only few trashes thrown away on the ground. Because like in Mt. Fuji, the most famous mountain in Japan, people have been throwing so much trashes while they are climbing. I thought Canadian people are very eco-friendly and Japanese people should learn to be more environmentally friendly.
On the way to the river bank there was a long suspension bridge and from the bridge we could see a deep canyon and a river flowing in the middle. But I was too busy to be scared of hight and couldn't really see the canyon.
We went down some stairs and hiked for about 20 minutes and finally arrived to the river bank. There were many people swimming and jumping off from a small cliff. We weren't allowed to swim so my friends and I took off our socks and went into the water. The water was freezing cold but pleasant at the same time. I had so much fun that I didn't even care about pebbles that were hurting my feet. There were some rocks that had thin moss on them and they were really slippery so we had to be careful not to step on those kind of rocks.
On the way back we did more hiking and I felt like I was in one of those fantasy movies like Narnia. I absolutely loved it.
