I caught rainbow trouts

We went fly fishing at KUROYA(fishing hole) in Gujo, Gifu prefecture.

In KUROYA, encircling two ponds, it features mountains and streams from which you can enjoy beautiful views of water and surrounding foliage.

I hit a big one! 

We used thin fishing line, so it took ten minutes to land this one.

Finally, I caught it! I took a picture and released it. We truly enjoyed the fishing here.

 

Toyama trip

The other day, I went to Toyama to catch up with my old friend T. We went to the same college and used to go surfing and snowboarding. 

It's a superb view of the North Japan Alps.

Toyama-city runs street car. 

We had a dinner at Japanese pub in Toyama-city. 

The fishes straight from the sea tasted soooooo good! We talked about old days and updated each other.
But the next morning, waves were too small to surf. So we were hanging around the city and skateboarding in the large park.

And we had curried rice for lunch at GO!GO!CURRY!. It's very heavy but so good! There are two stores in NY as well.
I feel I am so lucky to have such a good friend who share the good memories...thank you for your hospitality T! I am looking forward to go surf with you next day!

Spring has come. The cherry trees are in full bloom now. I hope my knee recovers soon. 

My First 7k Running

I got a pair of running shoes. The brand is Adidas,"Adizero Boston3" for beginners. It has wide last, so it really fits my feet.

I ran 3k and climbed Mt.komaki(86m), and more 3k. Running makes me feel great, so I would like to work my way up and participate in a full marathon next year. 
ランニングは気軽にできていいですね。来年のフルマラソン参加を目標に続けてみます。

津〜伊勢神宮 / Winter riding

It's already December. I feel like that I just got into 2012 though. Time fries doesn't it?

We had a winter ride from Tsu-city to Ise Jingu. We started out from friend's house in Tsu. And we could ride with the wind, so it took an hour and a half in 50K. Relaxed smile!

10:30am, many people were there.

And of course, we had Ise-UDON. It was a simple, but so delicious. 

Someone's cool bike; Derosa Neo-primato.

The whole way back, the strong wind was against us. So we took three hours! It was so hard!

津から伊勢神宮まで行きましたが、行きは1時間半、帰りは3時間！かかりました。冬はきついかも。
