On a Saturday morning, my wife and I visited the Mitake Valley to the West of Tokyo. It took one hour and forty minutes by train. We took the traditional Japanese full-course, Kaiseki Ryouri of Sawanoya Mamagotoya. All of cuisines were so wonderfully delicate tastes. We enjoyed them very much. After taking them, we had a walk along the Tama River, hearing nice river sound, watching wild flowers and watching river. We reached to the Gyokudo Museum, where displayed the Kawai Gyokudo's arts. Also we enjoyed to watch the stone garden. (October 14, 2006)
