Diary
 This was the last day.... cloudy. I decided the destination for today was Mogamigawa River boat. I ran fast for today's first boat. I reached Furukuchi before 9:00 AM. I got on the boat at 9:00 AM. The boat went down Mogamigawa River very quietly. The jokes and songs of the captain made me very softened. 10:00 AM the boat reached Kusanagi. It became fine.
I went back to Tokyo in the sunshine.

Next stage will start from Dewa 3 mountains.

To be continued...Stage 3(click!)




This is the point starting "Stage 3".
