After I finished writing yesterday, I really wanted to go for a walk.
After having that lovely walk with Hannah the other week, I've been wanting to go out more, just to see this area and enjoy the nature.
Yesterday was cool as it had been raining on and off all day, for me, that is good walking weather.
I asked Christopher to go with me. We headed out, but as soon as we got to the road, it started to rain. I thought about turning back, but we had umbrellas and the rain wasn't that heavy!
I'd seen a tori gate, which is the entrance to a shrine that I wanted to check out. I had an idea that we could get to the shrine from a back road, instead of walking along the main road. So off we went on a little adventure!

| These signs are everywhere, marking out a walking course in this area. |
We walked along this road for a while. It was nice and quiet, a chance to see nature.
 |
| These might be persimmons. |

We couldn't find the shrine, but we found an old burial mound, built in the year 600!
Just a short video of the burial mound.
This is the big tree that is growing over the burial mound.

| Beautiful, majestic tree |
Christopher had my phone to take photos and video, I should have known he would take one of me. Not flattering at all but this is how I look.

| The fat foreigner |
It has given me more incentive to try and lose weight!
On the way back, we came across these plants. Again, I have no idea what they are, but I love this color.

| The color didn't show up very well, but it's a very light, smoky green. |
We headed back the way we came. I think I walked about 1 kilometer, it was hard but I felt very good after!
