Does my last report about a ropeway still been remembered?
Today I tried to ride on the chair lift at Mount Omuro!
I arrived at Mt. Omuro from Ito Station by Tokai bus.
There’re a lot of parks in Ito. It is quite a romantic town.
Green is bright, and grass grows lively.
It is not trees, and why will grass grow? It is some wonder.
Mount Omuro has a conical crater which is formed in a mortar shape.
Oh well, let me get on it now! (Doesn’t it resemble a swing?)
It go up slowly to the top, you can enjoy the surrounding scenery to your heart’s content.
Furthermore, the person with fear of heights can get on in peace because it does not very away from the ground very much.
We arrive at top! Air is refreshing!
You can enjoy the 360-degree large panorama view from Gulf of Sagami to Jogasakikaigan Bay, leading to Izu Highland to Mount Fuji and Hakone.
There is walking trail on the top to view scenery well while taking.
I wanted to take more time but guess it is not possible. . .
It started to rain suddenly!
I had a thought that it could be troublesome to take an umbrella and left it someone. . . Unlucky me…!
The sky over the mountain has begun to get dark, too. As if going to be going to erupt?
Though I was slightly scared, it was great scenery.
When I came back to the lift platform, it already stopped raining.
Shower made green greener and brightened the color of the mountain.
After all, I realized that the natural beauty attracts my heart more than the artificial beauty once again.
