*But listen, all you good kids. Yes, playing in the river is fun. It is very fun. It is so much fun that even we adults forget ourselves and enjoy it. However, we must never forget that nature is both fun and dangerous.
Be careful around the area and take safety precautions (wear floats and life jackets, stay away from rocky areas to avoid getting caught, etc.).
People can drown even in shallow waters. I don't know if I should say this, but if you underestimate nature, you will die for real.
Well, so much for uncle's sermon time.
I'll check the water temperature in a bit.
"Mnh!" Thump! Ow! Chibetai!
It is quite cold. I will have to equip myself with a water purifier next time and taste it again. I will drink and drink all the water I find clean and tasty, not only at waterfalls.
(By the way, when I told an old man in my neighborhood that I like to drink water from waterfalls, he said, "I see. (Incidentally, I said to an old man in the neighborhood, "I like to drink water from waterfalls. There are beasts in the area, so there could be E. coli. So I'll be careful!)
Incidentally, from the riverbank, we could look up at the bridge we had just crossed, 70 meters above our heads.
After having had more than enough fun at the river, I decided to go back the way I came.
However, it was a tough job, and we had to climb 70 meters up again. It was quite a challenge.
By the time I finished the climb, I was sweaty, out of breath, and har-har-zing.
But highly recommended for a very nice healing space. I really wish I had brought some rice balls with me. It would have been great to sit on the rocks, eat some salted rice balls and sip some tea. If possible, miso soup would be perfect.
Come to think of it, I have yet to enjoy "rice," "miso soup," or "freshly brewed tea" in nature. Since there is bancha (green tea) in this area, I would like to boil water from a spring and sip a cup of hot tea.
Well, that's all for this issue. See you in the next update. Have a good day. I'll see you soon.
