編笠山へ
主人と長野県八ヶ岳の編笠山に登った。一宮は初夏だが、山はまだ春の始まりだった。登山道に雪も残っていた。山頂では低温と強風に悩まされた。吹き飛ばされそうだった。しかし、景色は抜群で まだ雪を抱いた富士山、中央アルプス、御嶽山、乗鞍岳、北アルプスがはっきりと見えた。この時期の信州の山は 緑の新緑と青い空と雪山の白のコントラストが素晴らしくて大好きだ。8時間の山歩きだった。体はつかれたけれど気分は抜群！
下山して白樺湖と女神湖周囲を歩いたが、多くのカフェや土産物屋が潰れていた。コロナ渦の影響だろう。早くコロナが収束して にぎわい取り戻せますように！

Mt. Amigasa
With my husband, I climbed Mt. Amigasa in Nagano prefecture. Although the Ichinomiya is the beginning of summer, the climate there were just a beginning of spring. We could found snow flakes on the trail. At the peak, we were embarrassed by the low temperature and strong wind. I was about to fall because of the wind. However, the landscape form there were amazing. We could see Mt. Fuji, The middle alps, Mt. Ontake, Mt. Norikura, and the North Alps very clearly. Those mountains have quite lot of snow on the top. I like to see this time of mountains. The contrast of green trees, blue sky, and white snow is beyond the words.
It was 8hours trekking. Although I was physically exhausted, mountains, especially mountains in Nagano always makes me fit.
Descending the mountain, the town of Lake Megami and Lake Shirakaba were desolated. Many cafes and souvenir shops were closed. Probably they couldn’t overcome the effect of the pandemic. I do hope it would be over soon and these people could resume their business.
