Yamanobe no michi – March 7, 2023
Activities: We started our journey at Sakurai Station. The walk normally finishes at Tenri Station, 12 kilometers later. But, with our 1 kilometer per hour when we're geocaching, we stopped halfway and took the train to Tenri
Highlights: It's a magnificent walk winding between forests, plantations, temples and villages. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the temples, and the shops selling oranges, homemade sweets, vegetables, and pickles. The kids were motivated to find the most interesting "miam-miam box" ✨
