My long long journey is going on and on......
It's called Nakasendo's journey.

Nakasendo is a very tasteful road. It's road is a old Japanese atmosphere is kept. For example, old houses, landscapes. They are very beautiful. I always watch them with deep motion when I go to Nakasendo.

I've been to Nakasendo in last month. I took many pictures of beautiful landscapes.

A Carp
In this area, a carp is a specialty of this area, Saku city in Nagano. I ate a carp boiled and seasoned.
It was so so. It's a little salty and fishy. But, if you go to good cooking shop, a carp boiled and seasoned is very very delicious. A good cook makes good carp cooking.
