Trip to Kanto Area (part2) ;

               *This post is the part 2 of three series of our trip*

Our trip was Izu Peninsula in Kanto area. For this post, I'll introduce you 浄蓮の滝 "jyoren-fall" and 黄金崎 "kogane-cape" at 天城峠 "amagi-gap".

*浄蓮の滝 "jyoren-fall"*

*黄金崎 "kogane-cape"*

*Luxurious Hotel we stayed*

So impressed that the flower arrangement at the lobby was already renewed, 

when we leave the hotel next morning.

*The room we stayed the night had private spa besides the big one at the top floor*

*Gorgeous dinner time experienced first time for me*

As this trip was meant to be for the memory of my husband's late aunt, his cousins prepared us high-class hotel.

几帳 'kicho' (dividing screen), which was used to hide the dinner before serving.
And the menu helped us a lot to know what we were enjoying eating.

        About 几帳 'kicho' and the pictures of them;

                      (Hotel and 'Kicho' part is posted;  Japanese culture page)　

Kicho (picture page ←linｋ) is a type of partition of two T-shaped columns lowered silk 薄絹 used in the mansions of the nobility after the Heian era( 8 B.C.).

We call a person who is scrupulous and methodical '几帳面. kicho-men'. This word is originated from the excellent job of the chamfered corners or surfice(面・men) of the cutting edges of kicho's columns. And the meaning of the word shifted to the symbol of the precise job and then started expressing person's characters as well. (hope you get my explanation)

*pictures of our gorgeous dinner* 

And the moon on that night from the hotel for "Skywatch Friday"

Let me close this long post with the picture of Mt.Fuji we saw in the morning before heading the next place. I did enjoy the first viewing of Fuji during this trip♪  (Also for "Skywatch Friday")

           Linking this post to, "Good Fences" and "SkywatchFriday"

Thank you SO much for stopping by and reading this long post
And wishing you all to have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day;

I really appreciate you ALL for the sweet comments I've had. And felt terrible for not having had time to visit you. We brought back about 150㎏ of oranges and was busy bringing to relatives, friends, neighbors. And had a bit of weary feeling after busy days but getting better:-)  Wish to have time seeing dashboard...  Catching up to you soon♪
