Ohara

Today I cycled up to a small village called Ohara. It was about 11km and mostly uphill. People usually visit Ohara in Autumn as the Autumn colours are said to be spectacular. Nevertheless, a trip there in the snow could be just as interesting.

Once getting there there is a walk up to the famous shrine, Sanzen-in. But I walked on to the Soundless Waterfall - meant as when the Buddhist monks are chanting you are not supposed to be able to hear the sound of the falls. Today it sounded like most waterfalls do.

The good thing about cycling up is that on the way back it is down.
