The equinox always seems to be a divider. Traditionally we've been in autumn for a while now, but the equinox is when you start to feel it. Afterwards the temperature starts to drop. Seeing the higanbana appear is also a sign autumn is truly here.
Anyway, great photos! I had my honeymoon in Atami many many years ago. Beautiful city. It used to be considered one of the best places for vacations. That was long before I took a honeymoon there, which also was a while ago now. Those ryokan are great, many with onsen areas somewhere on their property. Lots of stairs and climbing in the city... but that just makes for good exercise, ne? Walking along the waterfront, did you see the statue of the fellow kicking the girl? (It's a scene from a famous book) That used to be a landmark used to meet people.
!PIMP
It's starting to get colder now so Autumn is really here, but I'm still sweating when I go out sometimes so for me, it's not yet fully Autumn. 😂 That's my indication the season has changed hahaha
I like Atami so much! Beach and onsen and so many ryokan - they are just perfect for a quick getaway. Lots of climbing - true, if I live here, I will be forced to exercise. I like walking but not climbing. 😂 But still, I like this place.
I can't remember anything like that. I might have missed it! What book is it? Now I'm curious.
Here's the statue:
It's a scene from Konjiki Yasha by Ozaki Koyo. You can read a brief summery of the story here
Thank you! It's pretty popular. I tried looking for it in the maps and so many people had their photos taken in the statue.
I got now why I wasn't able to see it. I was not walking in this area. I was walking in the beach so I failed to see the famous statue.
The story seems interesting. It's just sad the book wasn't finished.
You must be killin' it out here!
@dbooster just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @wittyzell.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/2 possible people today.
