After breakfast, I sat in the forest for a while, drank all the free coffee, green tea and black tea, and it was afternoon before I knew it. I packed my backpack and went down the mountain, planning to walk by the lake.
The shops with great views by Lake Kawaguchi, especially on the north shore, all closed very early, as if some monsters and beasts like Inosuke would come out after the sun went down. I think they don’t even need to install lights in the shops because they work from sunrise to sunset. Anyway, there are not many street lights here, and these shops are only open when you can see them, including this bakery called Lake Bake that I have collected for a long time.
Two o'clock in the afternoon is the warmest time of the day. In front of this building with a bit of ancient folk house style, I was attracted by the strange wood carvings in the small courtyard next to it.
A gorilla swinging on a swing. A gorilla hanging on a branch with one arm. A gorilla with two masks wrapped around its ears.
A dog looking up at a gorilla. A dog using a mask to compare its face with Saito Asuka.
A bear slumped on a rock. A bear that looks a bit afraid of heights.
A rabbit split in the middle.
Something that was used to dry mats.
One of them leaned against the other, while the other avoided it with disdain.
