Yesterday, I took a trip deep down into the Mountains of Kyoto Prefecture. A post from Jay Klaphake sparked my interest. It showed a picture of a field of Yuzen Chrysanthemum in the small village of Kuta. I've been in that area before, and I know it's pristine and beautiful. I drove on NR 110 that runs past the Hisata River. Soon it will be the Obon holidays, and a nearby campsite was inundated with tents and campers enjoying the River. A little further is the village of Kuta and my destination. The Daiya River runs next to the tiny road, and some parents were fishing with their kids. Not so many people around, and guess what, "no masks". I suppose so deep into the countryside with no one around.
