Trip in Japan: @ Nippara - Okutama

Again, we need some refreshing air, we need to get out of a hectic city of Tokyo to somewhere very nature. On Sep 2nd, we went to Nippara and Okutama, around 2 hours drive away from Tokyo, with our friends. In Nippara, we visited Limestone cave in which the inside temperature is 11C all year long, so it's warm in winter and it's cold in summer, amazing right? Then, we went to Okutama Lake, crossing the Floating Bridge, seeing the nature forest, village, mountain streams, tracking rails, etc. Returning back to Tokyo, we went to Odaiba to see the marvelous night view of Tokyo. Today's theme is just: seeing two sides of Japan, both the nature side and the city side. Both are beautiful! I never say a country 'beautiful', but, this time I would love to say that Japan is really beautiful!
