One day my host mom told me about a tourist organization in Nishinomiya and this nature excursion they do. I thought it sounded good and decided to give it a shot. For whatever reason, I was really pissed off that day and took many of the bleaker photos you see in the Nishinomiya section. However, once I actually found the group and we took off, I had one of my best experiences. There are all these old rail tunnels about one hour outside of Nishinomiya and this organization does a hike through them once a year. There was a wide variety of nationalities I met on the hike, including people from Australia, Denmark, and China.
An old rail tunnel.
Beautiful and natural.
Tree covered valley.
Nice.
A cool old rail bridge.
Hidden bridge.
I have no clue who, or what, went through that.
Pretty lighting on a path.
Back into the void.
Beautiful path up the hill.
Nice building in the trees.
