I went hiking on Mt. Mimata in Oita Prefecture last Saturday. It was the first hiking I have done in a long time. Actually I had not hiked on mountains for long since I had my third heart trouble and terrible foot pains in October of last year. My doctor told me to refrain from going on a hike in the higher elevations, but I could not resist going this time and seeing the fall colors on Mt. Mimata. As you see in the pictures, Mt. Mimata was covered with stunning red and yellow leaves. Unfortunately it was cloudy that day, but they were the most beautiful colored leaves that I had ever seen.
When those pictures are enlarged they are absolutely gorgeous! See...I told you I wanted to visit Japan in the fall season!
