You see, in order to get to the park, we should take the train called chichibu line from kumagaya station. It takes about 100 minutes from kumagaya to Ohanabatake, the station of the park. But if we start from Yorii, it will take only about 30 minutes. The problem is, the bus to Yorii departs every 2 hours. So, if we miss it, and then we must wait for 2 hours or take the train from honjo eki. And of course, we miss the bus. So we start the journey from honjo station.
Rocker Reyhan on the train. Topi itu fungsinya buat nutupin kuping supaya suara keretanya gak kedengeran, bukan buat gaya :D
We go to kumagaya by takasaki line, and in kumagaya we change train and board the chichibu line. I think chichibu line is a private train, because it's rather shabby, slow and doesn't have the air-con. Thank God the weather is not very hot (I can't imagine travelling with this train in June or July. It must be really hot). Finally, at 10 minutes to 1, we arrive at Ohanabatake.
From Ohanabatake station, we go on foot to the park. It's about 20 minutes walking-distance. When we get to the park, there are so many people that the park seems small. Well, actually, it's not as big as I imagine, so add that to our surprise. But the view is wonderful, and the color is definitely my favorite (ungu.....). We had a nice time taking picture and having a picnic there.
The Untoros in the park
Very nice, aren't they? (although it doesn't smell as nice as it looks)
The journey back home, however, is by bus. And it's much faster and cheaper too. So next time we go there (we want to go to nagatoro, which has a very nice view and offers a ride at the river), we would definitely take the bus.
