Third on November was holiday in Japan. I went to Gokanosyoo to see the yellow leaves on business. Gokanosyoo is located at Izumi village in Yatsushiro city. I went there with a microbus, because there are narrow road there, then we can't go there with large-size bus. I took 17 people with me. We guess it is far from Kumamoto city, but we can get for one hour. It is not far than I expect. It was very fine third on November. First I went to Sendantotoro, it is waterfall. That size is 55 meter. It is selected best 100 waterfall in Japan. Now it is best time to see the yellow leaves. After that it is lunch time. Landlocked salmon is popular at Gokanosyoo, off course we had it has been sprinkled with salt and broiled, seiro of it and handmade dish. Normally we can't eat these dishes in Kumamoto city. It was novelty and good taste. After that we went to Momiki no tsuribashi. Tsuribashi is suspension bridge. Long tome ago people who lived in there used to crossed it. Now it is for tourist. Next we went to the museum. There is a popular of Heike no sato at Izumi village. Heike is the people who controled some of Japan about 1200 years ago. They fought with Genji at Dannoura island, and they lost the battle. Some of them run away some place in Japan, one of the place is Gokanosyoo. we can see their history there, also I could see the beautiful yellow leaves. And we went to Umenoki todoro, there is a waterfall. We had to walk about five or ten minutes from parking, at first we had to cross the suspension bridge, which length of the bridge is 116m, the height is 55m. That is the longest bridge in the bridge which isn't used any prop and supported ropes.After the bridge and I walked about five minutes, I arrived at the waterfall. After that I stopped to have a break at Nihonnsugi, it is place where there are two Japanese sugi. Now there are just one, because one of them was broken by thunder. people lived in Gokanosyo used to have a break and have a lunch there. I can't believe in the place like this in kumamoto.
