After sea kayaking & pilgrimage route hiking, we got down the “Kitayama” river from “Doro kyo” gorge to Ogawaguchi, about 9km.
It was good to be on the fresh water after enjoying salty water, enjoyed some training at the current.
We also went to Yunokuchi Onsen by tiny tram that used in the coal & copper mine after we set the camp.
We hiked Kumano “Kodo” pilgrimage route from Hosshinmon to Kumano Hongu Taisha grand shrine.
Also we enjoyed meditation “Zazen” in Fukujuin Temple at Fushiogami. 
Everyone got nice sticks on their shoulder, it was fun to watch.
Day5, We left the Camp at Atashika beach, paddled to Odomari beach return, about 18km,
had fun at the rock garden and caves.
We moved to Yunomine Onsen in Hongu after paddling.
We visited & tried Japanese traditional dram “Taiko” last night, put some cultural experience in between kayaking.
It was heavy rain last night, southern wind was still blowing in the morning.
But we already knew the paddling skills of all them, 
so we started paddle toward to Atashika beach, finally we paddled about 35km.
It was fun paddling for me, nice swells, waves, landscape and good kayakers together.
We paddled from Furusato to Oyama Ura, about 23km.
We got nice south- west wind so surface was a bit interesting & exciting that was good for everyone.
We stayed “Oyama House” hostel to avoid the rain.
We got on the water, start paddling from Kowa Ura to Furusato beach, 23km.
We went through lots of caves and rock garden, it was fun to paddle.
Our friend Terra Santa Kayak Expeditions come over from Israel.
I and Take Shibata “algaforest” are going to guide them for 9 days till 18th.
We visited in Ise shrine at first, then moved down to Kowa Ura that is a starting point for 4 days Sea kayaking. 
お隣の畑の桜の木、
近所では一番早く咲くのですが、ここのところ鳥がよく来てるなぁと思ったら、「実」がついていました。
見事な「さくらんぼ」です。
地主のおっちゃんも採らないし、近所の人もスルーなのできっと「訳」がある筈です。
これは鳥に任せましょう。
Gidday,
A couple from Australia.
They are experienced kayaker, so I decided to put in at “Doro Kyo” gorge, took them 2days stretch.
It was good to be on the water, such a nice weather.
家族が増えた。
今までの、13歳男ミックス、12歳男黒ラブ、7歳男スタンダードプードル、5歳男ジャックラッセルに
スパニエル系と思われる男の子が10日前にやってきた。やってきたというか国道端にうずくまってるのを「保護」した。
どの子も保護した子や、保護されていて僕らが里親になったことで家族になったんやけど・・・。
彼は歩くのもやっとなくらいに痩せ、下痢もひどく、いたるところに長い毛玉をぶら下げていたけど、
口輪を装着して胴体の毛玉を切り、首輪とリードを着け、投薬治療で下痢も治まってきた。
GW明けにはワクチンを打って、まだ取れていない耳の毛玉をやっつける予定。
本当に「かわいそう」という前に捨てた飼い主に憤りを覚える。
