Brompton brings you anywhere you want to go.
Brompton and I went out for a snow ride in Mt. Hakkoda. Mt. Hakkoda, situated at the northern end of Japan's main island, is famous for terrible snow storm in winter.
In order to ride on the snow road, Brompton was equipped with Schwalbe Winter, a pair of 16-inch stud tires.
Last Sunday I climbed up toward the end of the mountain trail in Azuma Mountain Range located over Northeast Japan to enjoy hot spring which has cured local people for 300 years.
The name of the hot spring is "Nuruyu Onsen". Nuruyu means relatively low temperature water of about 30-40 degree Celsius.
The hill climb ride is supposed to be 9.5 km in distance and 762 meters to ascend.
Last Sunday Brompton and I went to see tulips in full bloom at Akebono-yama agricultural experiment station in Chiba Prefecture.
Akebono-yama agricultural experiment station is famous for a Dutch Windmill and tulips in full bloom in spring.
