Tokachi Plain !

 by Kazu

It has been five years or so since I had enjoyed a drive without my wife. In a sense, the drive to Tokachi and one-night stay without my wife was an adventure for me.

The scenery from the lookout on the way to Lake Shikaribetsu was rewarding and so beautiful. I felt the power of the land to produce high-quality vegetables.

 But the power of the land was brought by the efforts exerted for decades by the ancestors who develop the fields. It seemed that the lake behind the mountain might be covered with cloud but the sunshine was still so bright.
