• Cycling: Suwa’s Ginko Tree

  

  Ginko trees (inchō・銀杏), along with momiji (紅葉) and persimmon (kaki・柿 – not to be confused with the other kaki meaning oyster) make for a staple of the Japanese autumn.

• Hiking: Nakatsu River & Kuroizawa Trail ・中津川 & 黒井沢登山道

  

  Back in 2003 I had a tiny company car and no idea where to ride my mountain bike as I hadn’t long moved to the Nagoya area. So I pulled out a map, looked for the mountains, found an area that looked promising (at the end of R363), and consequently found myself heading out to…

• Japan: Hirakata-san & the Tokuyama Dam
