A couple of weekends ago my wife and I went on a Saturday excursion to Mie prefecture to walk in the mountains and see some beautiful waterfalls.
The area is called Akame 48 Waterfalls – but there aren’t really 48 waterfalls though there are certainly a large number of them in varying sizes, heights and widths. Some really beautiful weather for our day and the walk was not too hard. I saw a lot of huff-and-puffers we passed along the way, but we walk a lot so we made the nearly 18 kilometers for our day fairly easily.
It was a 3 hour bus ride there, and 3 hours again to get home. That ride back was not so comfortable after all of that walking. Still, it wasn’t too bad and it is always nice to get out with my wife when we get the chance to enjoy a nice, slow time together.
Here’s a link to some more information about the place we visited:

Here is one of my favorite pictures we took there.
