Biei Full of Flowers

I was visiting Biei again. Now it was full of flowers, especially lavender in full bloom. The weather was not so good; sometimes I was caught in a shower. But I was able to enjoy a three-night travel very much, because there were unexpected encounters with several people who are deeply attached to Biei. They were kind enough to take us to some places by their car. I had borrowed a bicycle to go around Biei town and hills. Just riding a bicycle to a pension on a hill had made my knees quiver. This wasn’t how it was supposed to be.
Fields and crops on the hills are what farmers raised with loving care. We can enjoy eating freshly-picked vegetables at lodgings.
