from the mountain

The sky was in a haze, but so bright.
The sight I got from the mountain, yougai-san, was just like the pic. Simply normal.
But what's normal?
Over there, the edges of the mountain range made the space fanned out just like a triangle. The rice fields were reaped and now waiting for the next season.
It took almost an hour and half walk for me to reach this site from the Kofu-station located maybe in that haze.
The yougai mountain is not so famous, but has a certain historical prestige because of the fact that it was used as an artificial fort by the samurai in 400 years ago.
I just needed at least an another half hour walk to reach the yougai-spa from here.
Here was Kofu, Japan.
