Today we visited a place called Mojimi Yama (or Maple Leaves Mountain Park) in Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture. The place is located within a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute drive from Shiso City Office. It is listed as one of The 100 Best Maple Leaves Viewing Places.

From Himeji City, it took us a 70-minute drive up north to reach the place. It was our first time to visit there, so we didn’t have a lot of expectations. In fact, my husband who’s been living in Himeji for 60 years has never heard of it before. We only became aware of the area after hearing about it on the radio the week before our visit.

We arrived there early in the afternoon, and stayed there for an hour. We were delighted to see such beautiful autumn scenery Below this entry are the pictures I have taken during the trip. I cannot think of any words to describe the beauty of Mother Nature.
