日本の滝百選に選ばれている払沢の滝を訪れてきました。駐車場に車を停めてから滝までおよそ 1km の道はせせらぎが聞こえる川沿い、木のチップが敷き詰められていて歩きやすい道でした。今日も猛暑でしたが、滝の側は涼しく、とても気持ちが良い空間でした。近くのカフェはエアコンが効いた室内にクルミも入れたので助かりました。窓際は満席でしたが、そこからは川のせせらぎが見られるようです。美味しいランチをいただきました。暑い日なのでクルミを連れて行くのは気が引けましたが、やはりみんなで来てよかったと思います。
We visited the Hossawa-no-taki Waterfall, which has been selected as one of Japan’s top 100 waterfalls. The approximately 1km path from the parking lot to the waterfall follows a riverbank where you can hear the babbling stream, and it’s a comfortable walk with wood chips laid on the ground. Despite the scorching heat today, the area around the waterfall was cool and provided a very pleasant atmosphere. The nearby cafe was a relief with its air-conditioned interior and they even welcome Kurumi. Although the window seats were fully occupied, it seems you could still catch a glimpse of the river’s babbling from there. I enjoyed a delicious lunch. It was a hot day, and I hesitated to bring Kurumi along, but I still think it was great that everyone came together.
