Viewing the leaves in Shirakurakyo

On Sunday, our friends Eric and Tomoe came over for a visit. Actually, Eric and I will be taking the same level test in Japanese in two weeks, so we had a study session before lunch. Hopefully we'll be okay for the test. After lunch, we went for a drive up north to see if we could see any of leaves changing colour yet. Ayako and I visited the area two years ago, and it wasn't very busy at that time. This year though, the narrow road leading to the area was quite busy:

There were also nice walkways to get to some nice streams and waterfalls as well:

On the way back home, we decided to try and avoid the crowded road, and so we found a long winding road through the forest going back. Still though, there was some nice lookouts along the road:
