It was 38℃ (100.4°F) today, but my husband and I went hiking together. I walk eight kilometers (five miles) every day, and I love walking. We went to Mino to see a great waterfall called Minoh no Taki. Since we moved to Osaka, we'd heard about the place, but we'd never been there before. It was our first time, so I was excited to see it in person.

We walked along a winding, uphill and downhill trail through a forest. We sweated a lot, but it was so much fun.

The sky looked a perfect blue and the forest looked a perfect green. The contrast was amazing.

As kept walking, we saw a waterfall in the distance.

It was worth to see even though it was extremely hot and humid. The view was just breathtaking. I'd never seen such a dynamic waterfall before.

When we stood near the waterfall, we wet from the splash. It made us feel a bit cool down and refreshed, so we just stood there to listen to the water falling sound. It was a wonderful experience.

We saw lots of Japanese maple trees everywhere, so we've already decided to go back there in the fall. The view will be spectacular then.
