This year we've been more intentional with getting out and exploring more of the world around us,

and today even though it's cloudy, we're going to conquer a small mountain.

而今天儘管是陰天，我們也要去征服一座小山。

To get there, we've chosen to ride the Romance Car down to Hadano

為了到達那裡，我們選擇乘坐浪漫之車前往哈達諾。

where we will get off an ascend the nearby Mount Koubou.

我們將在那裡下車，登上附近的庫布山。

It is pretty glorious, huh? A lot of space.

它是相當輝煌的，是吧？大量的空間。

Riding on these trains is really relaxing

Big windows, lots of space, it's the way to travel.

大窗戶，大空間，這就是旅行的方式。

Normally you can see those mountains over there no problem, but today? A little bit cloudy.

通常情況下，你可以看到那邊的山，沒有問題，但今天呢？有一點兒陰天。

Ah, the Japanese countryside. So pretty.

啊，日本的鄉村。太漂亮了。

I want to plant rice. If somebody knows how I can do the rice-field thing...

我想種植水稻。如果有人知道我怎麼能做稻田的事......

I really want to try a rice-field with my kids.

我真的想和我的孩子們一起嘗試稻田。

So if any of you know how I can do that, please let me know.

是以，如果你們中有人知道我如何能做到這一點，請讓我知道。

There's the ridge we're going to be walking.

那裡是我們要走的山脊。

Here comes Hadano!

哈達諾來了!

We will soon arrive at Hadano.

我們很快就會到達哈達諾。

Ok, shall we go? Let's go.

好了，我們走吧？我們走吧。

Off in Hadano, here we go!

在哈達諾，我們走吧!

Well, there you go.

好了，你去吧。

So it's about a 15 minute walk from the station to the trailhead.

是以，從車站到步道口大約需要步行15分鐘。

And you can even see where we're going up here on the ridge.

你甚至可以看到我們在這裡的山脊上要去哪裡。

And the ridge is supposed to take a couple of hours to hike.

Because this first part just goes up, up, up

And that makes sense, you're walking up the the peak.

這也是有道理的，你正在往山頂上走。

But helpfully, from what I've heard, the rest of it is nice and level and then goes back down.

但有用的是，從我聽到的情況來看，剩下的部分很好，很平整，然後再往下走。

So pay the price right up here, up front.
