I finally arrived at Sado Island. Now, I'm heading to the west to see a waterfall!

Here's Lake Kamo, which is the largest lake in this island. Fine weather made this authentically beautiful view.

This is a common view of Sado Island, where a long street runs with rice fields on both sides.

By the way, I used my bicycle to move around the island this time. Cycling is much better to move, stop and shoot in a relatively short distance.

There was a flower bed below the sign.

Lavender.

Marigold in Orange.

Salvia.

Marigold in yellow.

I started running again. The rice field spread all across my view!

This brightness stimulates my appetite...

Rice plants and the sky.

I approached to the rice plants. What a nice view...

I found out this time that rice plants often grow together with Asiatic dayflowers. Is there any benefit in rice cultivation?

I found a cafe named "Inaka Cafe", which literally means a cafe in a rural area. But it was a bit early for the cafe to open... They say this cafe is open from 11 o'clock. I'll be here next time.

I went into the mountainous area. The view from the hill was magnificent. Simply... magnificent.

A river flows from the mountain. The waterfall is in the upper stream of this river.

Lycoris radiata was growing along the river. It is worth being called the flower of September.

Rice fields were available even in the mountainous area like this.

A sign that Nabekura-no-taki waterfall is located on this way.

It was getting harder and harder to run by bicycle.

I stopped my bicycle because the appearance of the street has changed. The waterfall is nearby.

Ohh... the wooden bridge was rotten. I need to be more careful.

I finally came to Nabekura-no-taki waterfall! This waterfall is often used to do takigyo, a mediation by sitting under a waterfall.

Now, let's move on to part 3. I'm going to move around the town and get back to the port.
