# KOHO-CHI (11) <tr.> Site Proposed No.11 MERIT    There's shade.  As it is hill, the view is good. DEMERIT  there's a factory making Hot Melt adhesive.  That's why the view is spoiled.  I don't like the smoke.  The ground is wet.  So there are many mosquitos (I got bitten five). Chestnut woods on the hill.  There are 8 big chestnut trees and 4 chestnut saplings. It's aboiut 100 meters from KOHO-CHI (10). Mood of houses around here is very good.  I heard there's a place where Katakuri (a plant) is.
I saw a man fishing AYU (Japanese river trout) in the river (with a pit). He is a son of an old woman who gathered dry grass for me (NAKAMA-SAN). He served me SOBA (buck wheat noodle) and YOKAN (sweet jelly made from bean jam) in his house. And we drove together. The ex-branch school yard where he recommended doesn't have grove and it's dreary. He visited SASAKI-SAN.  A person in charge of KOHO-CHI (10) with me. SASAKI-SAN answered "Yes, it's o.k.". After that, we went to eat UDON (a kind of Japanese noodles).  But I ate SOBA, and it was boiled too much.  AKIYAMA-SAN treated me. When I went back to my tent, I smelled compost.  I found a night-soil reservoir full. I moved toKOHO-CHI (10) like pressed by sunset. I ate AYU at NAKAMA-SAN's house.

# KOHO-CHI (11) <rep.> A Year Later When I went from KOHO-CHI (10) to here, It began to sprinkle with rain.  This sketch book was borrowing from Okuda-san.  I must go around the rest 2 KOHO-CHI in a hurry as it was not good to get wet with rain.  I had left only confirming from under there.
I took a photograph from the road of this side.
