Horned Moon Village

After we had left from Japan Snake Center, 

we have gone to Horned Moon Village 

be located next to there. 

JSC was on the mountainside, 

HMV was on the higher area. 

there was on nearer at the mountaintop. 

This board was front of gate.

What big rate I couldn't believe! lol

一文百円 mean about "rate of 100 yen against the mon.

Mon(文) is correct coin of Edo Period.

Even nowadays is rate of less than 80 yen against the dollar,
rate of this is 100 yen against 1 mon!

The map is just like Edo Period.


When I stepped at HMV,
There was the tea house in front of our eyes.

We had eaten only viper hamburger without rice in lunchtime,
I was worried about big appetite of my uncle.
I ordered large helping of Soba in the house.

We had been waiting at leisure in doors.

This interior decorating was elaborately-built,
and location was in the forest,
we enjoyed feeling of being Edo Period.

Pyrethrum coil in the fireplace made attractive atmosphere.

We had received♪...................... 2 Sobas. orz

I had ordered "A large helping of Soba, please. "（；m；）

Meh, 

a assistant mightn't think we didn't order only one soba 

despite we were 2 visiters. 

But, when I said "a soba, please," It meant "a soba."! 

I gave half of my soba to large helping of his soba, 

and I ate a little soba. 

The tea house was so nice & cozy that
we had some time off after eating.
So we had 1 hour by closing time. (Oh, no!

When left the house,
we came up against cosplayers!

They were becoming very much and belong the place,
so I asked them to let me shoot photos.


Subsequently,
we tried 4 attractions.

First is Caving!

There was a variety of interesting work in this cave, 

we couldn't get moving if didn't catch out them. 

It was very dark under foot 

so we rent a electric torch and went into there. 

This is one of works. 

A nondescriptive household altar was.

If you stand on a white step and clap your hands twice, 

the household will move to right and you can go exit. 

Next is a aslant warehouse. 

It was over aslant. lol

It was very hard for us to move from end to end. （；△；）

Next is a warehouse of mirror work.

I felt something is wrong as soon as 

we went into there "What is in this warehouse? ".

When touched top of my head,
I was struck in my hand by something rigid.

Ke"Oh! Enigmatic something is in my head!
　　Hey! Please break down it! "

Uncle"Oh.......Aw......... I can't do. "

(Ke；◇；）R, really?! 

I had no choice, 

so we went back a entrance of attractions 

and I asked to a front desk elder woman. 

Ke"Something is on my head. "

She"Hmm, what's? Oh! This is it!" 

Ke"What is it? What is on my head???? "

She "This is a phasmid. 

　　You are alright because this insect doesn't bite.（^v^）"

Ke"Heh........ Is that right? （；o；）

　　Um, I want you to break down it. 

　　But please take a photo of it by my cell-phone before do. "

I passed my cell-phone to her. 

Children of other guests were converging on around me 

during I was yelling about 

"break down insect " or "take a photo of insect ". 

"Oh! Is this insect? insect? chuckle. chuckle(^▽^)"

"No! How yucky it is! "

"Why do you break down it soon? What are you doing? "

S, shut up children! （；◇；）

Grown woman is prone to think 

"This happening is big news in my blog,

 so I should take a photo. "

at the same time cry out 

"What a disaster is that I am infested with insects. "

Leave it! lol 

She was raw to manage a camera of cell-phone, 

so missed 3 times to take a photo, 

finally succeed at do the 4th times. 

Then I got her break down it. 

I had a dread of this insect when can't look it,
but It was informidable looking this photo.

What children gave me the gears was not matter.

And, we had our fill of Karakuri Yashiki(a house full of tricks)♪
It was so interesting that I neglected to take photos.


After enjoyed 4 attractions,
we went into the background of village.

This was high-quality reappearance of Edo Period too.

There were a water wheel & other tea house.

A shop woman of this tea house gave us barley teas,
we were talking with drinking.

Then, we started back entrance.

The uncle & his niece hot down a really steep slope.

We had a good time.（ー▽ー）ノ

JAPAN SNAKE CENTER

I went to JAPAN SNAKE CENTER 

in Gunma Prefecture with my uncle.

After we eat viper hamburger,
Owner said.
（Ow・△・） 
"Today is very hot,
so vipers in the cage of grassland may hide shadow area.
You can go and enjoy 3 glasshouses. (^v^)"

"Thank you & That was a delicious meal!"(・ω・Ke)

At the beginning,
we went to the glasshouse of the tropic snakes.

We found this when stepped second floor.

Many objets & stationary articles of reptiles in there.

On the 1st floor,
Many cages of breathing snakes were side-by-side. 

Hmm.
There is a crocodile.
Where is any snake? 

Oh, it was here.

He might be noticed by people as former criminal.

This boy in next cage.

When I aimed my camera at him,
he assumed a good posture.
This photo is best shot of that day!

But..............

He was the former criminal too! lol

awful...... awful........


Next,
we went into the glasshouse of poisonous snakes.

We heard children's scream from inside
at the point of taking this photo
(in fact, before we went into this house). lolol

How dreadful are snakes in this house were?

It's so beautiful......

He(or she?) had beautiful large dark eyes. （●ω●）

Only mouth is very cute.（・ω・）

As they say "Snake has triangular head is poisonous snake. ",
in such a sense, this boy has verisimilitude!

Mr. Cobra!!!!!!!! 

Furthermore, 

he looked over me poking up his head 

when I aimed my camera at him! 

What a nice service!

Snake is the animal eats so little,
they catches a meal once or twice a week.
Some snake would eat only once every few weeks.
They tries not to move as much as possible
when they don't hungry.
If they gets hungry,
they are set into motion with murderous intent.

So moving snake is very dangerous.
Especially cobra is. lol


A snake dips his body in the water.

It was hot day the day.

There was snakeskin of Anaconda on the wall.

Is that 5m?! (about 16 feet) Great!!!

At last
we went into the glasshouse of dragon.

The cage of grassland was in front of the glasshouse.

How commodious it is! 

They might hide because it was so hot, 

It is enough commodious for them to move about freely. 

They can never go out of this big cage 

because this fence is crocked inward. 

Now then, 

the glasshouse of dragon. 

Sea snake emerged from water. 

Married couple of snake. 

You had gone too far in deposit your eggs. 

The cage of tortoise was too. 

Tortoises aren't feed, are they? lol 

After we bought some gifts for our family, 

we left from Japan Snake Center. 

I made merry myself, 

I wonder my uncle amused himself. 

Viper Hamburger (Note:Gross

I went to JAPAN SNAKE CENTER 
in Gunma Prefecture with my uncle.

After I inquired at reception as to viper dish,
we were given a restaurant on the 2nd floor. 

We saw hamburger, spitchcock, roasted viper
and more were on the menu.

Keima"Which dish is easy to eat for the first? "

Owner"Of course, is is hamburger.
It is difficult for the first to eat drawing off
many bones in spitchcock & roaster viper. "

Ke "Well, 2 hamburgers, please.
I can't much dish,
so I want my hamburger to 松 course.
He can much dish,
 so his hamburger is 梅course, please."

Ow"OK (^v^)
You came at good time!
Now viper's spawning season,
so you can eat to not only viper's meats but eggs. "

When brought out it,
he showed us viper.

Ow"This is it's fangs♪
This is it's belly, feel it.
It is many eggs in there.^ ^" 

(Ke；o；)"Wow! How flabby!
It is sort of belly of Mantis. "(close to tear....

He was opening 2 vipers with cleaver smoothly.  

At first,
Vital Blood(liver in). Red shot glass♪

Ow"I put a few drop of alcohol in it
　　try not to congeal blood.
　　You can finish one glass it♪
　　Because it isn't simply smell fishy.（^ω^）
　　It is a liver in the bottom of glass.
　　Please drink it without biting the liver so acerbic."

It didn't surely smell fishy,
and it tasted like boiled Soba water.
It didn't absolutely taste like blood.
I felt a little acerbic just passing top of tongue
without biting.


At this time,
my uncle's expression showed a desire to drink. lol

Ke"Um, a viper sake to him, please. "

Ke"Do you pickle this viper in distilled spirit for plum wine? "

Ow"Not really. It is not so easy to add a nice taste. "

　　We can't drink it without pickle it in over 70 alcoholic proof over 3 years.
　　This viper sake have been pickled within 20 years, so strong.(^w^). "

He drinks distilled spirit below 10 alcoholic proof at other time.
He looked likely to be difficult to drink it even with weaken a lot.


When owner finished to open 2 vipers,
he showed us eggs before cocking. 

Ow"If you had come sooner season to here,
　　you could have eaten beautiful egg. (^ ^)
　　Now,
　　viper cub became figure of viper in this egg.
　　Here. This black body is viper cub.(ー∀ー)

(Ke；∀；)For real!
　　　　　Figure of viper forms in eggs.
　　　　　We will eat this from now lololololol!


After Owner have disappeared into kitchen,
we were waiting tremulously to dishes were delivered
hearing the sound baste something. "bang! bang! bang! "
((((゜д゜;Keima))))　((((゜д゜;Uncle)))) 

Viper Hamburger was delivered. 

Ke"Um, rice please.
　　His rice is extra-large helping. "

Ow"Er, I can make rice at only next dining hall.
　　That dining hall closes on business days.
　　I can only cock viper today, sorry.（＞ω＜）"

...........If viper hamburger have taste brackish,
I would stowed a generous amount of rice
with it in my mouth to eat all fooling its taste.
But this presumptuous breakthrough got cold. orz

This restaurant have given us the highest-quality service
that sate only viper without rice! ＼(^o^)／


(Ow＞∀＜)ノ
"It is easy to eat this,
because I crushed its bones and put them in hamburger.
Eggs were fried, livers were raw.
Be my guest♪"

We were eating them
hearing Owner's history that he had lead with viper.
It seem that he likes viper as large as life,
he glows in his eyes when he talking about viper.

"I have lead a life with viper during 30 years,
I have had 7 times to be bitten
and 2 times to brush with death. (^◇^)
So I had taken antitoxin 2 times.
There is not any potion to kill poison of viper,
I have nothing to do but take antitoxin my body.
But serological reaction(they say life-threatening) may appear,
I can't just take it. "

Ke"It's a job. "

Ow"This is the photo when I had life-threatening.^v^
I had admitted myself to hospital at that time.
It was very beautiful & cleanly hospital,
and I thought that's why all inpatient were only women.
As a matter of fact,
it was obstetrics and gynecology department. lololol"

When didn't finish eat all still,
we were showed a photo that his body was become swollen,
so our appetite died down.

My appetite died!＼(^o^)／

It was anything but taste brackish.
We were pretty new in this taste.


Hamburger is resilient of bones,
and match luscious source.
It seem to be excellent with alcohol♪


Believing owner's good word,
I took a tentative bite viper egg.
Velvety food texture feel like eat soft toe &
sweet taste feel like eat the yellow of an egg
were mouth-filling.
Except, my tongue steady felt
figure of small snake fall out from egg,
startle of the moment was deep（；∀；）


I feel most uncomfortable to eat liver.

Ke"I am bad at liver.(>n<)"

Ow"It will be all right!
　　It is easy to eat it so soft unlike porcine liver.
　　Please take a tentative bite it.(^▽^)"

Size of this liver is very small that I can eat it in one go.
I have a fear of irredeemable taste,
so I couldn't try to tentative bite.
But Owner was blithe & get-tough. lolol

Whatever happens happens! Snap!

.............He was absolutely right.
Naturally, I should take expert's words.

Liver of viper is tender, easy to bite,
and sweet taste as well as its egg.


I became partial to its egg & liver by having a bite.


I was getting used to taste of its hamburger at last
when eat the last of hamburger.

(Ke；ーωー)=3
Belch....That was delicious meat!

Ow"It were viper's soap stocks in source & hamburger.
Thin down it and drink, please.^ω^
Do low pressure good♪"

He added hot water in our dishes.

(Ke・△・）Really?!
I'm bothered by low pressure!

Ow"So you should attend this restaurant periodically.^^"

.................Great!


I & my uncle were full stomachs.
My brain was obsessed with  information of viper.
We left the shop after dub in.

We could catch a meat in a joyful way
by grace of Owner's character.

We couldn't eat half of them
without his cheerful amiable character.


Preconceived idea is not good（；◇；）

Unshaken Black Cat

I teach how to draw or paint to nearby children
on every Saturday.

By teaching,
I do only that
when I show one case of painting to him,
he paints his picture in imitation of my example.

If he decides my painting is not for him,
we think other painting together.
It's very interesting
because I can steady painting I didn't notice before.

In the recently painting day,
Tango(6 YRS,♂) didn't get out on the work table.

He occupies on the centerpiece!

Don't get in my way! lol

When I gathered him up in my arms
to get him out of my way forcibly,
he scratched top of table by fastening the table
digging his nails into it.  orz

As a result,
I got a student moved to the edge of the work table
to draw a picture.

Tango didn't leave from his favorite price at any price.

Tsk(-m-;)
