Tarui Town Daytrip

Tarui Town Daytrip
Tarui is a small town between Ogaki & Sekigahara. I`ve passed it a few times on the train on my way to Sekigahara or the Japan Sea coast, but this was the first time I`d stopped there.

Just 5 minutes` walk from the station is the picturesque little Ai River, with well-maintained grassy parks on each side. This was one reason I wanted to visit Tarui - I always thought that the river & the parks looked so nice from the train window as I passed.

Not only is the river only 5 minutes from the station, but there`s also a McDonalds nearby - very convenient! We got our lunch there & ate it at a park bench near the river.

It was very hot, so we only stayed a couple of hours, but I might return another day, maybe by bicycle & without Owen, so I can explore the surrounding area (the base of a forested mountain is just 1km away).

If you live around here & you have a kid who`s crazy about trains, or you just want to explore a scenic little town, I recommend taking the train to Tarui.

Can Owen throw the stepping-stone? Then, it isn't the stepping-stone, but I don't know a correct way to call.
Anyway, your plan sounds fun. I expect to your Tarui trip report. The photo is so beautiful and cool.
