there was a point where a lot of water was coming out js for the record (tama hibiki [gem sounding] falls)

conclusion: speleology is hard. i still havent figured out what a limestone cave is. it could be commercial caves arent interesting.

the sign at the entrance said no photography but i js found a review that said they were told photography was allowed

on the other side of the roadway was the Ryūsen New Cave Science Museum, where photography was prohibited.
this was another cave, more academic.

at the end, there was a way back up the stairs to the entrance. do not take video while climbing stairs

the passage was narrow but solid n there were several wheelchair users.

glad i hadnt received my iphone 15 yet i couldve dropped the phone.

seems most ppl visit to see such blue lakes.

seems it was ~15c (59f) near the entrance n ~10c (50f) at the back.

so ryusendo was full of exhibits with no scientific explanation, like this “cave venus.”

the second exhibit “the outline of ryusendo cave” and “bats of ryusendo cave.”

the first exhibition “the abyss of longevity.”

from the entrance to the first exhibition.
the floor was wet. it was cold.¹ the passage was narrow.

¹ the inside was 16 c (61 f) while the outside was 19 c (66 f).

so on sep 25, i went to Ryūsendō Cave in Iwaizumi, Iwate.
the street view below best describes the front of the entrance.

we could learn a lot of literature from animated short films.
such as shakespeare’s macbeth.

when i was little, there was educational software called “Momonga Club” by JustSystems, which included animations such as Shūji Terayama’s “I Want to Dance But I Can’t Dance.”

today i ate soba while watching Takita Yū Rakugo Theater: Toki Soba.

this was an elementary school until 1999 but no longer.
the current building was built in 2007.
there’s a restaurant n a gift shop. the restaurant uses school desks. that’s all. no music room or nurse’s office we wanna stay in.

im an unschooler but i love school. i hope one day to create a true school:
- no teachers - no lectures - no exams - a place for (independent) study - everyone is a girl except for me

roadside station “Mitakai branch school.” its located past Lake Gandō, an artificial lake in Yabukawa, one of the most coldest place in japan except Hokkaido.

i fell off the cliff but was unharmed n took the elevator back. half an hour late i was able to meet my parents.

seems i had cerebral anemia.
i saw the red sign for the womens restroom n knew there was an accessible restroom next to it.

i didnt know there was a restroom on the train.

on sep 25, i almost died.
i had a stomachache n felt sick on the train.

i got off halfway but atm i went blind.
yellow. white. sun.
“huh…? where…?” “restroom…”
oh here it is…

on my first visit to Iwate Kawaguchi Station, i miraculously found a restroom with my eyes closed.
