Holiday today, so cleaned up the cave and went for a walk. Lots of people around since my place is a tourist spot, but stuck to the quieter areas. Saw a brown praying mantis stumbling around a bit. He must have been cold too. 
Gate to someone's house. The Matsui residence.
Red, green-yellow and orange Japanese maples. The small dark entrance is the start of a forest trekking trail. I went in for a bit, but it's supposed to be a 3 hour affair so will do it next time.
The trail would bring me right to the border of the next prefecture (Shiga). The board gives information on the wildlife (birds and animals) that you might see on the trek. There are apparently deer, racoons, and wild boar. Lucky no bears since I live next to the forest.
