散歩道　Walking routes

体力、健康維持のための散歩運動のルートはいくつもありますが、夏日に近い気温の日がある今の時期には木陰ルートが最適です。

写真のルートは自宅から日東電工（株）・尾道事業所への往復ですが、涼しさに加えて、種々の小鳥たちや春蝉の鳴き声を一方の耳で聞きながら、他方の耳ではBBCニュースを聞きながら、往復で約7000歩。

日東電工（株）・尾道事業所は、うんと若ければ働かせてもらいたいくらいに小高い丘の上の素晴らしいこの環境に立地しています。

There are many walking routes that I take to maintain my fitness and health, but the shady route is best for this time of year, when the temperatures are close to summer days.

The route in the photo is from my home to the Onomichi Works of Nitto Denko Corporation and back. In addition to the cool air, it is about 7,000 steps round trip while listening to the sound of various small birds and spring cicadas in one ear and the BBC news in the other ear.

The Onomichi Plant of Nitto Denko Corporation is located in this wonderful environment on top of a small hill, where I would like to work if I were much younger.
