By car, we got to a place between Kinomoto(木之本) and Takatsuki(高月) on Hokuriku Main Line(北陸本線).
Traffic jam on expressways made us reach the place later than scheduled time. Now that it is in the middle of summer vacation, we have to accept it as it was.
After that, I went to 'Kita-Ohmi resort' to take hot springs and eat lunch. This is often the case with my family in visiting northern district of Shiga prefecture.
In the afternoon, we headed for a place between Kawake(河毛) and Torahime(虎姫) on Hokuriku Line(北陸本線) to take pictures of C56 again.

We went back home immediately, and was able to avoid traffic jam on the expressways.
