【2025 Picking bamboo shoots, bamboo felling and crushing work】
Preparations are underway at the park for the Implementation of Picking Bamboo Shoots again this year.

The day before yesterday, bamboo felling and crushing work was carried out.
Logging work is done to thin out old bamboo and expose sunlight to the ground surface. (Bamboo shoot requires an increase in geothermal heat)

After felling bamboo, the branches and leaves are removed and put through a crusher to make bamboo chips.
Bamboo chips can be made into compost by sprinkling them on the ground. This improves the nutritional status of the soil, which leads to the production of more delicious Bamboo shoots.

Picking bamboo shoots this year are currently being prepared for implementation.
Held in period is under consideration, but it is expected to be "around mid-April ~ early May".
Details will be opened to the public of the Toyooka Tourism Association (Toyooka Travel Time) Home page, so please take a look.

This photo was taken on Kawaramachi Street in Tamba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Colorful and cute bells.
It was a moment when I was able to make a new discovery that bells might look better than wind chimes in the cityscape of Castle Town.

When I was passing by on the Car, I saw a sparkling bell, so I parked my Car at the Car parking lot and went back to take pictures.
I was also able to find a nice café on that street. It was a cold day, so if it weren't for the bell, I might not have gotten out of the car and walked down this street.
When I think about it, I'm very grateful ☺️ to Suzu for giving me that encounter

This is a photo of a cat's interior goods at a café in Sanrazaka-cho, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture.
Use the lights in the store,
I expressed "a cat in the twilight of the sunset".

According to the owner, it is a work made by an iron craftsman in Miyoshi City.
"I like the view from behind, but I can't take a good picture," the owner said.
Squid was able to take this photo ☺️ when I was trying to figure out how to capture it well

The thinness of the limbs and neck, as well as the symmetrical ears, convey that the iron craftsmen are carefully and thoughtfully made.
The skills of Japan craftsmen. I thought it was cool! ✨

It is also a wonderful memory ☺️ that I was able to share my impression with the owner in this photo

Snow removal work will be carried out at the Car Parking Lot in front of the Asahidake Visitor Center.
Therefore, you will not be able to Use Car parking during the above period.

You will better understand the difference between calligraphy as a form of character decoration (caligraphy), which also exists overseas, and Japanese "shodo" (calligraphy).
Calligraphy is a traditional Japanese culture that uses brush and ink to express characters artistically, and is appreciated for its neatness, the way the brush is carried, the shade of the ink, and the beauty of the overall arrangement of the characters.
