【霧の海の季節、到来✨】 広島県三次市といえば、やっぱり「霧の海」。 秋が深まり朝晩の冷え込みが増してくるこの時期は まさに絶好の見頃です。 町全体が白い霧に包まれ、 まるで雲の上にいるような静かな時間が流れます。 霧の海を楽しむなら、まずは定番の高谷山へ。 展望台からは、霧がゆっくりと流れ 朝日が少しずつ差し込む様子を眺められます。 日によって見え方が違うのも魅力のひとつ。 自然の中でゆったりと眺めるなら岡田山。 山の上からは、遠くの山々まで霧が広がり、 まるで海のような穏やかな景色が広がります。 そして登美志山では、 霧の海と山並みのコントラストが印象的。 その日の天気や光の加減で、 まったく違う表情を見せてくれます。 霧の海は、気象条件がそろった朝にだけ現れる特別な景色。 だからこそ、出会えたときの嬉しさもひとしおです。 霧の海が晴れるまでには、2〜4時間程度。 霧が晴れていく風景もまた素敵です♪ 冷え込む朝に、少し早起きして三次へ。 霧がつくる絶景を、ぜひ三次で見てみませんか。 ※写真は過去のものです ◼︎高谷山(霧の海展望台) ※画像1・2枚目 住所:広島県三次市粟屋町 駐車場:約30台 ◼︎登美志山 ※画像3・4枚目 住所:広島県三次市吉舎町安田 駐車場:約100台 ◼︎岡田山 ※画像5・6枚目 住所:広島県三次市上田町 駐車場:約5台

Christmas Wreath Making Onesmanorgarden, which designs and builds gardens, invited garden planner Yuka Sato as an instructor to host a fun hands-on crafting session. What we made was a Christmas wreath using eucalyptus leaves and other foliage. In April we made wreaths from dried hydrangeas, but this time a row of fresh, live leaves was laid out. Surrounded by the scent of nioi-hiba, we first trimmed long branches into shorter lengths. From there we made the components to attach to the ring, glued them together, and tied them onto the ring with wire. We repeated that process over and over until the ring was covered. The steps are very simple. However… from start to finish you have to keep the volume consistent, bundle while considering the balance of leaves and berries, and skillfully fill in gaps so none remain. It really makes you think. Our fingertips turned dark from the leaf oils as we worked in silence, and after about three to four hours we finished a lush, full wreath! Adding gold or silver pine cones and wrapping ribbons changed each piece’s final impression during the finishing touches. Participants took their finished works home and seemed to hang them on walls and elsewhere in their homes. As time passes and they dry, their color and texture change. It was a project that let us enjoy qualities different from dried pieces. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Wreath making #Christmas #Eucalyptus #Pine cone #Handicraft

The Setouchi Triennale had already ended in early November, but my first visit to the western islands of Awashima, Ibukijima, and Hondo Island still felt refreshingly new. Of the three islands, Ibukijima left the deepest impression on me. Ibukijima is best known for the tiny dried fish that form the soul of Sanuki udon broth. However, more moving than any local specialty are the artworks displayed in the island’s unique Idebeya (communal birthing house) ruins—most notably Tree of Ibuki. The Idebeya once served a function somewhat like Taiwan’s postpartum care centers. It is said that when a woman went into labor and the men of the household were out fishing, no one could stay home to care for her. So the community set up a space where expectant mothers could gather safely and focus on welcoming new life. The theme of Tree of Ibuki symbolizes a mother’s womb and a rebirth, a shedding of the old self. The idea is profound, and standing inside the installation, looking out through kaleidoscopic mirrors, the layered views are intoxicating, as if you have entered another soft, tranquil world.

To avoid the crowds, I deliberately visited the Shikoku Pilgrimage’s 88th temple, Okoji Temple, last week to see the autumn leaves. In past years, the big ginkgo in the temple would already have shed all its leaves by mid-November, leaving only an empty courtyard and a quiet atmosphere. This year, however, a warm winter kept the golden ginkgo leaves clinging to the branches, and even half of the green maple leaves quietly turned fiery red, as if draping the solemn, peaceful temple in a warm hue. A gentle breeze sent the fallen leaves dancing, and the air filled with the crisp, tranquil scent of autumn, making me slow my pace and savor the calm and vitality of the moment.

A Few More Places to Enjoy Autumn Leaves 🍁 Today I drove toward the Kuraoka Area 🚘 The peak of the fall foliage seems to have passed, but the mountains around Gokase are now dyed in the deep, late-autumn colors. It’s truly the ‘‘last chance beauty’’ to behold 👀✨ In some spots vivid leaves still remain, and the ground is carpeted with fallen leaves, offering a scene full of atmosphere to enjoy 🍁✨ Why not bring a warm drink and come feel the quiet, beautiful end of autumn in Gokase? With temperatures dropping sharply this weekend, this may be the final viewing, so please come soon 😆

Making soba in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture was fun to make and delicious to eat! We tried a soba-making experience at the National Bihoku Hillside Park 🥢🔥 When it comes to uniquely Japanese food, soba is a must. Served chilled on a bamboo tray in summer and in hot broth in winter, it’s enjoyed year-round. Did you know the National Bihoku Hillside Park in Shobara City offers soba-making workshops? This time, Momoka Matsumoto and Shogo Ikebuchi tried making soba for the first time! Here’s a report on the process and its highlights.
