Just after sunrise, I stood on Mt. Wagakuni as the city below disappeared beneath a quiet sea of clouds. From the soft white surface, hints of autumn gold and crimson treetops—peeked through like floating islands. As the sky shifted from deep blue to pale rose, the clouds began to glow and for a brief moment, everything felt perfectly still between night and morning.

I relaxed at Maestro in Resona Koedo Terrace, open every Wednesday.
I had a Winter Berry Mocha and a buckwheat and matcha financier. The Winter Berry Mocha combines strawberry and chocolate, balancing tartness and sweetness perfectly. The financier was freshly baked.

In late autumn, roses bloom in a nearby park. They are Mary Rose. They are unbearably beautiful.

Recently, part of Utonai-ko (Lake Utonai) froze over. A swan standing on the ice flaps its wings✨🦢
Roadside Station Utonai Lake, which posts many stunning photos on social media, is open in winter from 9:00 to 17:00.
It offers plenty of delicious local food and goods, so please stop by for a break during winter road trips.
