In Yokote City, Akita Prefecture, farmers set up tables and chairs under the grapevines in autumn, creating a space to enjoy food and drinks. I casually call it the "Oktoberfest." Under the bountiful grapevines, children munch on grapes while adults enjoy a drink accompanied by sweet potato stew and pickles. Speaking of grapes, Yokote is also a major grape production area for large wine manufacturers. Moreover, it is the home of the renowned sake master Yamauchi Toji, making sake truly exceptional. Additionally, it is the top producer of hops, the main ingredient for beer, in Japan. Indeed, Yokote is the perfect place to enjoy wine, sake, and beer. Why not experience the Oktoberfest in Yokote this autumn?

When I went to visit the graves during the equinox, a frog emerged from the gravestone. I felt grateful for its presence, as it must have come out to greet me. It touched my heart. On my way back, I called out, 'I'll come again!'

Yugawara - Fudo Falls A waterfall surrounded by trees, quietly accompanied by Fudo-san. The light filtering through illuminates the greenery, with only the sound of the waterfall echoing. A serene scene encountered in Yugawara. Location: Fudo Falls, Yugawaramachi, Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa Prefecture.

I'm relaxing while looking at the Kawagoe Station Tourist Information Center. It's a pumpkin soup cappuccino and a sandwich with two types of chocolate and butter Starbucks baguette.

【Delicious Autumn Marche】 How was your Silver Week? I enjoyed some delicious food at the Nishiokoppe Marche held at the Roadside Station "Kamu"! For two days, on September 20th and 21st, there were various food stalls and a children's festival, featuring locally grown vegetables from Nishiokoppe Village and used books for sale. The first thing I tried was tempura of yamabe and udon. The udon already had vegetable tempura on top, but adding the yamabe tempura made it even more satisfying. Then, I shared some Ezo deer balls with an acquaintance🤤 This dish contains stewed deer meat instead of octopus in takoyaki. It's a must-try for those who love flour-based foods. Next to that tent, I got souvenirs from the super ball scooping and candy fishing. At the vegetable sales booth, there were pumpkins, leeks, and many types of potatoes for sale. It was fun to imagine what they would taste like once cooked while choosing them. On the second day of the marche, the Meguru Honya Nekoze made its debut with used book sales, making it a lively autumn marche📖 Although there were times when it rained heavily, thank you to everyone who came out. We look forward to seeing you at next year's spring marche! #Nishiokoppe Village #Marche #Kamu #Roadside Station #Stalls
