Photographed 12/15/24. After the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival, I relaxed at the Starbucks Bell Ring Street store. On Sundays, it is crowded. It's a gingerbread latte and a chocolate cake.

I installed 😍 a kit wish fulfillment ema We collaborated with KitKat a few years ago (Kitto Line) and installed the ema that was installed at that time again this year! !️ When you come to Highlands, please write your wish at Takaharu Station! !️😝 Ema will be firmly dedicated at the shrine ⛩️! I did a little research on "about Ema"! ⭐︎ Unlike fortune tellers, "Dedication" ⭐︎ Vertical or horizontal writing is fine. ⭐︎ Since it is a request to God, it seems that it is better to write that it will come true. ⭐︎ The name can be either initials! Actually, it seems that it is better to write Address and Birthday, but there are many people who do not write it now because personal Information leaks. ⭐︎ There is no problem if you write several wishes on one ema, but it is preferable to divide them according to the content of the prayer. ⭐︎ It seems that it is okay to dedication ema to several shrines and temples with the same wish. I can't say that this is correct because it is what I researched, but it seems that if you remember Roux, your wish will come true more! 😍 Please stop by Takaharu Station to write ema, ema fee is free! !️🤩 Location: Takaharucho Tourism Association (Takaharu Station) Address: Miyazaki Prefecture Nishimorokata District Takaharu Nishi Foothills 473-6 Car parking is available (free)

【Snow-covered Miya Forest】 Over the course of a few days, the depth of the snow increased in the Miya Forest. While assisting the tree education project promoter, I took a short walk in the Miya Forest. I walk, drenched in snow, burying my feet in boots. If I were alone, I would only look at my feet. When I looked up after being called out, I found a bud of flowers and leaves. It has sprouted and is waiting for the long winter to pass. A gaping hole in the trunk. I wonder if anyone lives there, or if they did. I was told that the reason why the Todo pine tree is cracking is because of the "freeze". The water in the tree freezes and expands, causing the trunk to crack. It is said that when a crack appears in the trunk, a clear sound reverberates throughout the forest. Walk next to the deer's footprints Pick up fruits and flowers that fall on the snow. The snow-covered towns seen from a slightly higher place was also my favorite view. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Winter #Snow #Snow #Miyanomori #Kiiku #Kobushi #Yachidamo #Todomatsu #Shika
