October 5, 2024 Kami‑Suwa Kaido Town Walk and Sake Stroll On that day, a major event took over the town of Suwa: the “Kami‑Suwa Kaido Town Walk and Sake Stroll.” Along a one‑kilometer walking radius from JR Kami‑Suwa Station along National Route 20, five of Suwa’s famous breweries stand side by side, and for the event the area from Suwa 2‑chome to the Motomachi traffic lights was turned into a pedestrian zone. The five breweries of Suwa proudly served their signature sakes🍶. This year, a cypress masu (wooden sake box) doubled as a passport, letting visitors enjoy the aroma of hinoki wood while sipping fine sake. The 3,000 tickets sold out by September 30, showing just how popular the event was!!! Compared with last year, more local restaurants offered snack stalls, and additional stalls were run by neighborhood groups!!! Although the weather was a little worrying that day, the ticket exchange at 11:00 at Swatchao was lively, and the city began to buzz toward the pedestrian zone start at 12:00. By the official start at 13:00, lines had formed in front of the five breweries as people queued for their preferred labels!!! After opening remarks by Suwa’s mayor and the head of the Chamber of Commerce, the stroll kicked off with Suwa’s customary kiyari work song, and the sake stroll began. The kiyari performers then walked along the kaido, responding to requests and singing until around 17:00🎶 From 14:00, local dance troupes energized the venue. Many guests joined in the dancing, and the sight of everyone enjoying themselves was memorable. The food stalls drew long queues: yakitori, grilled eel, karaage and sanzokuyaki (mountain warrior‑style fried chicken), chicken wings, game dishes, kushiyaki, candied apples, bento sellers, french fries, yakisoba, and more… The snack stalls were as busy as the sake booths! Good sake paired with delicious local dishes and snacks naturally brought smiles to people’s faces🎶 We met many smiling visitors—thank you very much. What surprised us most was how little trash there was. From the organizer’s perspective, we picked up litter from JR Kami‑Suwa Station to the far end of the venue just before the event ended, and there seemed to be very little trash on the streets. I believe that resulted from attendees properly sorting and disposing of their waste. As I walked around holding a bag and saying, “If you have any trash, please put it in this bag!” several visitors responded, “Wow, amazing! You even collect trash? Thank you so much.” Those words wiped away my fatigue! I was deeply moved😢 For the next event, our staff will continue striving to ensure guests are satisfied and have a great time, while gaining the understanding and cooperation of local residents so that Suwa’s town can become even more vibrant and lively.

Autumn leaves and the purple gold mountain atlas comet In Hokkaido, autumn slowly turns color Autumn leaves were photographed in a composition that looked like a comet falling It seems that Comet Purple Gold Mountain Atlas will return in 80,000 years In other words, this is the last time you will be able to see this scenery and the comet at the same time When I thought about it, I felt somewhat lonely, as if I was saying goodbye to this life

Autumn Dusk and Purple Gold Mountain/Comet Atlas / I took this photo from a residential area in Gushi, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture. It was covered by thick clouds, but a comet appeared through the clouds^^ The angle of the comet's tail that Shochiku Ume Plum is photographed in Hokkaido is different from Okinawa. Does that mean that the distance is that far away? I could see the comet's tail with the naked eye, so I Impression it for the first time since Comet Hale-Bopp^^ You can see Senaga Island in the middle and the runway of Naha Airport on the right. The mountain shadow in the back right is the Kerama Islands.

Comet Atlas, a hot topic right now I was able to take a picture with Kondeji You can tell it's a comet even with a smartphone. You can take pictures of the level. (The mountain range seen below is a recent The Hidaka Mountains, which became a national park) Even if it's sunny, it's barely visible to the naked eye I feel like I can see it somehow. I can't see the "tail" in my eyesight Because it looks like a small, dim star Many people don't seem to notice that it's a comet. It will be useful to have bright binoculars This celestial show will last until around the end of this week. It is said that it is an opportunity, It gets darker and smaller.

I took a picture of the autumn dusk being dazzling and blurring my vision. In Jogashima, a famous landmarks for wedding photography, I felt that there were many subjects that were more beautiful than people when I looked around.

Visited 10/14/24. After Prayer to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, we visited LEC COFFEE. It is a Basque cheesecake with dirty chai and purple sweet potato.

I went to Hamanako Garden Park to see the cosmos. This year, due to the intense heat and heavy rain, there were fewer flowers than every year, so it was difficult to find a good angle.

Yamaguchi Prefecture Sanyo Onoda City Hanyu Sea of Flowers One piece of yellow cosmos, one of the sunsets. Now it's time for the real cosmos.

That day, Kawanishi, known for his love of food, restrained his appetite and visited PMOA Co., Ltd., headquartered in Suwa. PMOA is the well-known company that created Suwa City’s official character, Suwa-hime. Yamaoka gave us a tour of the factory and offices. PMOA, headquartered in Suwa City, is the only hobby manufacturer in Nagano Prefecture. They had been manufacturing plastic molds and parts for automobiles and cameras, but when orders declined during the Lehman shock (the 2008 global financial crisis), the president began to consider whether the company's existing technology could be applied to other businesses. At the same time, the hobby boom—part of Akihabara culture (plastic models, figures, etc.)—was taking off. They created a plastic model of Takashima Castle, beloved by Suwa residents — this marked the beginning of PMOA's production of building plastic models. With about 40 employees, the company primarily uses plastic molding to manufacture items such as figures, fishing lures and plastic parts for a maker known for bicycle lights. In addition to molding, they also provide services such as signboard printing and vehicle wrapping. They have even wrapped Suwa City municipal vehicles, including one featuring Suwa-hime; some readers may have seen it. They also accept private car-wrap orders, so anyone wanting a truly one-of-a-kind vehicle should consider it. The company now has its own factory adjacent to the Chino facility, which makes production-stage feedback much smoother and enables rapid response—this is a key strength. The company's motto is 'Making Japanese towns cute and lively!' Expect them to keep producing many adorable figures and striking plastic models. ※ Factory tour Date & time: Every Friday at 13:30 Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes Group size: 2–20 people Elementary school children and younger: Free Junior high school students and older: 1,000 yen ◎ Please call at least one week in advance: 0266-78-6481 (Harada or Arai)

I cycled around the village and captured autumn scenery🚲 On sunny days, the rice ears glow golden before the harvest🌾 Across the Tenryu River rise the Central Alps. Peaks such as Mt. Utsugi and Minami-Komagatake all exceed 2,800 meters⛰️ And autumn fruit—apples🍎 Shinano Gold trees were heavy with fruit. At Toyooka Travel Time we offer rental bicycles and guided cycling tours.
