Tomi City, Nagano Prefecture Kanou School Building This school was built in Meiji 12 (1879). It is the oldest school building in the prefecture after the Nakagome School in Saku and the Kaichi School in Matsumoto, and the oldest school building in the Ueda and Oken regions. This school building was built by the enthusiastic love of education of the Japanese villagers. The aim was to cultivate a "Japanese soul and Western talent" type of person whose mind is Japanese and whose knowledge is Western culture. ⭐︎Key points ⭐of this photo︎ 　The roof is a structure that is often seen in temples and shrines, called a thatched main house, and the devil's face at the eaves is also characteristic (Dragon Tiger Confucius Mencius).

Kitakuni Highway "Unno Yado" The townscape of Unno Yado is a traditional style of houses in harmony with the thatched-roof buildings of the Edo period and the robust silkworm buildings of the Meiji era and later. The irrigation water streams in the center of the road and the beautiful houses with lattice doors on both sides of it make you feel a quiet atmosphere reminiscent of a historical hometown. History of Unno Yado Unno Yado was opened in the 2nd year of Kanei (1625) as a inn station in Kitakuni Highway. The Kitakuni Highway is an important highway connecting the Nakasendo Highway and the Hokuriku Expressway. In addition to the transportation of gold mined in Sado and the change of attendance of the daimyo of Hokuriku, there was also frequent traffic with Edo, and there were many pilgrims to Zenkoji. After the adjacent Tanaka inn was damaged by the great flood in Kanho 2 and the main camp was moved to Unno Yado, it was very busy, with 59 denma houses and 23 hatago. After the Shukuba-juku function was lost in the Meiji era, it moved to a sericulture village. Since the traditional houses of Unno Yado have been preserved to this day, it was selected as one of the "100 Best Roads in Japan" in 1986 (Showa 61) and as an "Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings" in 62. ⭐︎Highlights ⭐of this photo︎ 　In the Edo period inn-style building, the second floor is more protruding than the first floor. It is said that it is a consideration so that travelers do not get wet when getting ready on rainy days.

Speaking of famous warlords of the Sanada clan, "Sanada Yukimura (Sanada Nobushige)" (Sanada Yukimura), who played an active role in chasing down "Tokugawa Ieyasu" in the "Osaka Natsujin" in 1615 (Keicho 20), and "Sanada Masayuki" (Sanada Masayuki), who defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu's large army twice, are famous. In addition, as a conspiracy general of "Takeda Shingen" (bosho: a general who excelled in strategy), "Sanada Yukitaka" (Sanada Yukitaka), who was said to be inferior to Takeda Shingen, can be mentioned. Prior to the establishment of the Shukuba town, Unno Yado was called "Unno-go" or "Umino-sho" and was the birthplace of the Umino clan, a branch of the Shigeno clan of Shinshu, which is said to be the root of the Sanada clan, from Heian to Kamakura and the Sengoku period. ⭐︎Key points ⭐of this photo︎ This is the current state of the main team. When you open the gate, you will be greeted by a magnificent tree. In addition, one of Sanada Yukimura's entourage, "Umino Rokuro" (Unnorokuro), whose name also appears in the creative vassal group "Sanada Ten Brave Warriors" (Sanada Ju Yuushi), is also said to have been from this area. In 1583 (Tensho 11), Masayuki Sanada moved the shrine and town from Umino to Ueda when he built "Ueda Castle" (Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture). After that, the village was reduced and Unno Yado was established as an "inn station on the snow country highway".

It's called "Honudatsu" and it's from the Edo period. There is also a "sleeve udatsu", which is from the Meiji era. Neither of these was something that could only be done from a wealthy family. It is from this place that the phrase "depression does not rise" was born.

Today in Akasaka, I met up with a friend. This kind of time is precious. This is Bilbokeh's lunch plate. It is a quiche, a pork tart, and a terrine. Bilboquet means kendama in French.

It is 🌾 a view that seems to have gone back in time to [Betsumiya Terraced Rice Fields] in Yabu City, Hyogo Prefecture

Kyoto is no longer the home of the Japanese people. It makes me sad to think about it, but it may be becoming true. However, I would like to see only the Tochi-in Temple, which is related to many warlords such as Fukushima Masanori, in our hometown. Now I just enjoy the garden that no one knows.

3 minutes walk from Kyoto National Museums. Kayakuni Shrine dedicated to Hideyoshi. It seems that the Karamon gate that was originally located in Nanzenji Temple Totou Kinjiin was relocated. It used to be in Nijo Castle, and before that it was in Fushimi Castle. It is a wonderful Karamon that conveys the opulence of the Momoyama period. In front of the gate, two bows, two applause, one bow.

Kanchi-in, a temple near Toji Temple. One of the hidden gems known only to those in the know. From the guest hall, a national treasure where Miyamoto Musashi is said to have stayed, you can see the garden of dry mountain water and the five-story pagoda. The view from the bullet train is quaint, but the five-story pagoda seen from here is also beautiful.

Chomonkyo Gorge, Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture It is the SL Yamaguchi that has been revived for the first time in two years. This D51 also seems to be 80 years old, and I felt the history in the sound of steam and whistles.

There was an interesting person at Ninnaji, says Kaneyoshi Hoji. I feel that Ninnaji Temple is a warm place that embraces such humanity. I wonder if I'm the only one who feels quaint and heartwarming in this blank space.

This is the scenery of the early summer of the terraced rice field "Aragi Island" in Aritagawa Town, Wakayama Prefecture. I feel like it's still a little early for the scarecrow to come out.

Tsubosaka-dera Temple where you can enjoy the four seasons. Spring, of course, cherry blossoms are in full bloom. However, it is not 😅 blessed with very sunny weather Takaichi-gun, Nara Tsubosaka-dera Temple

Photographed 3/28/24. This is the love water of Kawagoe Kumano Shrine.

I learned about Impermanence and Impermanence in Japanese language class, but I thought that this might be an exception. At the Suirokaku Aqueduct of Nanzenji Temple ...

The head of the Rinzai sect Sohonzan Myoshinji Temple, Katsura Spring Temple. Moss doesn't talk and shows the same appearance all the time. But if you look at it from a sitting position, the moss speaks. Oh I see??? Is this natural? It was early spring when my legs started to go numb.

A short walk from Kiyomizu-dera Temple to Chishaku-in, a temple associated with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It's a hidden gem. You can have this scenic garden all to yourself. There is a beautiful fusuma painting on the back, and Rikyu's favorite Garden spreads out in front of you. It was sad to leave this beautiful and gorgeous world, and I looked back many times.

The Spring Takayama Festival (Sanno Matsuri) is an annual festival of Hie Shrine, the god of the southern half of the former Takayama Castle Town, and is held on April 14 and 15 every year. The Minamoto of the festival is said to have originated during the reign of the feudal lord Kanamori of Hida (1585-1692), and the food stalls are said to have originated around 1718, and the craftsmanship is alive and well, such as the karakuri Dedication that shows off the skillful movements of the puppets and the return car with the gimmick. It was the first time I saw it live, and I had only seen it on the news and videos until now, and I was able to experience a very fresh and fantastic world view, and although my photography skills are still immature, I want to convey the impression of seeing it...
