My mother died, and suddenly my father was alone. I took my father on a trip that I had promised him when he was alive. On the way back, we stopped at the Ibaraki Prefectural History Museum, where the autumn leaves were very beautiful. I wanted to show it to my mother... (;_;)

It was when I went to the winning Ambient Tateshina Hotel. Free from equipment, take a walk around Lake Goddess in the evening. It was a fun time to face nature and face my brother as well. My mother secretly (^^) took a picture of your wonderful conversation from behind

It is a scenic spot where you can see the Oiso Terugasaki coast and Mt. Fuji The beach is usually calm and crowded with people playing on the shore and fishing, but on this day when the rough waves were rushing in, Mt. Fuji brought out its magnificent appearance.

It is a World Heritage Site, but it is lit up three times a year. The other day, there was a winter illumination event, so I went there. This time, I made a reservation half a year ago, so I was able to stay lodging in a 200-year-old gassho-zukuri minshuku, and thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy the nostalgic original scenery of Japan. In addition to the illumination at night, the quiet early morning walk, which is only possible for those who stayed at the lodging, was exceptional.

【Izu Bunya】 Built in Meiji 43 (1910) (1910), the Izubun Residence was once run by a kimono merchant. In Matsuzaki Town, the building was donated by the owner and the interior was developed as a valuable historical building representing the Meiji era. Currently, it is open as a free rest area. In the park next to the Izubun residence, there is also a foot bath.

Photo taken on 2/26 The early-blooming Oshima cherry blossoms in Nagisa Small Park are now in full bloom. This large cherry tree is said to be a variety created by crossing Oshima cherry and Yoshino cherry blossoms, and is in full bloom from early ~ mid-March every year. Perhaps because there are many days with high temperatures this year, it is already in full bloom! It has many flower buds and is one that is worth seeing. 【Nagisa Small Park】Address: Nagisa Town, Atami City (in front of Shinsui Park 3rd Construction Zone)

【Meiji Merchant House Nakase Residence】 The Nakase residence was built in Meiji 20 (1887) as the residence of Naokichi Yoda, a wealthy merchant who made a fortune as a kimono wholesaler. Since the trade name of Yoda Naokichi Kure Clothing Store was "Nakase", it is now called Nakase Residence. In 1988 (Showa 63) (1998), Matsuzaki Town purchased a mansion consisting of seven buildings, including the main house and a storehouse, and the main house is open to the public as an ethnic museum. The buildings are lavishly furnished, from timber to fine carvings and hardware, and you can get a glimpse of the life of a wealthy merchant at that time. In particular, the black plastered sea cucumber wall of the storehouse built in the main house can only be seen here in Matsuzaki Town.

【Shizuoka Prefecture Designated Cultural Property Former Yoda Residence】 Heisei 22 (2010) (2010) The buildings of the Yoda family residence were designated as Shizuoka Prefecture designated tangible cultural properties (buildings). A total of five buildings were targeted: the main house built 300 years ago, the detachment built as a guest room 200 years ago, and the three warehouses (utensils, rice warehouses, and miso warehouses) built at the end of the Edo period. It is said that the main house was built over 13 years around the time of Genroku, and although the exterior is a private house with sea cucumber walls that is often seen in Matsuzaki, it is a complete fireproof building with plaster to the rafters of the eaves, and a copper plate fire door is built at the eaves. This building is a large-scale private house that was used as a residence for a wealthy lord, and is the second oldest private house in the Izu area.

【Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property Iwashina School】 A school of sea cucumber walls and shrine-like architecture completed in Meiji 13 (1880). Incorporating the traditional architectural methods of Matsuzaki Town and Western architectural styles, it is known as the oldest school building in the Izu area as a masterpiece of wooden architecture. It is a two-story wooden hipped building, the building is symmetrical, and the exterior is a "sea cucumber wall". The Tonshi of "Iwashina School" displayed at the main entrance is the calligraphy of Sanjo Sanetomi, the Minister of Taisei at the time, and the dragon on it is said to have been carved by Chohachi Irie by borrowing the "chisel" of the building beam. It is an impressive building with a Western-style design, and is known in Japan as the second oldest after the former Rikuzawa School in Kofu and the former Kaichi School in Matsumoto, and was designated as an important cultural property of Japan in Showa 50 (1975). In Matsuzaki, there was a high enthusiasm for the promotion of education in the village, and donations were collected for the construction of the school building, and more than 40% of the total construction cost was covered by donations.

【Chohachi Memorial Hall】 You can see the works of Chohachi Irie, a native of Matsuzaki who made a name for himself as a master plasterer craftsman in the Edo period. Chohachi Irie went to Edo at the age of 23 to study the paintings of the Kano school, while mastering the art of sculpture and plasticity, applying it to the work of plastering, and perfecting Chohachi's unique art of painting with plaster and trowel. Chohachi worked tirelessly in Edo, but at that time there were many fires in Edo, and most of the works were destroyed by fire, and the remaining works were lost in the earthquake and war, so there are very few surviving works, except for the works that remain in Matsuzaki Town. The memorial hall is located in Jokanji Temple, the last temple of Jodo Shinshu Nishi Honganji. This is because when Chohachi rebuilt Jokanji Temple (2nd year of Hiroka), he brought in two disciples from Edo and left the ceiling paintings, sculptures, and stucco work in the temple. In addition, in Heisei 23 (2011), "Unryu" and "A pair of statues of Hiten" were designated as Shizuoka Prefecture Tangible Cultural Properties.

【Setoushi-kun to be washed】 It should have fit perfectly in the pocket of my jacket Setoushi-kun accidentally fell on the road. Because it was dirtier than ever before I decided to wash it right away. If you try to soak it in water with detergent It seems to be a material that floats, and it is fluffy Setoushi-kun surfaces. It will take some time to dry. I'll wait patiently.

It is said to be one of the oldest shrines in Japan, located in the Amano district of Katsuragi Town, Wakayama Prefecture, which you will encounter on the way to the World Cultural Heritage Site "Sacred Sites in the Kii Mountains and Their Pilgrimage Route".

Cape Earth in Hokkaido is said to make the earth look round. When I visited to watch the sunrise, I encountered a break between snow and sunshine.
