【Fujikawa Town Komuro Yuzu and Fuji 🥰】 This year, Komuro's yuzu harvest is low because it is a back year. Komuro's yuzu is characterized by a strong Aroma. I recommend the yuzu pepper and yuzu ponzu sauce set using the yuzu.

In addition to scenery and food that can only be seen and eaten in Japan, calligraphy, a traditional culture that can only be experienced in Japan, is one such example. When providing services to foreigners visiting Japan in the form of experience tourism, we are conscious of "learning" that leads to cultural understanding, such as deepening understanding of the history of calligraphy in Japan and conveying the meaning behind each kanji character.

Samurai are born aware of their "honor" The goal of the aspiring samurai was not wealth or knowledge, but honor. Honor is a goal to be pursued "within oneself," without regard to profit or loss. Therefore, "honor" that is concerned with public reputation is not real honor. #osakacastle #samurai #harakiri #bushido #katana

Traveling Yukimichi Bookshop Wednesday, November 20 The space called Pom Yukimichi Bookshop from Shimokawa Town arrived carrying many books. In Nishiokoppe Village, a certain private house has been opened as a third place. That place is Pom. It is located between the village office and Kikuchi Store. In a room at Pom, where a wall is covered with bookshelves, the traveling Yukimichi Bookshop opened. Books filled the desks, and I stared at the covers and flipped through pages at random. On display were picture books and children’s books, maps of the world, books about plants, blue books, and more. Other visitors came by, and it was fun to watch them compare books and wonder which to buy. Next to the room for browsing books, people from Pom and the community laid out shared snacks and we relaxed while eating. The next visit is scheduled for Friday, December 20. They might bring Christmas books. Thank you to Yukimichi Bookshop and everyone who came to meet the books. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Yukimichi Bookshop #Shimokawa Town #Bookstore #Traveling shop #Pom #Shared snacks #November 20 #Record #Next time: December 20

【Diamond Fuji from Fujikawa Town Toya】 At exactly 7 o'clock, I took a picture of Diamond Fuji with a sea of clouds. You can see it one month earlier than Diamond Fuji in the lower heights.

I photographed fallen leaves in a mountain stream in Aridagawa Towns, Wakayama Prefecture. The fallen leaves, which rotate around while changing their shape from moment to moment, make you forget the passage of time and look at them.

Autumn leaves I met on the way to shoot. Fascination by the style of the old trees.

I visited Sakuma Dam today. The leaves of the spindle tree turned bright red and many berries appeared. Perhaps because the weather was fine, some people were enjoying a walk. It’s not too cold, so it’s a perfect time for a stroll. 😀 It will still be a little while before the narcissus season, but please come visit Kyonan Town. #Kyonan Town #Sakuma Dam Lake Lakeside Park #Spindle tree autumn leaves

When I went to Kobe, I stopped at Minatogawa Shrine, which is famous for Camphor Tree, and the Precincts were wonderful with Autumn leaves.

On November 25, 2025, I took a picture of a row car with a maple near Hozukyo Station.
