Chusonji Temple, one of the most popular temples in Tohoku It is a temple of the Tendai sect Tohoku Daihonzan located in Hiraizumi Town, Nishiiwai District, Iwate Prefecture. In 2011, it was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site. Chusonji Temple is famous for its gorgeous golden hall, but there are many other attractions such as Benkei-do, Yakushi-do, and Hondo. 　 By the way, the photo is "Benzaitendo" in the precincts of Chusonji Temple. It is said that it was donated in 1705 by Senhime of the Sendai feudal lord Date Tsunamura. This is a famous photo spot that is crowded with photographers.

This is the first time I visited Ouchijuku. The night before, the surrounding mountains had its first snow, and the planting in the post town became the first ice. The sky was cloudy, so I arrived a little depressed, but it was early in the morning and there were few people, but the few trees with autumn leaves that remained warmed my feelings. The people of the post town were also very kind, and my desire to support Fukushima became stronger. What I can do now is to convey the charm of Tohoku as much as possible.

I visited Fukushima Prefecture for the first time. Partly due to the effects of the earthquake, many months passed without my mind turning to this area. The first place I visited was the "Tower". It felt like the peak of autumn leaves had passed, but I was reminded that the brilliance of nature does not matter where it is. Once again, don't be defeated by the earthquake! Fukushima Prefecture! It was a time when I felt strongly about it. I will try not to be prejudiced and be confident in the land where I grew up!

"Ginzan Onsen" where you can enjoy Taisho romantic buildings and hot spring district in each of the four seasons It is a hot spring village located in Obanazawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. It seems that there are more foreign tourists than Japanese now, and this nostalgic sight is irresistible to foreigners.

Houmei Shiju Hachitaki Falls at the entrance of Sakunami Onsen called Sendai's Okuzashiki. Waterfalls of various sizes are lined up, and it is said that the name comes from the sound of the "phoenix", which is said to be a legendary bird. The autumn leaves and fresh greenery are truly spectacular.

A standard spot for autumn leaves representing Miyagi Prefecture "Naruko Gorge" Especially popular is the colorful autumn leaves seen from "Ofukasawa Bridge". Furthermore, there is a tunnel of the JR Rikuu East Line on the precipitous cliff in the autumn leaves, and you can see the train running through the autumn leaves. During the autumn foliage season, the train runs slowly for passengers, so if the timing is right, you can take a picture of the train the moment it exits the tunnel.

The carpet of the gods of Mount Kurikoma It was said that it was not good this year, but not at all It was so beautiful that I was impressed, and I enjoyed it for 6 hours until I climbed up and down. There are several climbing routes, but the one that is easier from the Miyagi Prefecture side is the central route. The other Higashikurikoma route will be muddy, so be careful.

At Adachigahara Furusato Park in Fukushima Prefecture It's like I'm not 😃 hiding

The mid-autumn moon of 2023 is September 29 This year, I saw the moonrise at "Nishigyo-no-Matsu Park" in Matsushima Town, Miyagi Prefecture, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan. This is an attractive place where you can enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, such as cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in autumn.

The golden rice terraces that make you feel the arrival of autumn are just about to be harvested. This is a terraced rice field protected in an area called "Kitaura Safety Temple" that spreads out in the mountainous area of Oga City, Akita Prefecture. Beyond the terraced rice fields, you can see the mountains of the "Three Mountains of Oga Mayama, Motoyama, and Mt. Momu", and clean spring water flows from the mountains, moistening the terraced rice fields and producing delicious rice. I'm looking forward to the delicious rice~.
