Nestled along the banks of the Arashiyama River in Kyoto, a scene unfolds that whispers of Japan's timeless beauty and rich heritage. Here, where the past meets the present, the leaves of the trees sway in the breeze and gently cascade onto the water's surface like delicate memories. The river, a silent witness to centuries gone by, reflects the vibrant hues of the foliage and the graceful curves of the ancient bridge of Togetsu-kyo. This photograph is not just a snapshot in time but a promise to preserve these views of Japan's serene landscapes for the future, ensuring that the essence of this magical place endures for generations to come..

【Would you like to experience gold panning in Taiki Town?】 】 Gold dust is a hot topic in the movie "Golden Kamuy", which is currently a big hit, but at "Rekifune River" in Taiki Town, you can still experience gold panning in the old-fashioned way! It is said that the peak period of placer gold mining in the Rekifune River was from the Meiji 30 to the Taisho era, so it was ✨ right around the time when the gold bullion battle was taking place in Golden Kamuy Taiki Town also cooperates a little with the gold panning scene in the movie. Try to find Taiki Town in the end roll! This year's gold panning is scheduled to start around Golden Week. Come and experience it!

【Recent History】 In the second half of January, the cold has become even more severe. The Rishu River, which flows through Taiki Town, 🧊 is also freezing quite a bit I compared the Lishu River last autumn seen from the "Furusato Bridge" with this month's Lishu River. It is expected to get even colder and more frozen in the future! Will it freeze completely...?

Go to Gongendo Park in the morning It was late this year because it was hot, but in October, the carpet finally turned bright red. Saitama has many famous red spider liliies spots.

🍁 Recommended spots 🍁 in Taiki Town autumn The place where you can feel autumn in Taiki Town is "Sakashita Sensakai" where you can see beautiful autumn leaves. It's a little far away, so I'll show you how to get there! (1) If you run on the Shimizu Taiki Line (Hokkaido Route 55) from the upper Satsunai, you will see the sign on the right, and if you are coming from Taiki, you will see the sign on the left, so turn along the arrow. (2nd photo) (2) The orange bridge "Bikei Bridge" will come into view, so we will pass it. (3rd photo) (3) On the way, the road changes from paved road to gravel road, but if you continue on, you will see the orange bridge "Sakashita Ohashi", so you will pass it. (4th photo) (4) When you pass another gray bridge, you will see dairy farmers. A little further past the dairy farmer, there is a road divided into right and left, but please proceed towards the sign on the left. The sign says "Rekifune River tributary forest road" and you enter the forest road. (Photos 5 and 6) (5) Continue on the forest road for a while. When it rains, there are places that get muddy, and there are times when broken trees are falling, so go slowly. (7th photo) (6) I arrived at the "Hikata Bridge" over the Sakashita Senkai. (8th photo) There is a little space on the right after crossing the bridge, so you can park or make a U-turn. Visit Taiki's topic article "How to get to "Sakashita Senzai"" has more detailed directions, so please refer to it and go feel the autumn!

On both sides of the approach to the shrine with a view of the worship hall, there is a pair of stone top dogs, which always protect the gods. This powerful and dignified komainu was dedicated in 1938 by a then-famous Japanese confectionery shop called "Oki Kyodo" in Hondori 5-chome, Shimada, the year after the start of the Sino-Japanese War (China Incident), and was carved by Shimada stonemason Masuno-chohei. The right pedestal is carved with the words "Takeyu" and the left pedestal is carved with "Nagahisa", and it seems that it is a top dog dedicated to pray for Japan's victory and peace, and the safety of those who went to war.
