Autumn at Binchu Matsuyama Castle 2019.11.21 The castle tower, which stands near the summit of Mt. Usushi at a Elevation of 430 meters, is National Important Cultural Property and Located in the tallest mountain castle with an existing castle tower. Origin from the Kamakura period, when Jitou Akiba Shigenobu of Arihan Township (present-day Arihan Towns, Takahashi City) built a castle on Mt. Omatsu, and in 1683 (Tenwa San) it was repaired by Mizutani Katsumune over a period of three years, and it became the current castle tower. Since this area connects San'in and Sanyo and intersects the main east-west highways, fierce battles were constantly fought during the Warring States period, and the castle owner was constantly changing hands at a dizzying pace. Around Tojozaka, a huge sheer rock wall with a height of more than 10 meters rises, and you can see the appearance of the "impregnable castle" where the people of the old days rolled their tongues. The contrast between the white plastered walls and the black waist board, the beautiful castle tower shines against the blue of the sky. Autumn leaves on the trees near Otemon in autumn, and the view of the rock walls covered in fiery vermilion is spectacular. There are only 12 castle towers in Japan that exist before the Edo period. Among them, only this Binchu Matsuyama Castle still has a castle tower as a mountain castle. The Observation deck overlooking Binchu Matsuyama Castle floating in the sea of clouds (Unkai Observation deck) is a point where you can see the castle tower of Binchu Matsuyama Castle from the side, which stands on the top of Mt. Usushi at an Elevation of 430 Meters. Especially in the early morning from autumn to Spring, the sea of clouds Unfolds all over, and if you are lucky, you can see "Binchu Matsuyama Castle floating in the sea of clouds" as shown in the photo. However, a sea of clouds does not occur unless weather conditions such as a large temperature difference between day and night and no wind are met. In addition, if the sea of clouds is too thin or too thick, you will not be able to see "Binchu Matsuyama Castle floating in the sea of clouds". Period when the sea of clouds occurs is in the early morning of late September ~ early April. There are snow from December to the end of February. The hours are from dawn to about 8 am, and you can expect thick morning fog, especially in the early morning of late October ~ early December. One of the criteria for determining the conditions for the appearance of a sea of clouds is "good weather and a large difference in temperature between morning and daytime".

Jewelry boxes seen in Saitama This photo was taken in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. The reason why I started photography was "Sea of Clouds". I went to Chichibu many times and finally took this picture. It was the first time I cried while filming. The city lights are reflected in the sea of clouds, creating a view like this. I will call it the three major clouds of Japan.            Location: Chichibu City, Saitama

Nice to meet you! This is the Tsubetsu Tourism Association. With a population of about 4,100 (as of 2023), Tsubetsu-cho, Abashiri-gun, Hokkaido, is located in eastern Hokkaido and is a town rich in nature with forests occupying about 80% of the town's area. In this first post in COOL JAPAN VIDEOS, we will introduce the charm of Tsubetsu Town, which is blessed with nature! The climate of Tsubetsu Town is characterized by high temperatures in summer and severe cold in winter due to the influence of drift ice. There is little rainfall, sunny days, and the sunshine rate is one of the best in Japan. We will introduce access to Tsubetsu Town. By plane, it takes about 1 hour and 50 minutes from Haneda Airport to Memanbetsu Airport. It takes about 45 minutes from New Chitose Airport to Memanbetsu Airport. If you use JR (Limited Express), it takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes ~ 5 hours from JR Hokkaido Sapporo Station to Kitami Station. The bus takes the "Highway Bus Dreamint Okhotsk-go" from Sapporo Station to Kitami Station in about 5 hours. Access by car is about 5 hours from Sapporo Station to Tsubetsu Town. Tsubetsu Town, which is rich in forests, has been certified as a "Forest Therapy Base (R)" for the healing effects of forests that have been scientifically elucidated! At the Tsubetsu Townspeople's Forest Nature Park, which is called "Nonno Forest" by the residents of Tsubetsu, you can walk in the forest throughout the year. In addition, the "Nonno Forest Nature Center" attached to the Nonno Forest has various guided tours, so you can easily experience forest therapy (R). (Reservation required) There are many popular sightseeing spots in Tsubetsu, but this time we will introduce the most recommended spots! Lake Kussharo is a caldera lake in which rainwater accumulates in a large depression created when a volcano erupts. The Tsubetsu Pass Observatory located at Tsubetsu Pass on the outer ring of the Lake Kussharo caldera is located at an altitude of 947 meters, the highest of the surrounding observation facilities, and is a superb scenic spot where you can see not only Lake Kussharo, but also the Sea of Okhotsk, the Daisetsu Mountains, and the Sea of Clouds. The sea of clouds can be seen from June to autumn. Many photographers also visit to capture the beautiful scenery of the sunrise and sea of clouds. Aioi Railway Park, which has been converted into a park from the site of the former Kitami Aioi Station, is an irresistible spot for railway fans who have preserved rare old rolling stock such as "Kiha 22" and "Suhafu 16". There is also a café "Station Building Cafe Holoka" in the old station building, where you can enjoy home-roasted coffee and sweets made with local ingredients. Located in the forest, Roadside Station Aioi Biological Product Center is ideal for enjoying local gourmet food and looking for wonderful souvenirs. Kumayaki House, which sells freshly baked Aioi specialty kumayaki, is a popular shop that sometimes has a line on holidays. The "Sobiosan Museum" in the roadside station sells handmade tofu, juwari soba noodles, and other specialty products of Tsubetsu Town, as well as handmade products. You can also buy cute Kumayaki goods! Tsubetsu Town is dotted with campsites where you can enjoy nature. "21st Century Forest Campsite" is a campsite with a large lawn near the city. There are many children's playground equipment and it is popular with families. Since the Tsubetsu River flows, you can enjoy fishing and playing in the water! If you stay for one night, one tent will cost 500 yen. Other costs will be incurred depending on the conditions, so please check the official website when you come. The period of use is from May 1 ~ October 31 (may change depending on weather conditions) "Chimikep Lake Campground" is a free campsite located on the shore of Chimikep Lake surrounded by primeval forest.

The period of use is mid-May ~ the end of October (may change depending on weather conditions, etc.) Please note that auto camping is not possible.) Next, we will introduce the gourmet food that Tsubetsu Town is proud of! In Tsubetsu Town, onions are grown with special cultivation and organic cultivation. When heated, the sweetness increases and it is difficult to boil and crumble, which is a characteristic of onions from Tsubetsu Town! In addition, "Tsubetsu Wagyu" is an exquisite beef from Tsubetsu Town that is also recognized as a brand beef. Tsubetsu Wagyu beef raised on rice straw or wheat straw has a moderate amount of fat crossing, and the recommended cooking method for Wagyu beef with a juicy taste is yakiniku or sukiyaki.
