Introduction 😄 of experience tours that can be done in Tokachi, Hokkaido ~Served on the farm's wooden deck~ At Matsuhashi Farm in Sarabetsu Village, Matsuhashi Beef BBQ with Commitment Matsuhashi Farm has been farming livestock in Sarabetsu Village for more than 90 years. Cultivation of wheat and soybeans is carried out on the farm, as well as all processes from breeding to fattening and sales. Yasuhiro Matsuhashi, a fourth-generation farmer, is reconsidering agriculture in Tokachi and is considering shifting from agriculture aimed at improving yields and income to sustainable and self-sufficient agriculture. In order to ensure that the next generation does not starve, stockpiling and preserving seeds are now themes for Mr. Matsuhashi. The cow that Mr. Matsuhashi raises is "Matsuhashi beef". It is a beef that does not add sashi as much as possible and pursues the original lean flavor of cows. This plan allows you to enjoy such proud cows on the BBQ terrace built on the premises of the farm. A vast field that can be seen from the wooden deck. Eating in a superb view that seems to be connected to the field, you will feel the taste of the beef raised in the area is exceptional.

🌊 Welcome to the ✨ mysterious and beautiful world of the sea I went again this year! Annual event 3 days 2 nights tour🐋 of Okinawa Impression diving, and dreamy whale watching... It was a special experience that stayed with me all the time. The dance of the dogfish and damselfish flocking in the coral forest was a masterpiece, and it was truly indescribably beautiful. What is the appeal of whale watching? Speaking of winter in Okinawa, whale watching is not to be missed. Humpback whales appear in the waters around Okinawa for breeding in winter, and you can see their Powerful presence right in front of you. By combining whale watching after diving, you can enjoy the waters of Okinawa even deeper. 🐳 Whale Trivia The humpback whale is a large whale that can reach up to 15 meters and weigh up to 30 tons. Their graceful swimming and dynamic jumps (yellowtail ching) are spectacular. Humpback whales are also famous as "singing whales", where male whales sing beautifully to communicate with their mates. 🪸 Beautiful sea with coral forests The sea in Okinawa is also known as the "Coral Forest" where colorful corals spread all over. Corals are an important part of the marine ecosystem, and the colorful fish that live there are truly fantastic. For divers, it is truly a Impression moment to experience such a rich world of the sea up close. Thank you to everyone who participated for a wonderful three days! 😃 Dive, drink, eat...

The only souvenir that can make you feel "Japanese". Calligraphy has a delicate sense of beauty, and the subtle changes in fine lines, dots and shading enhance its beauty. There is also an aesthetic sense of stillness, and it is important to keep the mind quiet and focused when writing. It is also essentially about basic manners, such as sitting upright, keeping a straight back and holding the brush upright. The fan, which is still familiar to Japanese people as a tool that appears at milestones in life, and calligraphy on hanging scrolls, which are traditional Japanese works of art, are very popular among foreigners, as they are decorated in an appropriate manner and can be displayed in tokonoma (alcove) and other places. #kakejiku #kanji #wabisabi #snuvenir
