Snow-Covered Miya-no-Mori The third Wildlife Class for the village elementary school students This time, the theme was “Let’s Search for Treasures in the Winter Forest!” The highlight was a snowshoe treasure hunt through Miya-no-Mori, which spreads across and above the ski area. Each treasure had a transmitter attached, so using a tool called a Yagi antenna, the children traced signals while climbing up and down the slopes. When listening to the sound from the receiver, everyone focused and strained their ears to find the direction with the least noise. The weather was clear. With the air so crisp, it was an ideal day for walking through the snowy Miya-no-Mori. The kids seemed a little disappointed that the many treasures they found were not food or warm drinks, but they did take home venison stew as a souvenir. On a personal note, I was also happy to reunite with the university student I met during the summer camp session.

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..

"The Tree That Saved My Life" This is "Isehama Beach" in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture. On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake caused a massive tsunami, and miraculously, several people climbed this tree and saved their lives, so it is called "the tree that saved lives."

It was when I went to the winning Ambient Tateshina Hotel. Free from equipment, take a walk around Lake Goddess in the evening. It was a fun time to face nature and face my brother as well. My mother secretly ^^ took a picture of your wonderful conversation from behind

It is a scenic spot where you can see the Oiso Terugasaki coast and Mt. Fuji The beach is usually calm and crowded with people playing on the shore and fishing, but on this day when the rough waves were rushing in, Mt. Fuji brought out its magnificent appearance.

It is a World Heritage Site, but it is lit up three times a year. The other day, there was a winter illumination event, so I went there. This time, I made a reservation half a year ago, so I was able to stay lodging in a 200-year-old gassho-zukuri minshuku, and thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy the nostalgic original scenery of Japan. In addition to the illumination at night, the quiet early morning walk, which is only possible for those who stayed at the lodging, was exceptional.

Izu-Buntei Built in 1910 (Meiji 43), Izu-Buntei once housed a kimono merchant. In Matsuzaki, the town received the building as a donation from its owner and restored the interior as a valuable historic Meiji-era structure. It is now open as a free rest area. A footbath is also installed in the park beside Izu-Buntei.

Photographed on February 26 The early-blooming Oshima cherry in Nagisa Elementary Park is now at its best. This large cherry is said to be a cultivar created by crossing Oshima-zakura with Somei-yoshino, and it usually reaches peak bloom from early to mid-March each year. Perhaps because temperatures have been high this year, it is already in full bloom! The tree has many flower buds and is truly impressive.

Meiji Merchant House Nakase Residence The Nakase Residence was built in 1887 (Meiji 20) as the home of prosperous cloth merchant Naokichi Yoda (Yoda Naokichi Gofukuten). Because the shop name of Yoda Naokichi Gofukuten was “Nakase,” the house is now known as the Nakase Residence. In 1998 (Showa 63), Matsuzakicho purchased the large estate—seven buildings including the main house and storehouses—and opened the main house to the public as an ethnographic museum. The building showcases lavish craftsmanship, from its timberwork to its fine carvings and metal fittings, offering a glimpse into the life of a wealthy merchant of the era. In particular, the black-lacquered namako-style plaster wall finish of the storehouse built inside the main house can only be seen here in Matsuzakicho.
