late autumn The water source of "Nishioka Park" in Sapporo, Hokkaido It is late autumn and the leaves are falling, but I was able to appreciate the falling autumn.

Introducing photos post "Everyone's post"! Inbound tourist information social media "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS" pickup post. Today, I would like to introduce Lily0321's post "Cleaning up the dondo-yaki fire held in a mountain village in Niigata Prefecture". It's a quaint piece that captures unique festival and traditional culture. In Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture, the strange festival "Muko Throwing" and "Sumi-zuki" held in January every year are small New Year's events that have been handed down since the Edo period. Muko-tossing wishes for the blessing of marriage and the bond of husband and wife, and throws the son-in-law who got married the previous year off a 5-meter-high cliff. In addition, Sumi-gashi is an event in which charcoal and snow are mixed with dondoyaki (Shinto ritual, the god of sai) and applied to each other's faces, wishing for a disease-free life and prosperity of the family business. The festival is held at Matsunoyama Onsen, one of the heaviest snowfall areas in Japan. It is a historical hot spring that has a theory that it is a hidden hot spring of the Echigo guardian Uesugi family. Due to the strong salt quality of the spring, it does not cool down even in winter, and it is also called "Japan's three major medicinal hot springs". The hot spring town is full of sightseeing spots such as open-air baths, day-trip hot springs, foot baths, and gourmet food. At the "Earth Furnace" where the kominka was relocated, you can experience grilling the hearth and making hot spring pork. ◆Matsunoyama Onsen◆ 【Access】 About 25 minutes by bus from Matsudai Station on the Hokuhoku Line About 60 minutes by car from the Kanetsu Expressway "Shiozawa-Ishiuchi IC" Please check the official website for details.

Lake Okutama in summer. The beauty of the hot heat was superb!

It snowed on New Year's Day 2022, so I went to Kinkakuji Temple at the same time as the gate opened. Snow clouds covered the sky until just before the gate opened, but it was clear just before the gate opened, and I was able to see the snow-covered Kinkakuji Temple under the blue sky. It's a truly spectacular view!

Huge snow sculptures are lined up in the city, and it is an event that represents winter in Iiyama City, which is crowded with many visitors every year.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce "Tatsumi's post "Togakushi Shrine Okusha Sando in Nagano Prefecture". The cedars lined up at both ends are a powerful photo. Togakushi Shrine, located at the foot of Mount Togakushi in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, is a shrine dedicated to the gods associated with the "Ten-iwa Tokai Opening Myth". It consists of five shrines, Okusha, Chūsha, Hokosha, Kuzuryusha, and Hinomikosha, and has a history of more than 2,000 years since its founding. Among the five shrines, Okusha has the most worshippers. It is also famous for the way from Nakasha to Okusha with more than 200 huge cedar trees. The cedar avenue, which is more than 400 years old, has been designated as a natural monument of Nagano Prefecture. Okusha seems to have benefits such as good luck, fulfillment of wishes, and must-win sports. Togakushi Shrine is said to be one of the three major power spots in Kita Shinano, and one of the attractions is the "Five Shrines Tour" that visits all five shrines. If you complete the worship and the awarding of the red seal, you will receive a "commemorative bookmark for visiting the five shrines" at the awarding office. ◆Togakushi Shrine◆ 【Address】〒381-4193 Nagano Prefecture, Nagano City, Togakushi 【Access】 From Nagano Station Bus Stop No. 7 (in front of the Alpico Kotsu Bus Nagano Station General Information Center), take the "bound for Togakushi Kogen via Loop Bridge" (about 1 hour) Hokosha: Get off at Togakushi Hokosha Nakasha: Get off at Togakushi Chusha Okusha: Get off at the entrance of Togakushi Okusha Please check the official website for details.

Shiraito Falls in Fujinomiya City. Mt. Fuji, which I was looking for, was hidden by clouds, so I visited the waterfall that my family visited as a child. It was cloudy in the afternoon, but rainbows appeared many times, and I was impressed to be able to capture the "co-performance of nature" of waterfalls and rainbows using ND filters. Unlike when I was a child, I listened to the quiet space and looked at it calmly.

While strolling around Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture in autumn, where the autumn leaves are advancing, I found a collaboration between a waterfall and a bridge with a beautiful vermilion color, so I took a picture for a while.

Participating in a photo contest (* 'ᴗ') ☆ Even a little! If you think I hope you like the tweet of the quoter! ☺️ It's getting colder. Let's get warm and get a good night's sleep. Japan it seems to snow on the sea side, so please be careful not to have accidents such as road surface freezing!

Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"! This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS". Today, I would like to introduce Taketaro's post "Tsumagojuku in Nagano Prefecture". It is an impressive photo of a traditional Japanese house illuminated by the shining light. Located in Nagiso Town, Kiso District, Nagano Prefecture, Tsumago-juku is one of the five highways built in the Edo period. While the traditional townscape disappeared with the passage of time, we succeeded in preserving the old townscape for the first time in Japan. In recognition of these efforts, it was 1976 (Showa 51) selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. The Terashita area, where the townscape preservation activities were first carried out, can be said to be the origin of Tsumago-juku. Wakihonjin Okutani, which has a hearth and allows you to experience the atmosphere of that time, was designated as an important cultural property of the country in 2001 (Heisei 13). From November to February, you can see a fantastic sight of light pouring down from the lattice. Tsumago-juku has plenty of accommodation. "Onjuku Daikichi" is a guest house that harmonizes tradition and modernity. You can enjoy hinoki baths, Daikichi original dishes, chirashi soba sushi, ancient rice rice, etc. Located along the Nakasendō, Hanaya is a convenient ryokan with a large public bath and a private shower room, making it a popular ryokan for overseas tourists. Typical gourmet foods around Tsumago-juku are soba noodles and gohei mochi. We recommend Gohei mochi made with buckwheat flour from "Restaurant Kongoya" and Gohei mochi with sauce made with local mountain gurumi from "Shinya". At the restaurant "Otoyoshi" and the ryokan "Fujioto", you can taste local cuisine. ◆Tsumago-juku◆ 【Access】 From JR Nagiso Station Bus about 10 minutes / Taxi about 10 minutes Nagiso Town Regional Bus Timetable (using Magome Line and Hojin Line) About regional buses and shared taxis (Nagiso Town Hall) About 40 minutes on foot (via Nakasendō or National Route 19/National Route 256 side road sidewalk)
