Just smiling is enough.

Thereare many blessings to all of you who are starting out.

　[🆕 Nagano Prefecture sightseeing map has arrived]
The 2025-2026 edition of the Nagano Prefecture Tourism Map has arrivedThe 📦️ cover is ... Yes, it is a 45m antenna of the Nobeyama Radio Observatory, which will attract some attention this yearWhat 📡✨an honor 😲 to be on the cover of the tourist map of Nagano Prefecture, which has 77 cities and towns/villages
It seems that the map can be obtained at Sightseeing spots in Nagano Prefecture, so 🙆 please take a look 🦉

📍 Enoshima
It was taken on the same day as the day of the Enoden shooting.
The Sunrise seen from Enoshima Island in winter is my favorite view in the world.
When the air is clear and the waves are calm, the sun's rays are reflected on the surface of the sea, creating a golden path.
There are not many people, so it is a beautiful scenery that almost sucks you in.
It is not the same place as Enoshima in the summer, you can spend a peaceful time, and the roads are not crowded, so it is recommended.
Even though the waves were calm, it was a little windy and very cold on this day, so when you go to the sea in winter, I recommend that you bring warm clothes and hot drinks!

📍 Enoshima
This is Enoden, taken at the end of 2024.
I visit once every winter to see the Sunrise on Enoshima.
I'm sure I've ridden it many times already, but the view of the sea from Enoden is always exciting.
In particular, the sea on a winter morning that can be seen from the vicinity of Kamakura High School Station is calm with few people, unlike summer, and it seems to be a beautiful painting with a sense of loneliness.
In addition, the air is clear and Mount Fuji looks very beautiful, so it is highly recommended to heal the fatigue of the year.
* Please refrain from stopping on the tracks or entering the level crossing.
