【Winter Rekifune River 2025】

2025 has begun! We look forward to working with you again this year!

This year, the cold seems to be more severe than last year, and the Rekifune River, which streams through the center of Taiki Town, is also frozen in a larger area than last year.
If you put it side by side with the photo from the same period last year, it looks like a different river!
Scene of the river freezing is also unique to areas where the cold is severe.

One of the six ancient kilns in Japan, "Echizen pottery".
It has been selected as a Japan heritage site and is a traditional craft that has continued since the Heian period.

Echizen Town is also known as the production area of Echizen pottery, and there are documents such as the Fukui Prefectural Pottery Museum and the Echizen Ancient Kiln Museum in Echizen Pottery Village, where you can learn about Echizen pottery

I want to feel Echizen pottery even more realistically! For those who say, we recommend a direct visit to the kiln of Echizen pottery.
You can actually see the handiwork of craftsmen in front of you.

This time Workshop we would like to introduce five potters who accept Visiting the site.

・・・

●Hosaigama, Mr. Yoshida
He was born in Echizen Town (formerly Oda Town), the production area of Echizen pottery, so he went on to the path of pottery.
Focusing on Reproduction of the colors of Nature with a sense of the seasons, I am also working hard to create works for Japanese exhibitions and contemporary craft exhibitions in addition to making ceramics.
Recently, together with my son, I am working hard every day to convey the charm of Echizen pottery with two generations of parents and children.

●Toseisha Izumi
At the age of 35, he moved from Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture to Echizen Town, Fukui Prefecture.
I like the environment where I can concentrate on creating works in the idyllic Satoyama atmosphere.
Mr. Izumi is characterized by his works with a simple texture for everyday use. He is a potter who places great importance on contact with customers, such as pottery experiences on business trips.

●Seedling kiln (Mishogama), Mr. Shindo
While studying art at university, I wanted to create my own things, so I entered the world of ceramics, where I could create my favorite shapes with three-dimensional objects.
Echizen pottery is a place where I like the freedom of the artist to have his or her own style, the climate that nurtures the artist, and the atmosphere of the land.
He is characterized by his works using the powdering technique (white makeup), and continues to make everyday vessels that are rooted in the life that he wishes he had.

●I want to eat deliciously this winter! Enjoy Echizen Crab in Echizen Town

Echizen Crab was lifted in November. Echizen Crab is one of the specialties of Fukui Prefecture.
It is also featured in brochures for tourists. Fishing starts on November 6 and is in season until mid-March.
It's for a limited time, so I want people I know outside the prefecture and outside of Japan to taste it.

This time, we will introduce Echizen Crab Spots that you can enjoy even on a day trip Drive.
There is also advice for foreign visitors when they come.

How would you answer if someone asked, "What is Echizen Crab?"

Echizen Crab calls snow crab Landings in Fukui Prefecture. In the San'in region, pine needles are called ni, and in Noto and Kaga, they are called kanoga.

There are three points to keep in mind when introducing Echizen Crab

1. Echizen Crab is a male snow crab. Females are called seikogani
2. A yellow tag with the name of the fishing port is attached as proof of Landings in Fukui Prefecture
3. Echizen Crab is the No.1 in Japan in terms of fishing and quality. It is also presented to the Imperial Family

The facility where you can learn about crabs is the Echizen Crab Museum. It is Located in Roadside Station Echizen. This time, I went to hang out with my Chinese friends. When I asked, "Do you want to join?" he said, "I definitely want to join!" I didn't expect people to be so interested.

At the Echizen Crab Museum, you can compare Echizen Crab and various types of crabs. There are also aquariums where real crabs are bred. It is highly recommended because it is easier to convey because it can be explained by actually seeing it with the eyes.

You can actually see the tools used for crab fishing, and there are plenty of Documents, so you can learn a lot.

There is also a coloring book and game corner for children, so it is fun to go with the family.

Echizen Crab can be bought at various places in the prefecture.
This time, I headed to "Echizen Uoichi" across the street from the Roadside Station Echizen.
There was a row of freshly boiled Echizen crab. Echizen Crab, Seikogani, Red Snow Crab, etc. This is my first time buying Echizen Crab in Echizen Town. I was surprised that it was more reasonable than I expected.

Echizen Crab come in a variety of sizes and prices. If you tell them your budget, the store will choose the recommended one, so let's talk about it.

●Do foreigners like crabs?

Speaking of Fukui, Echizen Crab, and speaking of Echizen Town, delicious seafood. I would like foreign customers to eat it as well.

However, depending on the country or region, there is no custom of eating seafood, or it is not edible. Squid is not good for some people, so be sure to check well in advance. Of course, there are foreigners who come to Fukui to see Echizen Crab.

Here are the favorites of the people I've met by country and region. Please refer to it.

・United States
Many people on the Saikai coast of the United States had the opportunity to eat lobster, so there was not much resistance. Sushi is a widespread part of Japan culture, so many people like raw fish.

・China
Even in China, it is a small yellowtail, but they eat crab, so Echizen Crab was happy to eat it. Crab miso and uchiko are also my favorite foods.

・Asia
Tastes change depending on which region of Asia you are in. The image is that shrimp are eaten, but raw fish depends on the person. Bangladeshi children were not in the habit of eating seafood, and sashimi and fish dishes in general were not favorite.

・Australia
Australia is a multi-ethnic country, and they are familiar with various food cultures on a regular basis. There are many people who like Japan sushi. Echizen Crab was also happy to eat.

・Europe
There are many countries in Europe that do not have the habit of eating fish, so be sure to check carefully.
Inland Australians didn't even like the smell of soup stock. Danes, who have a habit of eating salmon, also have sashimi depending on the person. If you are used to it on a regular basis, you will be desensitized to the smell of fish and the taste of dashi, so be careful when you go to the fish market.

・Israel
Judaism forbids eating seafood without scales. Shrimp and crabs fall under this category, so check with Jewish people in advance. Some sects of Islam do not eat seafood such as shrimp and crabs in the same way. The food varies greatly depending on the religion, so be sure to check carefully.

Let's enjoy the delicious Echizen Crab with your family and friends this winter.

However, the area is so large that it is surprisingly unknown Spot photographing the daffodil Cluster of trees.
Therefore, if you know, I would like to introduce you to the superb view Spot of Echizen Narcissus.

Only here in Japan!? Speaking of which, it is Senmaida by the daffodil field of Rishigahira.
It is said that the terraced rice fields were opened from the Sengoku period to the Edo period, and they were converted from rice cultivation to daffodil cultivation, and became terraced rice fields with daffodils, which are rare in Japan.
The spectacular view of the terraced rice fields in the open valley is a masterpiece.

Did you know that there is a snow fairy in Hokkaido?
Its name is "Shimaenaga"
Originally, this wild bird called Enaga resembled a long-handled ladle in appearance.
The chief of the handle (e) → named Enaga
In fact, there are long-tailed moths in Honshu, but this pure white subspecies of long-tailed moth only lives in Hokkaido
That's why Hokkaido is called Shima.
The long-tailed moth, which lives only in Shima→ was named Shimaenaga
It is only called the snow fairy, and you will see it from the time when the leaves fall and the snow begins to fall
For that reason, it is also called a bird that signals snow

First sunrise of the year from Sumiyoshi Shrine in Kuwana City

It's still okay for a while.
Impression by all means.

\New Year, First Sunset 🌅/
In 2025, Echizen Town will have a cloudy sky and occasional sunny days!

Compared to being buried in snow or having a blizzard, it was a day that was easier to Prayer First Pilgrimage to the Shrine, wasn't it?
In the Sea of Sea of Japan, where the sun sets over the sea, there is a wonderful glow through the clouds.

Are you lucky to see the sun set on the Horizon early in the new year?
Good luck to you.

Visit everyone a wonderful year.

Happy New Year
This year, too, I photographed the First sunrise from the Shinsui Park on the Coast of Atami. This year, it wasn't so cold, there was no wind, and the conditions were perfect!
We waited at the third construction zone before 6:00, and the Horizon began to turn orange around 6:15, and the light began to shine after 6:50. There was a tree a little underneath, so I hurriedly moved to the second construction zone and took a picture here as well. It was a very beautiful First sunrise.
As in every year, many citizens and tourists gathered at Shinsui Park early on to photograph the First sunrise of 2025 (Reiwa 7).

May 2025 (Reiwa 7) be a better year for everyone
Thank you for your continued support of Atami Hot Spring this year
