In the forest on the ridge of Rokko, I found a secret place where a mysterious anecdote between Mr. Groom and a fox with a white tail remains. This is a place called Mikuniike on Mt. Rokko, which has flourished as a villa area since the Meiji era. I knew from the map that there was a villa of Arthur Hesketh Groom, a trader who came to Kobe in the Meiji era, but I stepped in to find out why Mr. Groome, who loved Japan, Kobe, and Mt. Rokko, built a villa here. Groom was born in Vernon Terrace, a coastal city overlooking the English and French Straits, and came to the Kobe Foreign Settlement in 1868 (Keio 3/Meiji 1st year). In this way, he was involved in the trade of Japan tea and Chinese tea, and eventually in 1895 (Meiji 28), he built a villa named 101 House here on the banks of Mikuni Pond. One day, when Groom hid a lost fox chased by a hunter, he stayed near the villa and fell asleep on Groom's lap. Eventually, after Mr. Groom's passing, a man who said that this fox had moved to his family came to visit him, and the surprised family built a shrine on Mt. Rokko to enshrine the fox. The man who visited had no connection with the Groom family and had a dream (was told by you?). It was said that he had arrived at the Groom family. Because the tail was white, this shrine was named Shirohige Shrine. Actually, I found this Shirahige Shrine first, visited it to learn about its origin, and this time I came to the site of the villa site of Mikuni Pond. Now, when I entered the mountain a little from the bus stop of Mikuni Pond, I heard the sound of a frog like the sound of a cello of a stringed instrument and the murmur of the water flowing smoothly. Soon we reached a path overlooking a large pond through the bushes. There was a small island in the pond, and I could see in the distance how the frog, startled by my presence, jumped to the surface of the water and its ripples spread soundlessly. That's when I was stunned. A short tree stands on the other side of a small island with trees... The surroundings were slightly bright, and I could feel the children of families who had come to hike and running around. I felt like I had seen Mr. Groom as a young child. At that moment, oh, yes! !! I felt convinced. I'm sorry if it's just my imagination, but this is a mountain with the same atmosphere as the waterside of the happy memories that Mr. Groom spent with his family when he was a child... Perhaps this Kobe, which faces the Seto Inland Sea, was very similar to his hometown Vernon Terrace facing the English Channel. The sense of security of hometown... For some reason, I couldn't help but imagine that this was conveyed to the white-tailed fox. Since building his first villa here, Groom has embarked on resort development, tree planting, and mountain trail maintenance on Mt. Rokko. I am sure that this is a power spot where various ideas are excited. This time it was ? a piece from a "secret place" surrounded by such healing greenery.

How do you do! It is a town full of history "Fujiidera City, Osaka Prefecture". Fujiidera City is located about 15 km southeast of Osaka City, and can be reached from Kansai Airport in about 1 hour and 10 minutes by train or 50 minutes by car. The origin of the city's name is derived from the "Fujiidera" that exists in the city. Katsurui-dera Temple was built in the latter half of the 7th century and is worshipped as the fifth temple of the 33 Kannon Sacred Sites in Nishikoku, and the main statue of the National Treasure Inui Urushi Senju Kannon is actually a thousand-armed Kannon statue with 1,041 hands, and is opened on the 18th of every month. In spring, beautiful purple wisteria flowers bloom on the wisteria trellis of the precincts. In addition, Dōmyōji Tenmangu Shrine is a shrine located in Dōmyōji in Fujiidera City that gathers worship as a god of learning, and there are about 800 plum trees of 80 species in the precincts, and it is known as a famous place for plum blossoms. The treasure hall in the precincts has a collection of national treasures and many valuable cultural properties, so please take a look. In addition, Fujiidera City is famous for its Furuichi Kofun Cluster, a group of burial mounds built from the late 4th century to the middle of the 6th century. The Furuichi Kofun Cluster consists of more than 130 burial mounds, including seven huge anterior and posterior burial mounds with a length of more than 200 meters, and together with the Mozu burial mounds in Sakai City Furuichi Kofun Cluster, it was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site for the first time in Osaka Prefecture in the first year of Reiwa. The shape of the burial mounds also varies. ◎ Keyhole-shaped "front and rear circle burial mound" ◎ A type of anterior-posterior burial mound with a shortened front part "Scallop-shaped burial mound" ◎ Rectangular "square tomb" ◎ The most common circular burial mound in Japan Here are some of the burial mounds in Furuichi Kofun Cluster! ◎ Tsudoshiro Yamakofun It is said to be the first huge burial mound built in Furuichi Kofun Cluster. The length of the mound is 210 m, and in the Muromachi period, Oyama Castle was built using the topography of the burial mound. At the nearby historical museum "Mahorashiroyama", excavated haniwa and earthenware are on display, so you can learn about the history of the burial mounds. ◎ Mausoleum of Emperor Chuai Located about a 15-minute walk from Fujiidera Station, this huge burial mound is 245 meters long. Many cylindrical haniwa and figurative haniwa have been excavated from the mounds and hollows. The burial mound is now covered with rich trees, and waterfowl gather in the surrounding moat, making it a spot where you can feel a relaxing time. If you want to see the excavated items, we recommend IJsselschla Hall. As an archaeological and history museum facility, the history exhibition room and the ancient archives room display many cultural properties, including the "Mizutorigata Haniwa", which is an important cultural property of Japan. The exterior design of the building is based on the motif of a ship-shaped haniwa and shura excavated from Fujiidera City, and is characterized by the image of a ship that inherits history and sets sail into the future. A recommended sightseeing plan for those who want to enjoy these burial mounds and shrines and temples together is the "Furuichi Kofun Cluster and Rokusha-ji Tour" held as a commemoration of Furuichi Kofun Cluster's registration as a World Cultural Heritage Site. It is a collection of the mausoleum seals of the World Heritage "Furuichi Kofun Cluster" and the red seals of the venerable shrines and temples scattered throughout Fujiidera City and Habikino City, so you can enjoy sightseeing at Fujiidera Temple while feeling the history firsthand. Please try to collect all the red seals. In this post, we mainly introduced the historical spots of Fujiidera City, but it is still only a small part of the tourist information of Fujiidera City. We will continue to send out plenty of recommended information, gourmet information, event and festival information, so thank you!

A 15-minute walk from the school is a shrine related to Tokugawa Ieyasu's vassal "Okubo Nagayasu". Okubo Nagayasu is famous for creating the city of Hachioji, and it is said that it was also featured in Buratamori. Events related to Okubo Nagaan are frequently held here. It will also be held on June 17th, so if you are nearby, please go there. Since there are many historical buildings in Hachioji, we sometimes study history in class before visiting. Our school teaches not only about Japanese, but also about the region, about the history of the Japan.

"Kobe Foreign Settlement The Miracle of Building 38" Building No. 38 from the time of the foreign settlement in Chuo-ku, Kobe City, is a very retro Western-style building. The building is accessible from northeast to southwest, where a statue of Nike, the winged goddess of victory, is installed. According to the description below the statue ... Nike is the goddess of "production" and "victory" in Greek mythology, and it is said that since ancient times, it has been attached to the end of the ship as a goddess statue to pray for safe navigation and the realization of dreams. This 38th building is currently owned by the Daimaru Kobe store, but this Nike statue was installed here to pray for the recovery of not only the Kobe store but also the region, likening the building to a ship. In the morning darkness, the rising light shone in from the atrium sky, and the red bricks embedded in the surrounding floors emerged along with the statue of the goddess. Each of these red bricks has many heartfelt messages to Kobe! I feel energized when I come here, and this may ? be a real "hidden gem".

Itsukushima Shrine Five-storied Pagoda / Hiroshima Itsukushima Shrine Five-story Pagoda / Hiroshima A five-storied pagoda located a little deeper in Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its torii gate in the sea. Since it is located in a high place, you can see it from a distance, but when you see it up close, the power will take your breath away. The Senjokaku Pavilion next to it is also a highlight. The five-story pagoda is located in a slightly secluded part of Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its torii gateway in the sea. It can be viewed from a distance due to its elevated location, but when seen up close, the power of the pagoda will take your breath away. Next to the five-story pagoda is the Senjo-kaku, which is also a must-see.

Went to Fukushima over the Golden Week holiday. On our first day we took a bus to Ouchi-Juku and had a great time looking at all the buildings and different shops. The negi soba (soba with a large leek) is famous there so my girlfriend ended up ordering that. She said it was a bit difficult to eat, but fun and tasted great. We also ended up trying a variety of different snacks in the area. The Age-Manju (deep fried manju) was really tasty and we actually ended up getting again later. I was able to take a photo from the famous photo spot at Ouchi-Juku as well (photo #4). I only have an iPhone camera, so the quality isn't the best, but I'm happy with how it turned out. On the way back from Ouchi-Juku we returned via Yunokami Onsen Station and so we got to use the footbath that was attached to the station. It was a really great way to rest up after walking for so long. The station itself was also really photogenic, so I snapped a couple photos from the platform and between the railroad tracks. The hotel we were staying at for the night was in Aizu-Wakamatsu and on the way we found a nice little shop with a large akabeko cow outside and the staff was kind enough to take a photo of us with it. For dinner, we went to a place called Sassa (左雨) and had a really great time. We ended up talking to the owners for a bit and they were super nice. It was also the best tonkatsu I've eaten in my entire life. It was cooked tp perfection, and the dressing that came with the salad and cabbage matched perfectly with it. We probably ended up eating way too many fried foods but it was all really tasty. The next day we visited Tsuruga Castle. The castle was quite cool, but it was a bit more crowded than Ouchi-Juku. Considering it was Golden Week, it wasn't much of a surprise. Either way we had a great time. We started off going for a boat ride around the moat (I got my daily exercise in, as I was rowing the whole time lol). After that we went up into the castle and were able to see a view of the city from the top which was pretty cool. There were also live performances going on in the field in front of the castle which were fun to watch. At that point it was about lunch time so we went over to the row of food stalls (photo #16) and grabbed a bite to eat. There were shops selling all sorts of goods as well, so we spent some time window shopping. After Tsuruga Castle, we went to Oyakuen Garden (御薬園). We ended up sharing a green tea by the pond and relaxing for a bit which was nice. There were a lot of koi inside the pond and a variety of birds flying around as well, so the atmosphere was very relaxing. Photo #20 is supposedly the best view in the garden (it was written on a sign) so I snapped a photo of it. The photo doesn't do it justice, but it was a really incredible view. All in all, we had a really amazing time in Fukushima, but we definitely would like to visit again, as there's a lot we didn't get to do still. I really wanted to try an akabeko workshop but we didn't get the chance, which was a bit disappointing, but we still had a lot of fun, so I can't complain. I definitely recommend visiting Aizu-Wakamatsu if you have the chance!

The only national park in the Tohoku region, "National Michinoku Mori Lakeside Park" In spring, colorful flowers such as rape blossoms and tulips are in full bloom, and you can also see historical kominka representing the six prefectures of Tohoku.

The other day (around mid-April), I photographed the flowers of the otome camellia (otome tsubaki) in the Mt. Rokko of Kobe. This Mt. Rokko area has been designated as the Setonaikai National Park and has been a suitable place for recreation and summer retreat since the Meiji era. Mountain villas and recreation centers have been built here and there in the mountains, and there are sightseeing spots such as Rokko Ranch, which is inspired by a mountain ranch in Switzerland, and Arima Onsen, which is counted as one of the three famous springs of pillow grass. The mountains opened by foreigners in the Kobe Settlement have many katakana names such as Cascade Valley (a valley of many small waterfalls) and Twenty Cross (20 mountain trails), recalling the history of foreigners opening the mountain. By the way, this time the otome camellia was taken at the place of the Japanese name, Otter Pond in Viper Valley. Aside from the Mt. Rokko area where many names from the Edo period remain, such as the Shojo Pond introduced here last year, Otter Pond is ... I wonder if the pond used to be full of otters, and I still look around for signs. The camellia blooming season is almost over, but now the azalea flowers are brightly colored all over the driveway. Animals and plants are rich in nature, Mt. Rokko how about ? hiking?

The 11th Sword Exhibition will be held at the Sendai Domain Shiraoi Motojinya Museum from April 22 (Sat.) ~ May 7 (Sun.). You can also see special precious swords.

The morning sun shines from the fresh green of spring... Mt. Rokko in Kobe has been redressed! !! The photo is a morning scene taken near the ridge of the Omote Rokko Driveway in mid-April. I climbed the hill on a road bike, but it was a pleasant cycling that felt moderately sweaty (I climbed slowly). Mt. Rokko was opened as a leisure mountain by foreigners in the Meiji era, and Arthur Herkes Groom, who built the first mountain villa, is called the "founder of Mt. Rokko." The first mountain villa was built at a place called Mikuni Pond after climbing the driveway in the photo to the ridge. From there, foreigners and Japan people built mountain villas one after another, forming a village. It seems that there are no mountain villas left from that time now, but you can still see many recreation centers of various companies in the vicinity. Even if you actually climb on a road bike, you can meet foxes, raccoons, woodpeckers, squirrels, moles and monkeys, and you can feel that you have come to nature in a different world from the city. How about ? forest bathing for a mental retreat this spring?

Went on a trip to Sendai last weekend and had an awesome time. We were only there for 2 days and 1 night, but we managed to do everything we wanted to. On the first day we arrived at Sendai Station (the beautiful stained glass in photo #1) and had lunch, after which we headed over to our hotel, dropped off our bags, and then headed off to do some sightseeing. Our first stop was Funaoka Castle Park. The cherry blossoms were really nice and there was a cherry blossom festival or something like that taking place and there were some food stalls as wells, so we picked up some snacks and relaxed for a bit. We were able to see the large Kannon statue from a distance but opted not to go all the way to the top because we had some other stuff planned. After Funaoka Castle Park we made our way towards Shiroishi Castle. On the way to the castle from Funaoka Castle Park there’s the famous Hitome Senbon-Zakura, which we were able to enjoy for the entire walk to the castle. The cherry blossoms along the river were quite the treat. During our walk to the castle, we came across another cherry blossom festival with more food stalls. We had a couple more snacks and enjoyed the views before heading towards the station to get to Shiroishi Castle. As we were walking to the castle I found some cool art on some shop shutters. The path leading up to the castle was dotted with lanterns and was really pretty, especially as it was nearing sunset. We arrived at the castle with just a bit of sunlight left and we were just lucky enough to take some nice photos. After the castle, we had some dinner at a nice Izakaya and headed back to Sendai Station where our hotel was. The first day was all about seeing the beautiful views of cherry blossoms, but the second day we decided to enjoy the history and culture of the area. We started off by visiting Zuihoden, the mausoleum for Date Masamune. On the approach to the complex, we saw some interesting buildings where we stopped to take pictures and check out the architecture. The row of trees lining the steps to Zuihoden reminded me of the famous row of trees at Togakushi Shrine in Nagano. There were a lot of different structures, and learning about the history and what they were all built for was really interesting. Unfortunately I have too many photos and can’t post them all here. After we finished up at Zuihoden, which took a while because I wanted to read every single sign that we came across, we headed over to Sendai Castle (Aoba Castle). Again, I have too many photos to post, so I’ll just leave it to the famous statue of Date Masamune. The view from the top of the castle was quite nice and the other structures around the castle grounds were really interesting to learn about as well. After the castle, we were running out of time, and so we decided to start making our way back to Sendai Station. We ended up getting off a few stations early because my girlfriend had read that there was an event at Nishi Park. I can’t post all of the photos, but it was a really big cherry blossom festival with food stalls, etc. I highly recommend visiting Sendai during spring, as it’s definitely worth the trip. Most of the places we visited were not crowded at all, and we had an awesome trip.
