When I first heard about shirakawago in 2015 from then had dream to visit this place someday. Finally my dream come true and today I visited the most picture perfect and iconic village of Japan. I feel an unexplainable joy and time goes very fast to enjoy the beauty. The beautiful and unique gassho-zukuri village on a pre-autumn rainy morning. The traditional house, the rice fields, cosmos flowers, the green mountains and the alleys of pines what else we need to see. The whole atmosphere is so beautiful.

I chose one that makes me feel the summer of Japan, where fireworks shine on the old townscape, and the summer of my nostalgic hometown. The historic "Sushuikyo River Festival Fireworks Festival" rooted in the hometown was held for the first time in three years. Here in Yaotsu, there is the Minato "Kurose Minato" at the top of the Kiso River, which was so busy that it was called "Little Edo" in the Edo period, and the history of fireworks can be traced back to the Edo period. It is still held on the Kiso River as a remnant of the gorgeous days of boat transportation. I am really happy that the fireworks festival, which began as a result of the war memorial and post-war reconstruction by Coronavirus pandemic, continued to be held in a small town while major fireworks festivals continued to be abolished and integrated one after another. In the middle of Coronavirus pandemic, there were tornadoes last year, and disasters continued in Yaotsu, but it is the birthplace of Chiune Sugiura, and the nature of the Kiso River and mountains, and the town is full of charm for delicious foods such as eel and kurikinton. In the future, when the New Maruyama Dam is completed and the surrounding area is maintained, it will be possible to go to the secluded Fukasawa Gorge again. I hope that it will bring back the bustle of the past.
