This looks like a really cool place to visit in Yamanashi if you're heading over to Mt. Fuji or the five lakes. Apparently this place Saiko Iyashi no Sato Nenba was destroyed by a landslide caused by a typhoon in the 60s but was rebuilt some 40 years later. Looks like there's a bunch of stuff to do as well: museums, galleries, craft making experiences, etc. I'm curious as to whether or not the thatched roofs are constructed the same way as the Gassho-zukuri roofs of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama, as they look very similar. I bet it'd look really nice in the winter when it snows and there's also cherry blossoms in the area so that'd be nice for visiting in the spring. Looks fun!

There is no doubt that you will be healed by the original scenery of the Japan.

The night feast of the Nagara River flowing along Gifu Castle, where Oda Nobunaga departed from Tenkafubu. This dance boat serves as a prelude to the start of the Gifu Nagara River Ukai, and performs the Noryo dance on weekends from summer to autumn. Last year, unfortunately, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, dancers wore face shields. I want the Coronavirus pandemic to end as soon as possible and return to the summer bustle of the Nagara River.

In Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, this is a Yabusame tournament held only by female jockeys around the time the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Female jockeys dressed in glossy kimono carry bows, ride on horses of Japan traditional lineage, and fly quickly through three targets while frying dust. Originally, Yabusame is an event held only by men as a Shinto ritual, but befitting the modern era of the 21st century, the gender difference between men and women has been abolished, and the ancient traditions of martial arts and equestrian arts that have been handed down from ancient Japan times have been adopted and passed on to future generations, and the world of glossy kimono fushiko is worth visiting and seeing. At the 4th "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS" Photo Contest - Spring of Japan, we were selected as one of the six winners out of 1,000 entries and received an honorable mention. 【Spring Shooting】

In Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, this is a Yabusame tournament held only by female jockeys around the time the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Last year, it was canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but this year it was held with corona countermeasures. The cherry blossom front reaches the northern tip of Honshu around mid-April. The Yabusame Tournament, in which petting children in glossy Japanese attire unfold, heralds the arrival of spring in this area along with the cherry blossom front.
