How do you get there from Sapporo? A friend is going to visit and asked, “How can I get to Nishiokoppe?” so I made this guide!! The Nishiokoppe Village website lists access information, but I summarized fares and travel times in a table, so please use this as a reference. If you drive, using the expressway takes about four hours. If you use public transport, transfer waiting times can add up, so it may take half a day. This time I’ll introduce a route combining train and bus and a route using buses only. I think the route via Nayoro is the easiest, but there are also express buses from Sapporo to Monbetsu, so coming via Monbetsu is another option. The only public transport serving Nishiokoppe Village is buses.🚌 Roads are safely maintained in winter, so you can ride with confidence. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. And please feel welcome to come and visit Nishiokoppe Village! #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Sapporo #Access #Public transport #Bus #Express bus #JR #Limited express

The tile roof of the temple and the devil's face. I think the purpose and design of the devil's face are unique to Japan. In particular, the devil's face is very COOL and cute. Kobe Mikage, tile roof and devil's face of Jojunji Temple.

Yesterday, the staff of the Tourism Association accompanied the Shintoku Mountain Association, the police, and others to the Komadori River at the halfway point for "Mt. Tomuraushi Mountain Trail Lost Path Prevention Marking Work" and marked two guidance arrows and a sign of ❌ impassability on the snow in red lime. From now on, in the summer mountain season, I hope that you will enjoy Mt. Tomuraushi with a reasonable climbing plan and sufficient equipment. Also, since there are not many climbers yet, bears may haunt the vicinity of the trail, so please plan with a view to carrying bear repellent spray as well as bells and whistles.

Hiroshima City　 Recommended Spots in Hiroshima Golden Mountain Filming Location JMETS training sailing vessel "Nippon Maru" One piece 📸 on the Nippon Maru Departure from Hiroshima Port When I learned that the Nippon Maru was Departure, I took a picture from Mt.

Today I attended the opening festival of Kirigamine. The weather was fine and surprisingly warm. In the second photo, majestic Mt. Fuji also peeked out to welcome us. Even so, just climbing up to the Kirishōtō bell tower made me sweat profusely.💦 For the first time in three years, the opening ceremony returned outdoors.🏔 Many people attended, and we were able to hold the festival. At the opening, members of the Kirigamine Glider Association launched a glider right at 9:00.🛩 It climbed to about 1,900 meters shortly after takeoff. Because it was a glider, it lifted off very quietly.🛫 If there were no weight limits, I would love to try it at least once!!! At the ceremony, the head priest of Tenaga Shrine prayed for the safety of visitors, everyone who passes through Kirigamine, and all those connected to Kirigamine. Please be sure to visit the Kirigamine Nagikama Shrine, one of Suwa’s hidden scenic spots I introduced before! When you come to Kirigamine or Suwa, please drive safely.🚙=3

Creative Local cuisine "Chiba-san" What is Mr. Chiba...? This dish was devised based on the "sanga-yaki" in which fishermen in Samukawa, Chiba City, who supported Edo-mae, roasted fish caught on a boat with condiments and miso paste. Tataki, which is made by cutting ingredients such as fish and meat into small pieces, adding miso, green onions, large leaves, and ginger and pounding them with a knife, and "Namero," which is further finely pounded and eaten raw, is a creative local cuisine created by adding additional ingredients and cooking methods. When you come to Chiba City, please enjoy the "Chiba-san" created by famous restaurants in Chiba City with their unique personalities and ideas! < is a local fisherman who grills Tradition> At the end of the Edo period, fishermen's boats in Samukawa used to cook the fish they caught on board for a meal. Soy sauce spills out, so the seasoning was exclusively miso. It is said that the origin of "sangayaki" is a dish tataki made by pounding the caught fish with condiments and miso, dipping it in the back of the shamoji and roasting it over a fire. These dishes, which were invented by the fishermen of Samukawa who wanted to deliver the fish they caught to Edo while they were still fresh, out of the need for on-board cooking, are a valuable culture that tells us that Chiba supported "Edo-mae".

Hello everyone! This is En'uemon Folklore Museum. Shosenkyo Gorge has entered the fresh green season. A pleasant breeze that hints at early summer slips through the trees. It’s a perfect time for a stroll♪ Big news! A new home has been found for the golden frog that used to sit in front of the shop. It was only at the shop for a short time and in just a few days became a legendary frog. A little early, but here is a look at June’s birthstone, alexandrite♪ Alexandrite is said to change color between night and day. Seeing the purple hue under indoor lighting and the blue tone in sunlight in person is even more moving. Please drop by while you’re out for a walk♪

【The Legend of Minamoto no Yoritomo in Doshi Village 1】 Doshi Village, which has been said to be an unexplored area, has many legends. Among them, an anecdote praising the military prowess of Minamoto no Yoritomo, who opened the Kamakura shogunate in the late 12th century, has been handed down. Minamoto no Yoritomo Legend "Trial Rock" Legend has it that Minamoto no Yoritomo entered Doshiya on his way back from hunting for Fuji scrolls. Yoritomo, who spent time training in martial arts in the Nagamata area upstream of the Doshi River, sharpened the famous sword he had in his possession and slashed a nearby stone and cut it in two. This is called "trial rock" and is made of granite called quartz diorite. It is a large stone divided into two parts, 386 cm wide and 115 cm long. Other ・ "Kabuto Rock" Nagamata area, which is said to have rested with a helmet on a rock The Waraji cord loosened, so I stopped the horse and put my foot on the rock to tighten the cord. It is said that footprints were left at this time. The legend of Minamoto no Yoritomo can be found in various places in the village. In [Doshi Village no Minamoto no Yoritomo Legend 2], we will introduce "Target-sama".

When I visited Takashima Castle around Golden Week, local junior high students were there sketching the castle. Approaching the wisteria, a wonderfully sweet scent filled the air. Before I knew it, honeybees and carpenter bees had come to gather nectar🐝—even I, as a person, was drawn in by that lovely fragrance!!! I don’t understand why the demons in Demon Slayer would be afraid of such beautiful flowers, haha. I think they’re gorgeous. I recommend taking shots from beneath the wisteria trellis!!! Surprisingly, I didn’t know—despite being a local—that wisteria blooms were even in the pond... Takashima Castle, I’m sorry... Looking at the whole display of wisteria that day, to my amateur eye it seemed about 70% in bloom. On the grounds stands a rare Gokoku Shrine⛩ whose architecture resembles that of Suwa Taisha. It seems to have some unusual carvings. I think Golden Week is generally the best time to visit every year, when you can see them at their most beautiful. The castle, the park, and the wisteria—please come and visit next year; we’ll be waiting for you!
