The 3rd Hosono Highlands Mountain Grilling Experience

🏔 What is 🏔 Hosono Highlands?
Hosono Highlands is a magnificent Highlands with an area of about 125 hectares (26 times the size of Tokyo Dome) on the slopes of Mt. Amagi, which erupted 800,000 ~ 200,000 years ago. It is also said to be a treasure trove of flora and fauna embraced by volcanoes.
In Spring, you can pick wild vegetables such as bracken in the fresh greenery, and in autumn, you can enjoy a large group of golden pampas grass. From the top, you can overlook Sagami Bay and the Izu Islands, creating a unique view of the grassland and the Sea Field.

Inatori Hosono Highlands has been recognized as one of the "100 grassland villages to leave for the future" in recognition of the value of knowledge, awareness, and technology accumulated in the region through many years of interaction between people and nature.
The Hosono Highlands is "mountain burning" to maintain the grassland. Scenes of grass being cut in preparation for mountain burning during the walk.

🔥⛰ What is ⛰🔥 "Yamayaki"?

It is an annual task necessary to keep the Hosono Highlands "as it is".
By burning off the overgrown vegetation, it is prevented from becoming a forest, and the burned vegetation becomes a nutrient and is maintained as a rich grassland.

This mountain grilling has been going on every year in the Hosono Highlands since the Edo period.

In addition, since it is adjacent to the neighboring Kawazu Town, it is not possible to spread the fire, and it is necessary to burn off the Elevation difference and steep slopes.

A high level of burning know-how is required.

Kyoto Prefecture Miyama Karabuki no Sato Snow Festival
It was a pity that there was no snow, but I wanted to take a panoramic view of the village of Miyama, so I climbed the snowy mountain alone
Next time, I would like to see snow on the roof, but if that happens, there will be even more snow on the mountain side.
Is it dangerous to climb snow? 🤔

Miyama Karabuki no Sato Snow Festival
It was a pity that there was no snow, but I wanted to take a picture of the whole view of the village of Miyama, so I managed to climb the snowy mountain alone and took a hard picture.
Of course, since it was a snowy mountain, there was no road, and it was almost a cliff climb, but 😅 on the way back, it was pitch dark and I managed to descend the mountain while getting lost on the way. 😌
