This is the form of the main hall of the sleeping hall and is said to be the worship hall of Kumano Shrine. In front of the long floor, there is a large ginkgo tree with a height of 30 meters and a circumference of 8.1 meters around the base, which is said to be 800 years old, and it is lit up during the autumn foliage season, and you can enjoy the beautiful view of the yellow carpet and the long floor.

Bandai Azuma skyline in Fukushima is one of the most popular scenic driving route in Japan. Last weekend we went to enjoy this area and drive in skyline, lake line and golden line. It was an amazing experience. The roads are now fully covered with autumn colors. And the the top side of the sky line there is crater, marshland rough stony area and lot of sulpher smell. This photo was taken near the jogodaira in Bandai azuma skyline. I really enjoyed this places and hope you all will like it. If you have any chance please visit Fukushima

Was shopping the other day in Nihonbashi and saw this akabeko and thought it was really cute so I decided to take a photo of it. The name was quite funny to me as well. Instead of the usual "akabeko" this was a "nemubeko," or "tired-beko" basically, and you can see how the eyes are actually half way shut instead of the normally wide-open eyes, giving it the tired look lol. I've always wanted to try an akabeko experience as I love traditional Japanese crafts and akabeko in particular seem really fun to make. I've read a few posts in another places of people trying akabeko workshops and having a really fun time. I haven't used papier mache since I was a kid either so it'd probably be a nostalgic experience for sure. If I do try an akabeko workshop, I think I'll make a "nemubeko" as well lol
