[Farewell, fallen leaves] Squid sunny autumn day with a temperature of 5 degrees. At Korakuen, the last major task of the year was to clean up the fallen leaves that had accumulated in the pond. Wear long gloves that cover your upper arms. Wear a torso or boots on your feet and go into the pond. Holding it in your hand is a bamboo bear. Oyster fallen leaves floating on the surface of the water and fallen leaves that have sunk Put it in an onion net and collect it. Lifting from the pond to the ground is also a physically demanding task. In order to drain the water as much as possible, I used an onion net from last year. I came up with a way to put it in. The ground team is also bending down to pick up fallen leaves. Beside me, with moss and mushrooms glittering in the sun, Setoushi-kun. It was a long time of work. It was probably the first time I set foot in Korakuen since the summer.

Signs of spring in Miyanomori A friend called me, so I wandered behind the shrine. At my feet, small blue flowers were blooming. Ezo-engosaku (erythronium-like spring flower) They say they also bloom around Kōrakuen. Climbing the steep slope of the ski area you find white Kita-kobushi blossoms in full bloom. At eye level I found buds that hadn’t opened yet. A fuzzy, downy flower bud had fallen to the ground. When I put it in my palm, it felt somehow cute. When the Kita-kobushi blooms, cherry blossoms are said to begin opening before long. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Four seasons #Miyanomori #Kita-kobushi #Ezo-engosaku

Photographed at the former Main Building of the Kyoto Prefectural Government Office The Shidarezakura weeping cherry blossoms in the courtyard is said to be the grandson of the first "Gion Shidarezakura weeping cherry blossoms" in Maruyama Park.

It is the embankment of the six roads in Nagano Prefecture. The reflection of the blue sky and cherry blossom trees was very beautiful.

Shaboten chicks 🌵 in the greenhouse of Cactus Park It was cute о ́∀'о

The city today The Ume Plum Ume Plum Shrine is in full bloom.

The seeds of the cosmos we planted last year fell and bloomed again this year.^^ It was wild like a weed, but it was shining very beautifully in the sun!

Guided stroll through the Flower Park Roadside Station Nishiokoppe Kamu features an attached Flower Park. On Saturday, September 23, we held an event in which participants explored the grounds with a gardener guide. This event has run for about five years, and this year’s edition invited visitors to enjoy the autumn natural garden. Autumn blooms such as asters, persicaria, and fujibakama (Eupatorium) add color to the park. It’s not only the flowers—apparently the trees and shrubs are grown with great care, and spots where grasses of different hues stand side by side are especially striking. I was surprised that about three people maintain the large Flower Park, and I’m excited to see how the plants planted in recent years will look five or ten years from now. The Flower Park remains open through October. Why not come and relax among the plants as you refresh from your travels?

🍁Taiki Town's Recommended Autumn Spots🍁 When it comes to places to feel autumn in Taiki Town, the stunning autumn leaves at Sakashita Senkyo stand out. It's tucked away a bit, so here are directions on how to get there! 1. On the Shimizu–Taiki Line (Hokkaido Route 55), you'll see a sign on the right if you come from Kamifutsunai, and on the left if you come from Taiki. Follow the arrow and turn. (Photo 2) 2. You will see the orange bridge “Bikei Bridge” ahead; continue across it. (Photo 3) 3. The paved road changes to gravel along the way. Keep going and you will pass the orange bridge “Sakashita Ohashi.” (Photo 4) 4. After passing another gray bridge you will spot a dairy farm. Go past the farm a short distance until the road splits left and right, then follow the left sign. The sign reads “Rekifune River Tributary Forest Road,” and this is where the forest road begins. (Photos 5–6) 5. Continue along the forest road for a while. Some sections get muddy after rain and fallen branches may block the way, so proceed slowly. (Photo 7) 6. You will arrive at Higata Bridge, which spans Sakashita Senkyo. (Photo 8) There is a small space on the right after crossing the bridge where you can park or make a U-turn. For more detailed directions, see the Visit Taiki topic article “How to Get to Sakashita Senkyo.” Use it as a reference and go enjoy the autumn scenery!

What do you think this is, sitting at the entrance of the tourist information center? The answer is a sub-bituminous peat layer that forms the base of the moor hot spring. It was created by the accumulation of reeds and other plants that once grew along the Tokachigawa riverside in ancient times. Plant-based moor hot spring water wells up through this peat layer. The humic substances (humin) in the peat combined with alkalinity create a silky, mild water quality, which is why it’s called a beauty bath. Moor hot springs are also registered as a Hokkaido Heritage; please come and experience them 🥰
