I have experienced ❄️ snowshoeing in Shiga Highlands Activities that can be enjoyed even by those who do not ski or snowboard! If you wear snowshoes, you can 😳 walk in areas that you can't enter during the green season and even on ponds! !️ The Torii (shrine gate) gate is ⛩ covered in snow Have a snowy white field to yourself 👣 where no one walks We also found 🐾 several footprints of animals such as rabbits and foxes Impression ✨️ by all of them are valuable experiences Why don't you experience snowshoeing that makes everyone from children to adults smile together? It depends on the remaining snow, but it seems that you can ♪ enjoy it until around the May holidays For details, check 👀 the Home page of the Shiga Highlands Nature Conservation Center. https://shizenhogo-center.shigakogen.gr.jp/guide_winter/...

Snowy Moominvalley ☃️ This is located in Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture Tove Jansson Akebono Children's Forest Park. Moominvalley with snow was a fantastic atmosphere 🤤 I'm 🤭 sure the hibernating Moomins are also enjoying it

📍 Akibayama Main Shrine Akiba Shrine (841 Ryoka, Spring Town, Tenryu-ku, Hamamatsu-shi, Shizuoka) 【Overview】 Deep in the mountains of Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, at an elevation of 866 meters, is Akibayama Main Shrine Akiba Shrine. Mt. Akiba is called Mt. Shintai, and it was founded in the 2nd year of Wado (709 AD). It is the Main Shrine of Akiba Shrine, which has more than 400 companies nationwide. ---------------- and Lower Shrine and Upper Shrine, the photograph shows the "Torii (shrine gate) of happiness" in the Upper Shrine. Akibayama is also very famous as the god of fire prevention, and as a local in Hamamatsu City, I am very indebted to him. Even as a child, even if you don't understand the kanji "Akiha-san!", the sound is familiar to your ears. In fact, when I was mentally ill, the first thing my mother brought me to for a change of pace was the Lower Shrine in Akibayama. (Actually, he wanted to take me to the Upper Shrine, but considering my physical strength and physical condition, he decided to go down to the Lower Shrine.) ） That's how important the shrine is to me. Now that I have moved to Tokyo and am living happily, this photo was taken when I stopped by early in the morning on my way back to my parents' house. In fact, on this day, when I arrived at the Car parking lot in Akibayama, I and trouble that my Car was about to break down. However, fortunately, I was able to reach the cars parking lot without stopping in the middle of the slope. In addition, in the restroom of the Car parking lot, I was able to collect the Water used for the worst first aid, and on the way back, I was able to go down and slide safely into the car parts store while cooling the engine. Akibayama helped us with this as well. That's how I feel. ---------------- It may be difficult to visit because of the distance from Hamamatsu Station on the Shinkansen, but I have no regrets about going. It is a shrine that can be affirmed. If you're lucky, you may be able to see a sea of clouds or as far away as Enshu Nada. As for me, I recommend visiting in the morning. It's a place ☺ where the air is clean, there are few people, and your mind is calm. 【！ Caution! Please refrain from destroying the scenery of the shrine, polluting it, or causing inconvenience.

📍 Hakone Owakudani Owakudani is located in the Hakone area of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Owakudani was formed by an Eruption about 3,000 years ago. It is one of the few spots in Japan where you can feel the earth alive up close with the smell of sulfur and the smoke that rises. On this day, there were a few clouds, but since the Elevation of Owakudani is high, I was able to see Mt. Mount Fuji and Lake Ashi very beautifully without obstruction.

📍 Tama River Sengen Shrine The shrine is located a 2-minute walk from Tama River Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line, Tama River Line, Meguro Line, Namboku Line, and Mita Line. The God of worship is the god who protects the mountain greenery, Princess Kibana Sakiya. This photo shows the entrance to the shrine (approach to the temple). Since it was the Time Slot / Time of Day when the sun was setting, the photo created a solemn atmosphere. The sunset that you can see at the end of the climb is very beautiful, and it is one of my favorite shrines. 【！ Caution!
