This year, too, I photographed the First sunrise from the Shinsui Park on the Coast of Atami. This year, it wasn't so cold, there was no wind, and the conditions were perfect!
We waited at the third construction zone before 6:00, and the Horizon began to turn orange around 6:15, and the light began to shine after 6:50. There was a tree a little underneath, so I hurriedly moved to the second construction zone and took a picture here as well. It was a very beautiful First sunrise.
As in every year, many citizens and tourists gathered at Shinsui Park early on to photograph the First sunrise of 2025 (Reiwa 7).

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.
