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. 😌

The Momosuke Bridge is one of the largest wooden suspension bridges in Japan with a total length of 247 meters and a width of 2.7 meters over the Kiso River, and you can still walk across it even now.
In the 11th year of the Taisho era, Momosuke Fukuzawa (son-in-law of Yukichi Fukuzawa), who was called the power king, built it as a 🌲🚃 material transportation route for the development of hydroelectric power generation on the Kiso River
As a Village road from 1950 (Showa 25), it was very useful for traffic in both bank villages and for local transportation such as high school and junior high school students commuting to school, but from around 1978 (Showa 53), it was aging and could not be repaired Authentic, so it was on the verge of abandonment. However, there are many voices for preservation and utilization, and Restrooms available was restored as a modernization heritage (Nagiso Town Tangible Cultural Property) along with the Maintenance of Tenpaku Park in the surrounding area!

2024.12.03 Maruyasu Tanakaya Main Store

On this day, the gluttonous Kasai was again lured by the sweet Aroma and said, "I visited the main store of Maruyasu Tanakaya.

The person who took time out of his busy schedule to talk to us was Mr. Tsuchihashi.
There is a main store near the Suwa Lake, and there are two stores in the Suwa City of the Kami-suwa Station store for Kami-suwa Station people. The company was founded in front of Kami-suwa Station in 1929 as Maruyasu Tanakaya. This year, it is a confectionery and cake shop that boasts a history of 95 years.
Speaking of Maruyasu Tanakaya? It is a "cheesecake entremet" that can also be ordered!! It seems that the beauty advisor Chizu Saeki introduced it as a more well-known opportunity. Cheesecake entremet itself is a flagship product that has been loved for 40 years. It is also shipped nationwide, so I hope that people from all over Japan will be able to enjoy it!

Maruyasu Tanakaya has a strong image of Western confectionery, but when it was first founded, it made Japanese sweets. The recipe from that time is still being used in "Yokan"! It is made with red beans and azuki beans carefully selected from the fact that we have been wholesaling Rice, so please enjoy yokan!
Mr. Tsuchihashi's recommendation is the country of ⇒ Shinano!! Gastronomical delicacies with chopped chestnuts in Butter castella and wrapped in lemon cream with a refreshing aroma! It has been loved for about 50 years, likened to the prefectural song "Shinano no Kuni" that the people of the prefecture love! Also, on the side, the ♪ country of Shinano is ~ 十州にぃ~ The old country name of 10 provinces is on the side of the packing paper!! I love this wrapping paper so much that I use the packing paper of the previous model as a teaching material.

Maruyasu Tanakaya There are a variety of sweets, so you can Restrooms available an eat-in space! Everyone, please invite your friends to tea time and enjoy it.

Today, I went to “Maruyasu Tanakaya Main branch”. They have another branch close to Kamisuwa station. They started in 1929. So, this year 95 years!!! Many Japanese traditional sweets shop has long history. This day, Mr. Tsuchihashi Managing Director talk to me.
Their shop’s famous product is “Cheese Cake Entreme”. It been loved for 40 years. Many media and magazine were coming in to the spotlight for Cheese Cake Entreme. They have online shop therefore, nationwide shipping. Please enjoy in your home.

I imaged Maruyasu Tanakaya making western sweets just like Cheese Cake Entreme. But it was wrong… At the beginning their shop, it was Japanese Traditional sweets shop. Yokan (sweet bean jelly) is as it was then.
Mr. Tsuchihashi’s recommendation is “Shinano no Kuni”. It is butter sponge cake inside chopped finely chestnut. Finally, Lemon cream covered it. Sounds so yummy, right? Definitely!!!

They have many kinds of sweets. If you come to Suwa city. Please try them! I bet you like!

Takaibashi (タカイバシ takaibashi)

Entrance to Yamada Hot Spring in Takayama Village Takai Bridge is located at the gateway to the Matsukawa Valleys.
In the colors of the Valleys that change in the four seasons, it is always dignified with its unchanging appearance.

Nagano Prefecture is said to have a clear color of the four seasons. Takaibashi is a place where you can feel the four seasons at a fixed point.
Valleys, budding in Spring, deep green in summer, Autumn leaves in autumn, and snowy scenery in winter.
A red bridge that snuggles up to the four seasons of the Valleys.

The scenery of Takai Bridge in winter is just cool!　It is the world view of ink painting.

Powder snow in the middle of winter does not stick to the branches, and it is a view that can be seen during this Period when there is a lot of wet snow, such as snow from rain.
Also, the day when the sun shines on the pure white Valleys, the snow sparkles, and the sky turns bright blue is also "beautiful". This is also one of the scenes of Takaibashi that I want to show.
The scenery that can be seen when the conditions are right is also the charm of Nature.

Cool scenery in a cool season I would love to see it.
