The first picture is that although it is winter, everyone's enthusiasm for Sensoji Temple has not been interrupted, and the fire in their hearts cannot be extinguished by the surrounding temperature.
The second picture is Mt. Fuji on the day I separated from the person I cared for, and the white smoke on Mt. Fuji is like the gratitude I have in my heart for the person I took care of.
The third sign was that the sun almost touched Hakone Shrine, but at that time, due to the time, he could not wait for the moment when he overlapped with the sun, as if life was full of regrets, could not be perfect, but had a different experience because it was not perfect.

Everyone eats around the table, so it's delicious ♪

A small village with a population of about 1,400 people.

Fresh vegetables received from farmers in the Village, which cannot be tasted in the city, and handmade miso made by everyone at the beginning of this year, were used to enjoy delicious soup that can only be tasted here.

I really enjoyed chatting with everyone and having casual conversations.

Implementation of this food education event that gives you a sense of Satoyama life changes the content depending on the season.
Not only people in the Village but also people from outside the Village are allowed to participate, and several people participate each time.

In the future, we would be happy if not only domestic but also overseas people who are interested in living in Japan could participate.

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. 😌

Momosuke Bridge【National Important Cultural Property】

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 along with the Maintenance of Tenpaku Park in the surrounding area, it was restored as a modernization heritage (Nagiso Town Tangible Cultural Property)!
In 1994 (Heisei 6), it was designated as a [National Important Cultural Property].

✅ Highlights
・ A powerful suspension bridge built at the largest width of the Kiso River!
At that time, a trolley rail for transporting materials was laid in the center of the bridge, so it has been restored so that traces of it can be seen. Please take a ✨ look
・ In Spring, you can also enjoy the cherry blossoms (Someiyoshino) blooming on the side of Nagiso Station. In addition, there is an azalea garden Thereare on the Takadai of "Tenpaku Park" where the Momosuke Bridge is located. Around the beginning of April, about 400 azaleas of 6 kinds, including the town flower "Mitsuba azaleas", bloom!
・ From the Observation decks opposite the azalea garden, you can see the Momosuke Bridge from above.
・You can go down to the river park from the middle of the Momosuke Bridge.
・ Spring, summer, autumn and winter, all seasons are recommended. Especially in Spring, cherry blossoms, Mitsuba azaleas, and peaches bloom all at once 🌸

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 and a main store near the Suwa Lake, and there are two stores in the Suwa City of Kamisuwa Station, one in front of Kamisuwa Station. The company was founded in 1929 in front of Kamisuwa Station 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 there is also an eat-in space! Everyone, please invite your friends to tea time and enjoy it.

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.
