This is a photo of my beloved Shiba Inu dog "Mametaro" taken in my garden. Born in Fukushima and raised in Hokkaido, he seems to love snow, and he moves quickly through places that are so deep that it is difficult for humans to walk. Mametaro's brown fur looks beautiful in the scenery that has become completely white in winter, so watching him take a walk in the snow is It is also one of my winter pleasure. In opposition to "Snow Miku", I secretly call it "Snow Mame" in my heart.

The days are still cold, but from around February next month, "Kawazu cherry blossoms" will continue to bloom, and "Someiyoshino" will bloom at the end of March, and you can enjoy the wonderful scenery! "Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property Saikai Bridge" It is a red bridge that connects Inoura Township, Seihi Town, Saikai City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and Hario Higashi Town, Sasebo City. The Saikai Bridge was built in October 1955 (Showa 30) to connect Sasebo City and the Nishisonogi Peninsula (Saikai City) to Inoura Seto, one of Japan's three major rapid tides. It is 316 m long and 42 m above sea level. At that time, the Saikai Bridge was the third largest bridge of this type in the world and the largest bridge in the East. It took four years from the start of construction and was completed using the best technology in Japan. Since whirlpools of up to 10 m in diameter occur at Inoura Seto, it was not possible to erect support pillars in the sea during construction, so the "sirder-type lifting method" was used, in which the pillars were protruded from both shores by precision operation, assembled, and finally closed at the center. 2020 (Reiwa 2) designated as a National Important Cultural Property on December 23, the first bridge built after the war. "Saikai Bridge Park" It is a tourist park with an area of 37 ha around the Saikai Bridge. Athletic and sledding slopes are also available, making it a popular park for Families. It is also recommended to bring a lunch box and have a picnic. In Spring, you can see about 1,000 cherry blossoms and the Saikai Bridge.

There is a promenade under the road, and there is also an observation window that allows you to look into the sea surface. The view from directly above during the high tide in March, when the whirlpool occurs, is a masterpiece!
