Kamakura in late autumn, Meigetsu-in. It is a temple that is always visited during the maple season. Round windows are also called windows of enlightenment, and they give peace of mind while reflecting different landscapes in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Maybe it's Nanbu ironware, but the iron kettle draws a beautiful silhouette.

Kinchakuda Manju Shaka Festival This year, the flowering was delayed due to the heat, but it is finally close to full bloom. As expected, it is the largest manju flower colony in Japan. It was a masterpiece.

Head to the Yokoya Kannon Observatory in Yokoya Valley, Nagano Prefecture The rows of autumn leaves on the side streets are a masterpiece. During the less popular early morning hours, you can monopolize the superb view of autumn leaves!

\You can attend the monthly festival from 7 am on October 1st/ This shrine holds a monthly festival on the first day of every month. Until now, the ceremony was held only by priests, but it is now possible to accept general attendance. At the beginning of the month, I pray to the gods for the safety and health of the Imperial Family, the nation, and the safety and health of the family of all worshippers of Yaei and Ujiko. Anyone can participate free of charge without reservation, and there will be a lecture by the priest after the ritual. It will be a valuable opportunity to visit the ascending hall other than prayer, so please feel free to come if it is convenient for you. Please note that this is not a personal prayer. Date and time: About 30 minutes from 7 a.m. on the 1st of every month excluding January 1 Location: Please come directly to the main shrine

Komadome water fall is considered Nasu's foremost waterfall. It is three meters wide and falls down around around twenty meters from a cliff on the Yosasa river. During autumn time it looks amazingly beautiful.

[Autumn Marche Held] The Autumn Marche took place over two days on September 17th and 18th. A tent stood at the entrance of Roadside Station Nishiokoppe Kamu, featuring chiffon cakes, Ezo deer meatballs, a flea market, and stalls selling Nishiokoppe-produced vegetables. Children from the elementary school prepared a lottery for kids and a popular "candy fishing" game where sweets were attached to magnets, which seemed to be a big hit! I couldn’t join this time, so I’m already looking forward to next year’s marche.

The golden rice terraces that make you feel the arrival of autumn are just about to be harvested. This is a terraced rice field protected in an area called "Kitaura Safety Temple" that spreads out in the mountainous area of Oga City, Akita Prefecture. Beyond the terraced rice fields, you can see the mountains of the "Three Mountains of Oga Mayama, Motoyama, and Mt. Momu", and clean spring water flows from the mountains, moistening the terraced rice fields and producing delicious rice. I'm looking forward to the delicious rice~.
