[Beware of ⚠️🦌 wild animals] Yamanouchi Town is an area with a large number of wild animals. In particular, Shiga Highlands is a habitat for antelope and deer, so you can be anywhere. It may come out suddenly while driving, so it is recommended 🦌🚗 to drive slowly at night³₃ You may be surprised to see an antelope that is more than 1 meter long, but antelopes are not animals that can harm people. Most of the time, when they see people, they go 😊 back to the mountains If you see one, keep an eye on it 🦌

Minagi Station on the Bobi Line in Okayama Prefecture. It is a retro station that has been carrying people and feelings since 1925 (at that time, it was the terminus of the Bobi South Line, the predecessor of the Bobi Line). There are many stations in the Chugoku region, including the Bobi Line, with such a retro atmosphere, so I would like to visit all of them someday.

We present seven recommended ways to spend time in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. Take time to face the mountain colors, the scent of the trees, the murmur of rivers, and the voice of the wind, and cherish moments to look inward as you enjoy how to spend your time in Shobara. 1 Satoyama (Rural Mountain Landscapes) Photo 1: Rice field scenery in Mikawachi Shobara still preserves pastoral landscapes where traditional ways of life persist and many kominka, or old private houses, that retain a nostalgic charm. Seeing how people live here, you feel a surprising sense of nostalgia despite it being your first visit. 2 Healing Photo 2: Kumano Shrine Step into a mysterious shrine precinct deep in the forest, surrounded by countless cedar trees, and ancient cedars older than a thousand years will greet you. As you move forward in awed silence, the fatigue of everyday life seems to wash away little by little. 3 Oishii (Delicious Food) Photo 3: Hiba Beef gourmet Eating fresh, locally sourced ingredients in the place they were harvested is one of this town’s great pleasures. The tender meat of Shobara’s branded Hiba beef, passed down from the oldest local cattle line, paired with crisp vegetables, brings a smile the moment you take a bite. 4 Botanical (Nature and Plants) Photo 4: National Bihoku Hillside Park A blue sky and a sea of flowers feel like stepping into a storybook. The blooms’ colors enchant you and make you eager for the next season. Surrounded by sweet fragrances, let easy conversation flow. 5 Activity Photo 5: Apple picking Pluck a cluster of glossy red apples and take a big bite! The juicy sweetness fills your mouth. Enjoy the different colors and shapes of each variety, and you’ll feel like a child again—so much so you might pick more than you need. 6 Relaxation Photo 6: Staying in a kominka Gentle mountains and clear air set the scene. Sunlight streaming into your lodging slows your sense of time, and the warmth of the wooden house soothes both body and mind. 7 Adventure Photo 7: Shobara Satoyama Rafting Surrounded by vast nature, move forward while feeling the fresh air and the river’s flow. Gripping your paddle, you’ll find yourself swept up in the action. The thrill of descending the river together with everyone is unforgettable.

In Kyoto Prefecture, on the way to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, you pass a very small shrine, and the gardens in the shrine are very delicate and beautiful, and when you walk in, the whole atmosphere is a huge contrast with the outside environment. In my opinion, this place is a space with a classical atmosphere that is more representative of Japan and Kyoto, and I believe that people many years ago enjoyed the same scenery as us.

On the weekend, my friends and I visit Hinoide, Kiyo Water, and Mansei Town in Shizuoka. I left the house early in the morning and took pictures of tea plantations and rivers with Mount Fuji in the background. Sunrise illuminated the tea plantation, and I was very impression by how beautiful it was. While walking along the fishing Village, we took pictures of the fishermen's yellowtail work and the sparkling seascape while walking through the Water. In Mansei Town, I took pictures of the old-fashioned townscape and old buildings, and felt the history and atmosphere of Shizuoka. The weather was a bit volatile, cloudy and sunny, but I think that added depth to the photos. In accordance with the changes in Nature, the timing of the shutter was devised. After the shoot was over, I talked with the Locals for a while, and when I showed them the photos, they said, "It's beautiful." Through the photos I took in Shizuoka, I was able to feel the beauty of Nature and the Gari of connecting with people. I want to continue to take many photos of memorable landscapes.
