Snow Drawing After an unusually warm spell, snow is falling across many areas again. In Nishiokoppe, snow has once more covered the ground. On the wide white canvas, we used colored water made with food coloring to draw pictures and write words! We prepared three food-color shades: red, yellow, and blue. The children mixed them to create greens, browns, and even blacks. They scooped up the colored snow and showed it to us. By the way, the temperature was minus 7°C. Even with a fire going, you can’t hide the cold in your feet… Thanks to the bonfire, we could also enjoy roasted marshmallows, so that made it all worth it.

I visited Indian Natsuzora, which opened last month at Roadside Station Otofuke Natsuzora no Furusato! I ordered the Natsuzora exclusive hamburger you can only get here. It paired a juicy patty made from a blend of "Otofuke Town Kino e-Beef" and pork with the town’s beloved curry. It was so tasty that I finished it in no time 😊 The Natsuzora shop also sells frozen curry, making it a great souvenir✨ After the meal, I had soft serve from SKYPIEA, the takeout-only shop at the same roadside station. It was a snowy, cold day, but Yotsuba soft serve is delicious anytime✨ It was a day fully satisfied by the roadside station’s gourmet offerings. ・Indian Natsuzora Hours 10:00–18:00 (Last order 17:30 ) Closed From November to March: every Monday (If Monday is a public holiday, the following day) Year-end and New Year holidays (December 31–January 3) Closed three days each in May and August and one day in November ・SKYPIEA Hours 10:00–18:00 (Last order 17:30 ) Closed From November to March: every Monday (If Monday is a public holiday, the following day) Year-end and New Year holidays (December 31–January 3) ・Roadside Station Otofuke Natsuzora no Furusato Hours 9:00–18:00 Closed From November to March: every Monday (If Monday is a public holiday, the following day) Year-end and New Year holidays (December 31–January 3) 2 Natsuzora, Otofuke Town TEL 0155-65-0822

Snow-Covered Miya-no-Mori The third Wildlife Class for the village elementary school students This time, the theme was “Let’s Search for Treasures in the Winter Forest!” The highlight was a snowshoe treasure hunt through Miya-no-Mori, which spreads across and above the ski area. Each treasure had a transmitter attached, so using a tool called a Yagi antenna, the children traced signals while climbing up and down the slopes. When listening to the sound from the receiver, everyone focused and strained their ears to find the direction with the least noise. The weather was clear. With the air so crisp, it was an ideal day for walking through the snowy Miya-no-Mori. The kids seemed a little disappointed that the many treasures they found were not food or warm drinks, but they did take home venison stew as a souvenir. On a personal note, I was also happy to reunite with the university student I met during the summer camp session.

There is a photo of Merle with snow on his nose. What would you post?

"Washed Setoushi-kun" He should have fit snugly in the jacket pocket, but Setoushi-kun accidentally fell onto the road. He was dirtier than ever before, so we decided to wash him right away. When we put detergent on him and tried to soak him in water, he seemed to be made of a material that floats, and he bobbed up and down as he surfaced. It takes time for him to dry. We decide to wait patiently.

Cape Earth in Hokkaido is said to make the earth look round. When I visited to watch the sunrise, I encountered a break between snow and sunshine.

2024 is said to be the year when drift ice is commonplace. I took a picture of drift ice at dusk near the Utoro fishing port on the Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaido. The sky is orange but blue ice floes. This color was very beautiful. * I am not riding on an ice floe.

It is ✨ a lakebed track of Lake Ranbetsu It is also called a lake in the sky. The atmosphere seems to appear in a Ghibli movie. A very mysterious landscape. We went in the summer, so we were able to get into the lake! The lake was transparent and there were many small fish.

Biei 🏞️ It is also called Blue River because of its beautiful blue! 🩵 You can see 🥹 it on the other side of "Whitebeard Falls" in the previous post And it's connected to that famous "blue pond" in the previous posts ✨. I want 🩵 the beautiful blue to remain forever

Shirahige Falls 🏞️ in Biei This waterfall is located upstream of the famous "Blue Pond" that I posted a year ago!
