Autumn at Binchu Matsuyama Castle 2019.11.21 The castle tower, which stands near the summit of Mt. Usushi at a Elevation of 430 meters, is National Important Cultural Property and Located in the tallest mountain castle with an existing castle tower. Origin from the Kamakura period, when Jitou Akiba Shigenobu of Arihan Township (present-day Arihan Towns, Takahashi City) built a castle on Mt. Omatsu, and in 1683 (Tenwa San) it was repaired by Mizutani Katsumune over a period of three years, and it became the current castle tower. Since this area connects San'in and Sanyo and intersects the main east-west highways, fierce battles were constantly fought during the Warring States period, and the castle owner was constantly changing hands at a dizzying pace. Around Tojozaka, a huge sheer rock wall with a height of more than 10 meters rises, and you can see the appearance of the "impregnable castle" where the people of the old days rolled their tongues. The contrast between the white plastered walls and the black waist board, the beautiful castle tower shines against the blue of the sky. Autumn leaves on the trees near Otemon in autumn, and the view of the rock walls covered in fiery vermilion is spectacular. There are only 12 castle towers in Japan that exist before the Edo period. Among them, only this Binchu Matsuyama Castle still has a castle tower as a mountain castle. The Observation deck overlooking Binchu Matsuyama Castle floating in the sea of clouds (Unkai Observation deck) is a point where you can see the castle tower of Binchu Matsuyama Castle from the side, which stands on the top of Mt. Usushi at an Elevation of 430 Meters. Especially in the early morning from autumn to Spring, the sea of clouds Unfolds all over, and if you are lucky, you can see "Binchu Matsuyama Castle floating in the sea of clouds" as shown in the photo. However, a sea of clouds does not occur unless weather conditions such as a large temperature difference between day and night and no wind are met. In addition, if the sea of clouds is too thin or too thick, you will not be able to see "Binchu Matsuyama Castle floating in the sea of clouds". Period when the sea of clouds occurs is in the early morning of late September ~ early April. There are snow from December to the end of February. The hours are from dawn to about 8 am, and you can expect thick morning fog, especially in the early morning of late October ~ early December. One of the criteria for determining the conditions for the appearance of a sea of clouds is "good weather and a large difference in temperature between morning and daytime".

It is a manju flower blooming in the Kinchakuda field in Hidaka City, Saitama Prefecture. Also known as Red Spider Liliies, a carpet of colorful red Carpet of flowers Unfolds during the Period.

Kasuga-Taisha Shrine, a shrine located in Nara Park, is the headquarters of about 3,000 Kasuga-Taisha Shrines throughout Japan and is also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the main God of worship enshrined at Kasuga-taisha Shrine, Takemikazuchi no Mikoto, was originally the god of Kashima Jingu Shrine in Ibaraki Prefecture. In the second year of Jingo Kageun Jingoken (768), Taketsuchi came from Kashima Jingu to Mount Spring on a white deer. At this time, it is said that the white deer on which Taketsuchi was riding gave birth to a child in Nara, which is the Roux of Nara's deer.

Speaking of red spider liliies Saitama prefecture Kinchakuda spider lilies Park in Hidaka City The whole area is dyed crimson with red spider liliies (spider lilies), and it looks like a red carpet. This year, I visited on a day when it was raining without the weather, but the rain-soaked red spider lililies were quite and.

Sano-kaze Shinshu Teyaki Senbei Honpo On this day, food lover Kasai visited Shinshu Teyaki Senbei Honpo. This hand-baked senbei shop has been at this location for about 35 years. On the day, President Hiroko Kitahara, who also bakes the senbei, showed us around. Stepping inside, the first thing that struck me was the wide variety. For a true senbei fan like Kasai, the selection was almost bewildering 🍘. Among them were many kinds, including shimi senbei and lacquered senbei. Popular No.1 is nori No.2 is twice-dipped No.3 is apple senbei Next is nozawana wasabi Nozawana wasabi is quite unusual, isn’t it? You often see nozawana in prefectural souvenir shops, but “nozawana wasabi” is rare. Apple, nozawana, and wasabi are all Nagano specialties. Quince is a specialty of Suwa. Apricot, matcha, white sugar, brown sugar, shichimi, ichimi, miso, negi miso, walnut miso, garlic, and more… There may be more varieties here than anywhere else in Nagano Prefecture. Kasai’s recommendations are “garlic” and “twice-dipped.” The garlic offers a subtle garlic aroma, while the twice-dipped has a rich, well-infused flavor that lets you enjoy the savory depth of soy sauce. Because they are hand-baked, the texture is superb—this shop is recommended for those who like firm senbei. Among the standout items is “Fukutoku”!!! Some of you may recognize the name “Fukutoku.” It was made by President Kitahara’s grandfather. Unlike fortune cookies, Fukutoku contains a lucky charm inside!!! President Kitahara has apparently succeeded in reviving it in her generation, wanting to restore it somehow. And above all, Shinshu Teyaki Senbei Honpo is hand-baked and right in front of the Grand Shrine!!! They sell by hand, and the shop sits very close to the torii of the Main Shrine ⛩. When visiting Suwa Grand Shrine’s Main Shrine, be sure to look for your favorite flavor or souvenirs at Shinshu Teyaki Senbei Honpo, and take a stroll along the North Approach. ◎ Shinshu Teyaki Senbei Honpo 📍 201 Nakasu, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture 392-0015 (Suwa Grand Shrine North Approach) ☎ 0266-58-1235 Hours: Weekdays 9:30 AM–4:30 PM (may vary) : Sat, Sun, and holidays 9:00 AM–5:00 PM ◎ Closed: Open year-round
