I went ❣️ to the Kurashiki Bikan area of Okayama Prefecture to see [Spring Night Light] Light up of Japanese umbrellas along the river was very cool and beautiful ❣️ It is 😃 a wonderful Events of [Spring evening light] in the Kurashiki Bikan district that shows a completely different face from the daytime In the daytime, the Bikan district was a very fun place with ❣️ many buildings that retain the faces of the Edo period, and there were many Souvenir shops and Restaurants in harmony with the Sea cucumber wall, historic cityscape, and rich nature I would definitely like to ❣️ go and play slowly again

I went ❣️ to "Arimatsu", a town that is Located inside Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture but retains the faces of the Edo period Arimatsu was a teahouse settlement between Chiryu no Shuku and Narumi inn inn on the former Tokaido Highway that connected Edo and Kyoto, and flourished as a tie-dye production area, and was the perfect place ❣️ for a kimono trip It is a wonderful town where you can touch the atmosphere of the Edo period. I was 😃 exposed to a lot of cultural techniques and things in Japan, such as facilities where you can experience tie-dyeing, museums, and merchant's houses

This is ❣️ the view from the moat of Hikone Castle in Hikone City, Shiga Prefecture The houseboat of Hikone Castle's moat Roux was also operatedThe stone walls, 😊 water gates, Turrets and the national treasure Hikone Castle keep were ❣️ magnificent The three-layer structure of [Ishigaki], [Earthen mound], and [Ishigaki], which can be seen along the inner moat near the main gate of Hikone Castle, is called a bowl-maki waist-maki stone wall, and it seems to be ❣️ a special stacking method that can only be seen in a small number of castles (Edo Castle and part of Aizuwakamatsu Castle) If you look at it while strolling from the outside, you can clearly see that the stone wall is in the shape of three beautiful bands. Looking at the beautifully stacked stones, I felt 😃 that the people of Japan in the past were particular about the meticulousness and delicacy If you go to Hikone Castle, please enjoy ❣️ the beauty of not only the castle tower but also the moat and stone walls

I went ❣️ to the Kurashiki Bikan area of Okayama Prefecture to see [Spring Night Light] In the Kurashiki Bikan district, the historic cityscape and rich Nature are in perfect harmony, and the buildings that retain the face of the Edo period are lined up, and the scenery along the river is particularly beautiful Squid ❣️ Light up of Japanese umbrellas along the river was very cool and beautiful ❣️ The willow trees and small boats also gave me 😃 a strong sense of the faces of the Edo period

Hello, I'm Minamoto. Shosenkyo Gorge is growing warmer day by day, and the cherry blossom season has arrived! Many people walking outside are already wearing short sleeves. What I recommend this time is a one-way trekking route of about 3 km! This season feels wonderful and is perfect for walking! First, park your car in the prefectural parking lot and stroll along the promenade. Walk slowly while taking in the granite rock faces, strange rock formations, and the flowing river... The whole Shosenkyo area is a power spot, with a "dragon vein" of energy flowing from Mt. Fuji that purifies your mind and body!!! After your walk, enjoy shopping and dining in the Takinoue area and along Crystal Street. Shosenkyo is a nature-rich spot about a 25-minute drive from JR Kofu Station, making it an easy visit from Tokyo. If you have the time, please come to Shosenkyo to recharge your energy! We look forward to seeing you.

Introducing hands-on tours you can enjoy in Hokkaido’s Tokachi region 😄 ~Enjoyed on a wooden deck at the farm~ Savor Matsuhashi Beef BBQ at Matsuhashi Farm in Sarabetsu Village Matsuhashi Farm has run livestock operations in Sarabetsu Village for over 90 years. The farm manages every stage from breeding and fattening to sales, and also grows wheat and soybeans. Yasuhiro Matsuhashi, the fourth-generation owner, is rethinking Tokachi agriculture, shifting from yield- and income-focused farming to sustainable, self-sufficient practices. His current theme is stockpiling and seed preservation so the next generation will not go hungry. The cattle raised by Mr. Matsuhashi are called Matsuhashi Beef. They focus on preserving the beef’s natural lean flavor with minimal marbling. This plan lets you taste that proud beef on a BBQ terrace built on the farm grounds. From the wooden deck you can see vast fields. Eating locally raised beef amid a panorama that seems to blend into the fields makes the flavor especially memorable.
