Title:Apples from the Sky

On Sunday, October 15, we held a sightseeing training tour for the townspeople. It is held every year with the aim of experiencing the tourism resources of the Engaru Town where you live and conveying its magnificence to both inside and outside the town. The main part of this year's tour is to visit the obsidian outcrop "Akaishiyama Hachigosawa Outcrop" in the Shirataki area. This outcrop deep in the mountains snows early, so it was the last visit of the year. The participants were overwhelmed by the dynamic outcrop of Hachigozawa and moved by the beauty of the autumn leaves. I would like to continue the tour to experience the treasures of Engaru Town.

I went to Jozankei This is Shiraito Falls!　It was cool

I went to Jozankei! This is near Futami Park and Futami Bridge Jozankei is varied, so I took a lot of pictures. I was about to run out of capacity...

I went to Jozankei! This is the road around souvenir shops and foot baths! !!

Town and sky Looking back through my photo folders, I found several shots of summer skies. Here are some photos of the sky seen from the town for everyone to enjoy.

This is the scene at Suzuran Park in Otofuke on October 15th! At last the weather has turned cooler, and the autumn leaves have progressed.

I helped with the grape harvest in the vineyards of TokachigawaOnsen! This year the temperatures were warm, and the grapes that soaked up plenty of sun turned out very sweet☺️

Secretly licking 📸 honey It should have been caught.

Moreover, after 5 minutes ... Preparing ^^ breakfast while looking at the sun pillar from Rusutsu Resort Beautiful ^^ shadows

After another 5 minutes... For ^^ a clear sun pillar

Five minutes later... Sun pillars began to appear!

It is the morning glow from Rusutsu Resort on an autumn morning, ^^ and the color changes ^^ every moment.

Potato digging A potato field tended as a hobby. After October began, about seven of us gathered on a holiday and went to dig potatoes! First we removed the weeds and leaves lying on the soil, then used digging forks to unearth the potatoes carefully without piercing them. After digging them up, we left them in the sun for a while to dry their skins, then sorted the potatoes by size—large and small—and put them into bags before loading them onto the truck. My leg muscles still ache even after two or three days (laughs). It felt great to work up a good sweat after such a long time!

Today, we will introduce ♪ New Otani Inn Sapporo's original brand product [All-purpose kelp soup stock]. New Otani Inn Sapporo Executive Chef Recommended! Normally, when it comes to kelp dashi, five types of kelp powder are used, but seven types of kelp powders from Hokkaido Hidaka kelp, Rausu kelp, Rishiri kelp, true kelp, gagome kelp, catfoot kelp, and long-cut kelp are used, and five types of carefully selected knots from domestic ingredients are used. 12 kinds of ingredients are blended in a well-balanced manner to create 💁 ♂️ a Japanese-style dashi with an elegant, fragrant and gentle taste that does not use chemical seasonings. Even at the popular breakfast buffet at New Otani Inn Sapporo, you can enjoy it with freshly made onigiri or freshly baked teppanyaki onigiri 🍙 🍘 over ochazuke! This is very delicious 🤤. Perfect 👍 for Japanese souvenirs In Japan, we deliver from 3 bags at the online shop!

Hello to everyone watching Cool Japan Video! This is the Iwanai Tourism Association. We bring you travel and event information about Iwanai-cho, Hokkaido, facing the Sea of Japan. For our first post, we’ll introduce Iwanai-cho and its sightseeing spots! Iwanai-cho sits on Hokkaido’s west coast and is famous as the birthplace of asparagus. The town’s name is said to come from the Ainu words iwau meaning sulfur and nai meaning river. The population is 11,173 (as of the end of August, Reiwa 5). Because it faces the Sea of Japan, winters are severe, but it is relatively mild compared with other parts of Hokkaido. Average summer temperatures reach around 25°C, with highs near 32°C. Winter brings snowy scenery that is perfect for skiing and snowboarding. Iwanai-cho pumps up deep seawater from the Sea of Japan and uses it in local industry. At the Iwanai Deep Sea Water Facility (the local industry support center) in town, residents and visitors can purchase deep seawater. This mineral-rich deep seawater is also excellent for cooking. Iwanai-cho offers stunning natural surroundings and historical sites where you can enjoy a wonderful time. Here are some of Iwanai-cho’s most attractive sightseeing spots! Along the Doudou Iwanai Port Line, Roadside Station Iwanai and the product information center Taramaru-kan provide tourist information about Iwanai-cho. Please use them as a reference for sightseeing. Local specialties such as tarako and kazunoko, plus taramaru goods, are also on sale. Kikoin Temple lets you experience Japanese culture and is the oldest temple in Iwanai-cho. Its wooden Buddha, entirely covered in gold leaf and standing 6.8 meters high, is designated Iwanai Town Tangible Cultural Property No. 1 and is truly impressive. Kikoin is about a 10-minute walk from Roadside Station Iwanai. Maruyama Observatory, at the foot of Mount Iwanai, is a recognized Japan Nightscape Heritage site and a must-see attraction. It’s beautiful by day, and the sunset and night views are especially recommended. You get a panoramic view over Iwanai-cho and the Kaitan Peninsula. Iwanai also hosts the Kida Kinjiro Museum of Art, dedicated to Nihonga painter Kinjiro Kida, who spent his life here. Enjoy Kida’s works arranged by period. The museum also stages exhibitions by other artists and concerts. Outdoor fans can enjoy hiking, camping, and many nature-rich spots. ■ Camping / Iwanai Auto Campsite Marine View This campsite features a vast lawn and offers cottages, RV sites, car sites, and free tent sites to suit different needs. The center house has showers, a shop, laundry, a library, and a meeting room. ■ Hiking / Mount Iwanai and Mt. Raiden Mount Iwanai, which continues from Iwanai Auto Campsite, rises to 1,086 m and is the Niseko range’s easternmost peak on the Sea of Japan side. Iwanai Onsen and nearby ski areas make good rest and recreation spots. Next to it stands Mt. Raiden at 1,211 m. In spring, alpine plants color the slopes, offering a delightful trail experience surrounded by nature. ■ Rental cycles / Kikoin Temple Exploring Iwanai-cho’s scenic spots by bicycle is recommended. Kikoin offers free rental bicycles. The rental desk is at the temple office, so please visit if you wish to borrow one. Iwanai-cho has a wide range of comfortable accommodations to meet travelers’ needs. Choose from hotels, guesthouses, or campsites to suit your trip to Iwanai. Various events and festivals are held in Iwanai-cho. The summer Iwanai Doto Festival fireworks display lights up Iwanai Port with 5,000 shells reflecting on the water for a spectacular show. Stage events and food trucks add to the gourmet offerings. (Contents from the August 2023 event) Finally, here is information on hometown tax donation gifts packed with Iwanai specialties. We offer a variety of local products as return gifts. Popular gifts include salted kazunoko, a special roast chicken, and the Kurashima Milk cheese and butter set! Tarako and nishin-meshi are also highly recommended. This time we shared part of the charm of Iwanai-cho, Hokkaido! Please visit Iwanai-cho and enjoy a special time. We look forward to your continued support!

I found a dragonfly when I took a walk with my friends. It was fun that the two of us secretly approached and took pictures so as not to run away. I was too scared to get any closer. But the dragonfly was very beautiful.

[A Giant Pumpkin Appears!?] I found giant pumpkins growing just beyond Setogyu Pass, past the center of Nishiokoppe. Apparently, some of them had been eaten by deer... I'd like to use them as Halloween decorations! The last photo shows a mini pumpkin someone shared with me.

The temperature is dropping day by day, and it's getting a little chilly, but the bears still seem to be 🐻💦 a little hot.
