The Sai River flowing through Azumino receives the Hotaka River and the Takase River here. This spot is the confluence of the three rivers. Many rivers that flow down from the Northern Alps merge into a single river at this point.

October 23rd Azumino, where the Northern Alps and pastoral landscapes are beautiful Today’s clear autumn sky let us see all the way to the mountains of Hakuba! The rice ears have already been completely harvested, but delicious rice will be planted again next year.

October 23rd Azumino in autumn Today the sun felt warm during the day, and a walk with views of the Northern Alps was perfect! Be careful, as mornings and evenings are cold.

Cosmos blooming in a fallow rice field The Northern Alps are turning color, and Azumino has grown chilly in the mornings and evenings.

Have you seen the Minamimaki Village logo? When I first saw it, I thought, "What is this?", but this logo actually has a meaningful design. Against a backdrop featuring Yatsugatake (Mt. Akadake, Mt. Yokodake, and Mt. Ioudake), the symbol of Minamimaki Village, and a star motif representing the beautiful night sky of Nobeyama Highlands—one of Japan’s three best stargazing spots—the village name "minamimakimura" is expressed as "mmm." I find it to be a very well-crafted logo. We would be delighted if you used this mark in various situations to help promote Minamimaki Village! Anyone may freely use it as long as they follow the usage rules. However, prior approval is required for commercial sales. For details, please see below. https://www.minamimakimura.jp/main/mmmlogo.html...

This is one of the photos when I went to Kamikochi. Maintenance, fascinated by the unspoiled nature on the other side of the road, I pressed the shutter. I deliberately took a dark shot so that I could convey a quiet space.
