Autumn leaves I saw when I walked around Saga Park in Kyoto last fall. On this day, I walked nearly 10,000 steps

I couldn't go to the Expo, so I wandered around Osaka Station. There was a myak myaku in front of the station, watching over people's lives.

Happo Pond in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. I wanted to see the moonlit view of the three mountains of Hakuba reflected in Happo Pond, so I visited by night hike on a night when the moon was out and there was no wind. The view of Mt. Hakuba, Mt. Tsurushi, and Mt. Hakuba reflected in the Happo Pond is the best.

Japan view of Mt. Yarigatake from Okuho Takadake, the world-famous Northern Alps. The sun was rising, and the pitch-black world was illuminated with red. We climbed to the top of the mountain in the middle of the night and waited patiently in the freezing temperature of 1 degree Celsius. It was worth waiting while shivering in the cold, and we were able to welcome the best sunrise.

Amakusa West Coast 🍁 Autumn Kiln Tour — Introducing Participating Kilns / 06 Takahama-yaki Juho-gama The 36th Amakusa West Coast Autumn Kiln Tour will take place over five days from Thursday, October 9 to Monday, October 13 (a public holiday), with six kilns in Reihoku and Amakusa City serving as venues. 😊 During the event, new works will be exhibited and sold, and special discount sales will take place, so please take this opportunity to visit and enjoy Amakusa ceramics and the scenery of the Amakusa West Coast. 🌊🌅 (Note: Tenjiku Gama will not participate. 🙇‍♀️🙇) 🍁🍁🍁 Introducing the participating kilns / Heading south along the Amakusa West Coast brings you to the Takahama area. Takahama-yaki Juho-gama is a kiln that forms part of the Ueda family’s history; the Ueda family served for generations as village headmen in this area. In the Meiji era, grape cultivation thrived in the Takahama district, and the area became widely known for “Takahama grapes.” The town was once described as being covered in vines. Though grape growing faced extinction at one point, the local promotion association’s efforts revived it, and you can now see grape trellises across the region. Takahama-yaki Juho-gama is well known for its mirumon (seaweed motif), but the kiln’s painted grape designs also keep Takahama’s history alive. By the time the Autumn Kiln Tour takes place, the grape harvest will already be over, but it is delightful to reflect on the area’s past while admiring the grape motifs on the pottery. From Thursday, October 9 to Sunday, October 12 during the event, Ueda Family House, adjacent to Juho-gama, will host a workshop by illustrator Yoko Koda, along with food and craft stalls. Please see the posted images for details. 📍Takahama-yaki Juho-gama 598 Takahama Minami, Amakusa-cho, Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture 863-2804 TEL: 0969-42-1115 ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ The 36th Amakusa West Coast 🍁 Autumn Kiln Tour Period: Thursday, October 9 – Monday, October 13 (public holiday) 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM Venues: 〈Reihoku〉Uchida Sarayama ware, Kobo Kaze, Mugen Kiln, Unshugama (Note: Tenjiku Gama will not participate.) 〈Amakusa City〉Takahama-yaki Juho-gama, Amakusa Karatsu Gozakameyama Kiln (Jurō Kiln) 🍁Two stamp rallies run at the same time! ※A digital stamp rally linked to the Kumamoto Health Points program 📱 ※A stamp rally offering a chance to win products from your chosen kilns (entry forms are available at each kiln 📃) Inquiries: Amakusa Ceramic Stone Research and Development Promotion Council Secretariat (within Reihoku Town Hall, Commerce and Tourism Division) TEL: 0969-35-3332

View of 🚡 Mt. Tsukuba Ropeway Squid The view of the ropeway Squid on the Return from Mt. Ontai was good. The angel's ladder was out and it was beautiful. ^^

Mt. Ontai Summit / Mt. Tsukuba It is the summit of Mt. Ontai, the highest peak of Mt. Tsukuba. Mt. Tsukuba also has Mt. Mt. Nantai, but I climbed both. Mt. Mt. Nantai was steep and hard, but it was easy to climb Mt. Ontai. At the top of the mountain, there was no fence to prevent falling, so it was very close (^^;

Power spot Tsukubasan Shrine ⛩ This is the Tsukubayama Shrine when I traveled to Ibaraki. The mountain itself is a shintai! I've been given power. ^^

The pond around Tenryu Temple that I went to with a friend. It was impressive that I could see something rainbow-like on the surface of the water.
