The spring water from Mt. Yotei in Niseko exceeded 💧 30 degrees Celsius even though it was Hokkaido, but it was a very cool and abundant time that reminded me of the importance of a Water source. It was around the time that Niseko's water problem was a hot topic.

In September, a 16-inch mini velo crossed the Shikoku Mountains from Kochi to Matsuyama From Kochi, we passed along the Niyodo River, climbed a steep slope, climbed a steep slope, and finally reached the Shikoku Karst The scenery I saw there was so magnificent that I felt a sense of accomplishment that I was able to reach the ceiling of Shikoku with my own power, and I experienced an Impression that I will never forget for the rest of my life The karst terrain jutting out at an elevation of 1,400 meters on the border between Kochi Prefecture and Ehime prefectures seems to be somewhere else that is not Japan, but if you shift your gaze to the side, you will see steep mountains unique to Japan, reaffirming that it is Japan after all The contrast between the blue, white, and green that seems to symbolize summer, and the ridge that stretches endlessly from east to west Shikoku in the summer was the strongest And at night, I make dinner, spread out the shroud, and take a light nap At 10:00 p.m., I felt something and crawled out of the tent, and there was a starry sky everywhere I looked The Milky Way rising from the cloudless Shikoku Mountains It's only been a little over 20 years of my life, but it was the most beautiful Milky Way in my life I landed alone in Shikoku, carrying heavy camping equipment, riding a bicycle with small tires, and finally arrived at this place with a really tough feeling in the extreme heat, and this impression must have been the reason why I was so impressed I wonder if I will be able to encounter such impressions in the rest of my life. No, maybe I'm traveling by bicycle to meet people Rather than comfort, stability, and security, I want an overwhelmingly uplifting impression For that reason, I can't help but feel that I can overcome any difficulties on my own Because it is a Japan place, I want more people to experience everything that can be felt in the style of bicycle × travel

Shimonada Station at sunset At Shimonada Station, Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture. In late March, the sun sets over the Seto Inland Sea in front of the station. Am I the only one who feels that there is something sacred about the roof of the platform and the telegraph pole that stand out black in contrast?
