Today, we interviewed LEC COFFEE. It's a gingerman cookie. It's very, very pretty, isn't it? I also bought it, but it's a waste to eat it. ☺️

Kyoto Prefecture Miyama Karabuki no Sato Snow Festival It was a pity that there was no snow, but I wanted to take a panoramic view of the village of Miyama, so I climbed the snowy mountain alone Next time, I would like to see snow on the roof, but if that happens, there will be even more snow on the mountain side. Is it dangerous to climb snow? 🤔

Miyama Karabuki no Sato Snow Festival It was a pity that there was no snow, but I wanted to take a picture of the whole view of the village of Miyama, so I managed to climb the snowy mountain alone and took a hard picture. Of course, since it was a snowy mountain, there was no road, and it was almost a cliff climb, but 😅 on the way back, it was pitch dark and I managed to descend the mountain while getting lost on the way. 😌

SAMURAI Armor Samurai fought fair and square in one-on-one battles, which was the samurai way of fighting. During this time, it was not acceptable for the adversary to initiate a fight. If they did, they were considered "cowards. #osakacastle #samurai #calligraphy #katana

Photographed on December 15, 24. It is a one-year cheap sea bream lottery of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine. Orange is my favorite color, so I'm happy.

Hello! Today, I would like to introduce a little bit of the autumn and winter scenery of Shakotan. When the summer season of June ~ August ends, the number of customers drops sharply in Shakotan, but for those who want to go sightseeing slowly and calmly rather than the crowded summer season ~ we recommend sightseeing after September. If the weather is good and the sun is out, it is not as Squid as the summer season, but you can see the beautiful color of the sea of Shakotan Roux. In front of the cape, pampas grass shines, and there is also an autumn scenery such as a larch highway like a movie location and a landscape with silos. Also, in winter, the waves crashing against the rocks are so beautiful that they are sometimes compared to ink paintings. Sometimes a cat greets you in front of an old stone warehouse in the port, and I hope you can enjoy the scenery of Shakotan not only in the summer season.

Takaibashi (タカイバシ takaibashi) Entrance to Yamada Hot Spring in Takayama Village Takai Bridge is located at the gateway to the Matsukawa Valleys. In the colors of the Valleys that change in the four seasons, it is always dignified with its unchanging appearance. Nagano Prefecture is said to have a clear color of the four seasons. Takaibashi is a place where you can feel the four seasons at a fixed point. Valleys, budding in Spring, deep green in summer, Autumn leaves in autumn, and snowy scenery in winter. A red bridge that snuggles up to the four seasons of the Valleys. The scenery of Takai Bridge in winter is just cool!　It is the world view of ink painting. Powder snow in the middle of winter does not stick to the branches, and it is a view that can be seen during this Period when there is a lot of wet snow, such as snow from rain. Also, the day when the sun shines on the pure white Valleys, the snow sparkles, and the sky turns bright blue is also "beautiful". This is also one of the scenes of Takaibashi that I want to show. The scenery that can be seen when the conditions are right is also the charm of Nature. Cool scenery in a cool season I would love to see it.

【Costco Wholesale Southern Alps Warehouse Store (tentative name)】Minami-Alps City Construction is steadily progressing toward the opening of Costco next Spring. The other day, I found the "COSTCO" logo! It's becoming a reality. What! Mt. Fuji is above Costco... Fun the unique scenery of Minami-Alps City.

Photographed 12/21/24. This is GLIN COFFEE Honkawagoe Pepe store. Ono Buncha × GLINCOFFEE This is a premium hojicha latte with a sansho scent from the Kawagoe tea series. Aroma of sansho is very nice. It also contains white chocolate and honey, which is indulgent. The Honkawagoe Pepe store will close on December 28th. I'm sad because I was often taken care of when I walked around Kawagoe. 😭

Honoring the Samurai girl The more onago is bullshit, the more the world will be bullshit. The stronger you are, the calmer you will be.  The more you can hang your head and bow low, the more genuine nobility and strength you will acquire. #osakacastle #samuraigirl #harakiri #bushido #katana

Hello! This is the Shakotan Tourism Association. 2024 is just around the corner!

Why don't you enjoy Haliotis sashimi and hot pot with ≪tansui≫ a Local Sake made with Shakotan water? "Autumn and winter are good, come once, Shakotan".

Echizen Town is packed with the charm of Japan! Tourist spots in Echizen Town as seen by foreigners In July 2024, the number of foreign visitors to Japan reached a single-month record of 3,292,500. The number of foreigners visiting Japan rises each year. Japan offers seasonal nature, traditional crafts, and cuisine that many foreigners find appealing. Many more visitors are likely to come to experience Japanese culture in the future. With mountains and sea, Echizen Town is a treasure trove for tourists. It especially offers many attractions that interest foreign visitors. This time, we interviewed travelers from overseas about the places in Echizen Town they would like to visit. We spread out a map of Echizen Town and, while checking online, each person planned their own Echizen sightseeing route. They want to eat delicious food and enjoy nature First is an American backpacker. This is his second trip to Japan. He travels around Asia while working as an online English teacher. What he wants to do in Japan is eat great food and enjoy nature. Places he picked to enjoy nature include Kochomon (Kochomon Gate) Hindani Waterfall (Hindani no Taki) Ochi-yama Observation Deck He selected spots that caught his eye in photos. He likes hiking, so Mount Ochi would appeal to him. For meals, he wants something affordable but authentic Japanese. Umi no Sachi Shokudou Echizen Echizen is a great choice for reasonably priced seafood. Many visitors want sashimi and sushi when they come to Japan, and seasonal flavors are worth trying. He also loves hot springs. He paused at a beautiful photo with an ocean view. Echizen Onsen Open-Air Bath “Sea of Japan” On a backpacking budget now, he can’t splurge, but if he had more money he would try diving. A rental car is essential to tour Echizen Town; he also admires the idea of touring by motorcycle. All of these are experiences available in Echizen Town. It’s rare to find so many things to enjoy in one town. Checking places to go on Google Maps He finds travel spots using Google Maps. He opens Google Maps and chooses places from pins with photos. He uses actual reviews and price ranges to decide. He rarely opens tourist pamphlets. Echizen Town’s brochure is clear and photo-rich and useful, but he relies on Google Maps and reads reviews carefully. He didn’t expect it would be so convenient to use while traveling. He wants to enjoy varied landscapes A cyclist from France is traveling Japan by bike from Hokkaido to Kyushu, enjoying different natural scenes. He said the landscapes with mountains and fields remind him of France, and he likes that Japan has both mountains and sea. Echizen Pottery Village’s Enan Kiln He’s interested in traditional Japanese crafts, so the pottery village appealed to him. He prefers quiet countryside spots to crowded places. He wants to visit shrines and temples and enjoy hiking. He also said buying vegetables at a local farmers’ market is fun. Basically, he prefers places with few tourists Many foreigners prefer places with almost no tourists to busy cities like Tokyo or Kyoto. A French chef came to Japan wanting to join Takefu Knife Village. He came to Japan seeking nature and quiet places rather than crowded tourist spots. He said he is more interested in a worn, ordinary shrine that feels like real life than a picturesque shrine for photos. It makes him feel a living culture. He recommended spots like Kotohirayama-gu, which are uncrowded and worth seeing. He was intrigued by Yukyuu Roman no Mori (Eternal Romance Forest) The waterwheel there caught his eye, and he liked the thatched-roof lodging. Traditional crafts are famously popular when people think of Japan. He was keen to try pottery workshops. He also loves nature. He thought walking from town to the shoreline would be enjoyable—people seem to love walking. He most wanted to try Echizen crab. He hoped to return during the crab season to taste this luxury. They want to experience real Japan We also spoke with young travelers spending long periods in Japan. A girl from the Netherlands Nashikodaira Senmaida Daffodil Garden She was interested in the daffodil fields. She liked flower landscapes and wanted to see waterfalls and other rich natural scenery. She was very interested in pottery workshops and hot springs. A young man from Germany said he wanted to experience seasonal events. Echizen Town has many traditional festivals, so any season should offer something to enjoy. Both said they want to experience for themselves whether Japanese life, culture, and daily routines they’ve heard about are truly real. Nashikodaira Senmaida Daffodil Garden Location: Nashikodaira, Echizen Town, Nyu District, Fukui Prefecture Echizen Town is easy to recommend to foreigners Talking with five foreigners made clear that Echizen Town is a highly recommendable place.
