We aimed for a day when it snowed.

It started snowing at dawn, and the Water of the Water on the road began to increase, and I was able to take a reflection shot.

For me, journeys hold far greater significance than simply reaching a destination. Each adventure teaches me lessons that resonate deeply within me. Under the vast blue sky, nestled before majestic mountains and surrounded by vibrant fields of flowers, I discovered a vision of Earth that embodies true beauty. I wish the world could grasp this idea, transforming battlefields into meadows of blossoms, where weapons are replaced by cameras—capturing the stunning splendor of our planet instead of promoting conflict.

If the Water is good, Squid "eel" is delicious.
The secret of the deliciousness of Mishima's "eel" is Mishima's "water"

The eels are exposed to Mishima's spring water for several days without feeding to bring out their original taste.
