This year, I was exploring to see if there are any places in Sapporo City where the horizon is visible. Since there are quite a few buildings in Sapporo City, I had a hard time finding such places. However, it seems there are many wide roads. Next year, I would like to search around the Umibe area.

"A Carpet of Autumn Spreading Across Daisetsuzan" A scene of autumn encountered around Mt. Kurodake in the Daisetsuzan Volcanic Group, Hokkaido. At my feet, alpine plants dyed in red spread out, and beyond them, the majestic mountain range is woven with yellow, orange, and green high pines. White remnants of snow still cling to the mountainside, coexisting with the brief autumn and the hints of winter. It is like a vibrant carpet of colorful autumn leaves spread across the earth. This is the unforgettable autumn of Daisetsuzan that I encountered in my last year living in Hokkaido.

In a garden glowing with autumn colors, enjoy a cup of tea. On a night illuminated by the Mid-Autumn Moon. The pure Japanese garden, Korakuen, was lit up as if the moonlight had descended, allowing us to relish the night foliage instead of night cherry blossoms. Walking along the path of light from the garden entrance, we could see the illuminated autumn leaves and pavilions on both the right and left. Without the prepared lighting, the night Korakuen would be so dark that one couldn't distinguish between the soil and the roots of the trees. The sight of leaves, stones, moss, and lanterns floating in the darkness due to the various lights was truly wonderful. The redness of the autumn leaves was more vivid than during the day and burned into the back of my eyelids. On the night of the illumination, a tea ceremony was held at the tea room, Korakutei, within the garden. The tea utensils were adorned with autumn leaves, and the sweets and tea bowls also revealed the essence of autumn. While savoring the sweetness of the sweets and the warmth of the tea, we fully enjoyed the autumn tea ceremony. - This illumination project was held for the third time, following last autumn and this spring. Thanks to this event, we met many villagers visiting Korakuen for the first time, those who look forward to coming every time, and visitors from nearby towns, among others. May this wonderful garden continue to be a cherished place for many in the future. Korakuen will be closed for the winter, so in the remaining few days, I would be delighted if you could come and visit.

The traveling bookstore and candy shop In September, the traveling Yukimichi Bookstore was held at Kobanko📚 Books about horses and bears, books on succulents and fungi, and books on beautiful libraries around the world were all present. Each book piqued my curiosity. The succulent seedlings in the basket were adorable too🌿 On this day, there was also a booth from the candy shop "Egao-ya" in Monbetsu! Next to the children happily choosing sweets, I found snacks I used to enjoy and got really excited. Not only shopping but also satisfying small hunger and playing with Lego blocks... While everyone spent their time as they pleased, I flipped through the intriguing books. It was so cozy that I ended up spending more time than planned. The next traveling Yukimichi Bookstore will be on Saturday, October 24th, from 12 PM to 4 PM. Please look forward to it. #Nishiokoppe Village #Traveling #Bookstore #Candy shop #Kobanko
