Kiunkaku Kiunkaku is based on a famous residence built as a villa in 1919 (Taisho 8) and praised as "Atami's Three Great Villas". In 1947 (1947 (Showa 22)), it was reborn as a ryokan, and as a representative lodging of Atami, it has welcomed many guests for lodging nights, and has been loved by Japan's leading literary figures such as Yuzo Yamamoto, Naoya Shiga, Junichiro Tanizaki, Osamu Dazai, Seiichi Funahashi, and Taijun Takeda. It is currently open to the public as a cultural property of Atami City. A lush garden that doesn't look like an urban area.

"Bushido is found in death." Experience the life and death of a samurai in SAMURAI Calligraphy. Samurai calligraphy (calligraphy of resignation) is a calligraphy in which a samurai looks back on his life when he foresees his death and writes his last words on earth with a brush. In the Warring States Period, before the last great battle of the war, the battle of Osaka, SAMURAI foresaw his death, looked back on his life so far, and left one last character on the world's largest calligraphy paper. “武士道とは死ぬこととみつけたり” 侍の生と死のあり方をSAMURAI書道で体験します。 SAMURAI書道（辞世の書）とは、侍が死を予見したときにこれまでの人生を振り返り、この世での最後の文字として筆で書き残すもの。 戦国時代、最後の大戦である大坂の陣という戦を前に、SAMURAIは死を予見して、これまでの人生を振り返り、世界最大の書道紙に最後のひと文字を残しましょう。

Naraijuku, Nagano Prefecture in summer. It is said to be the longest post town in Japan, which runs about 1 km from north to south along the Nakasendo road. The scenery of the post town spread out as if it had traveled back in time to the Edo period. It is an old and beautiful Japanese cityscape that I would like to preserve for the future.

Osaka no Jin⚔Before participating in the war, there was an angel at Osaka Castle with a free hug sign hanging from his neck. The samurai refused the angel's hug, not wanting to taint it... and the angel made a sad face. The expression on his face is like watching a loved one die right in front of your eyes. The samurai wanted to protect this purity. However, he could not say anything lightly to the angel whose whole body was crying. The angel said as he wiped away his tears as if he had distilled only trust and goodwill towards others. "Thank you very much for today... but... Samurai-san and I... are not... friends yet." Angel was desperate. ``How can I become your friend?'' He handed me a homemade shuriken origami. His hands were shaking. The samurai had no words to answer, and was unable to look into the angel's eyes... A stifling voice came out of the man's mouth as he remained face down. The samurai was crying. Then, he gently hugged the angel. 大阪の陣⚔参戦前に大阪城で首からフリーハグの看板を下げている天使がいた。 天使が求めるハグを、侍は汚したくない思いで断った… すると天使は悲しい顔をした。 大切な人が目のまえで死んでいくのを見るような表情である。 侍はこの純真さを守ってやりたかった。 だが、全身で泣いている天使に軽々しい言葉はいえなかった。 人への信頼や善意だけを蒸留したよう天使は涙を拭きながらいった。 「今日は… どうも… ありがとう… でも、まだ… お侍さんと… 僕は… お友達じゃ…… ないんですよね」 天使は必死だった。 「お友達には… どうしたら… なれますか」とお手製の手裏剣の折り紙を手渡してくれた。 彼の手は震えていた。 侍には返す言葉がなく天使の目を見ることができずに… 伏せたまま男の口から、押し殺すような声が出ていた。 侍は泣いていた。 そして、天使をそっと抱きしめた。

Thatched village in Miyama, Kyoto It is a famous composition and a classic, but it is a place that can be said to be the gateway to Miyama I would like to see this wonderful scenery for many years to come, but when I come to the countryside, I always feel that it can be preserved forever, especially in areas with a large number of elderly people due to the declining birthrate, and I have been to the museum, but it is difficult to maintain it, and I feel that it is very difficult for the people who will inherit this history to pass it on to future generations.
