Hachimantai's Dragon Eye 2024.05.18 I was able to see the dragon eye that had been opened. It's like opening your eyes once and then closing them. The best time to see it is until the end of this month. It was unusually early this year.

I started helping farmers this year! For the first time, I learned that most of the famous lily root takes a lot of traditional manual work, and it takes five years to eat. And the young Indonesians I work with. Although we don't speak the language, we are important friends ^^ who work together to cherish historic specialties

Cherry blossoms on the approach to Makari Shrine. And farmers during the busy season? Cycling with my daughter every year! Pray to God for safety!

It is a wonderful approach to Makari Shrine near my house, ^^ Annual event to cycle here! Pray to God for my daughter's safety!

Hokkaido's oldest wisteria tree "Tenjin Wisteria" Famous wisteria flowers are endemic to Japan, but they do not actually grow wild in Okinawa and Hokkaido This wisteria tree was planted by the hands of our predecessors who settled in the Meiji era Since then, it has a long history, and it is still pleasing to people's eyes Wisteria tree about 200 years old The majesty of it is breathtaking

　Today, I went to the Kirigamine Opening Festival. The weather was nice and warm. The second spiritual peak, Mt. Fuji, also welcomed us with our faces. In the midst of all this, I was 💦 drenched in sweat just by going up to the fog bell tower 　It was 🏔 the first outdoor opening ceremony in three years Many people attended and we were able to hold a mountain opening ceremony. At the opening, a member of the Kirigamine Glider Association flew a 🛩 glider at 9:00 a.m. Immediately after the start, we went up to an altitude of about 1900m. It's 🛫 a glider, so it takes off very quietly If there is no weight limit, I would like to try it at least once!!　 　At the opening ceremony, the priest of Tenaga Shrine prayed for the safety of tourists, people passing through Kirigamine, and everyone related to Kirigamine. Please come to the Kirigamine Nagikama Shrine, which I introduced before, which is a Suwa hidden gem superb view point! 　When you come to Kirigamine or Suwa, please 🚙 drive safely = 3

ー SPRING IN AIBETSU TOWN 2024 ー This year, the cherry blossoms bloomed earlier than every year. In Aibetsu Town, I was able to see very beautiful cherry blossoms at "Fureai Street" and "Mt. Horai".

When I went to Takashima Castle around Golden Week, students from a local junior high school came to sketch Takashima Castle. 　When I went near the wisteria flowers, there was a very sweet and wonderful scent in the air.　Before I knew it, bees and black bees were 🐝 coming to take nectar ~ Even as a human, it was a wonderful scent that attracted me!!　I don't know why the demons of Demon Slayer don't like this wonderful flower www I think it's a wonderful flower.　A shot from under the wisteria ledge is recommended!!　I didn't know that wisteria flowers were blooming in the pond even though I was a local.　I'm sorry, Mr. Takashimajo.　When I looked at the whole wisteria flower on this day, I thought that it would bloom for seven minutes today to the untrained eye!　 　On the premises, there is a rare Gokoku Shrine ⛩ in Japan that resembles the construction of Suwa Grand Shrine. There seems to be a rare sculpture. 　Every year, I think it's about Golden Week, but it's very beautiful and you can see it.　The castle, the park, and the wisteria flowers are waiting 🌼 for you next year, so please come!

Visited 5/20/24. Lec Coffee's chai and carrot cake. ☕️ On the day of the event, it was raining and cool, but thanks to the chai, it became warm. I love anything that has cinnamon or ginger in it. 😊 Thank you for letting me relax every time.

The roses were 🌹 also in full bloom in Moroyama Town This is the Takinoiri Rose Garden in Moroyama Town, Saitama Prefecture. It seems that it was started about 10 years ago, and at that time the locals used to go there for fun. Many roses bloom in the park, making you 🤤 feel Spring

Finally, on April 1, 2024, the Suwa Lake Cycling Road was completed. The circumference of Suwa Lake is about 16 km. It is a lake that has been loved by locals for a long time. When I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, I remember the first time I rode a bicycle around Suwa Lake with a friend. I think the locals have an episode of their first circumnavigation of Suwa Lake. In addition, I think that it will be a newly maintenance cycling road that is easy to ride by bicycle and has a nice scenery. On holidays when the weather is nice, the excitement will increase! 　 "No, no, I'm going to have a bicycle from now on..." "What kind of bicycle should I use now?" If you are wondering "What is an electrically power assisted bicycle?", Why don't you take this opportunity to relax around Lake Suwa Lake with your family and friends on a rental cycle around Lake Suwa Lake?　* Regular holidays, business hours, etc. please check each website. ・Activity Base Cogue ・JBT Suwa visit rental cycle ・Suwa Lake Bicycle Rental ・SUWA Glass Village 　 Electrically power assisted bicycles can easily climb Slope!　You can also go to that Famous Tateishi Park and the Kirigamine Highlands, which Suwa is proud of, by bicycle!!　Taking the opportunity of the completion of this Suwa Lake Cycling Road, why don't you use your own bicycle to cycle around Suwa Lake or rent an electrically assisted bicycle and challenge yourself to go around Lake Suwa Lake and Kirigamine Highlands? If you get tired, there are parks, cafes, and foot baths, and ♪ I don't think you can find such a blessed environment in Japan.　There are cafes and parks along the cycling path, but there are not many foot baths! I think. Use the foot bath easily as long as you have a towel. It will blow away your ♨ tiredness And Swaichi! Did you know? If you go around Suwa Lake by bicycle, take a picture of the three spots of Suwa, Shimosuwa, and Okaya with your smartphone, go to the tourist information center of each city Kamisuwa Station, Shimosuwa Station, Okaya Station by yourself and show the photos of the three spots, you will receive a Swaichi certificate and a commemorative badge you cannot choose the color!　Please try it with your children and friends. A testament to the circumnavigation of Suwa Lake and a commemorative swaichi! Challenges are also recommended. ※ Photo courtesy of Activity Base Cogue The seventh photo is one of my favorite scenic Spot!! Look for it!

Nagikama Shrine ⛩ The other day, I went to visit the Yabukama Shrine in Kirigamine for the first time.　Last year, I heard Torii shrine gate ⇒ that there was a "Nagikama Shrine" that had been changed to a wooden stone monument, and I was originally thinking of going there because of the thaw, and I decided to go with the words of my wife, who loves Kirigamine.　As a lover of pillars, I have come to like visiting shrines and other places, and I have always wanted to go to the Yabukama Shrine, so I thought I finally had the opportunity to go to Kirigamine with my camera. 　I parked my car in the parking lot under the ski resort and headed towards the glider pavilion as I heard from an acquaintance, but I was not confident and was nervous, and there was a small sign in front of the glider pavilion that said ⇒ Yagikama Shrine 0.5 km, so I headed there.　I felt that it was surprisingly far away.　Together with his two children and his wife, he walked for a few minutes while touching the nature of Kirigamine.　I could see the stone monument of the Nagikama Shrine.　Since it is a shrine, the Torii shrine gate is more chic, but this is also a stone monument and it is quaint!! I thought. The approach road was also paved with wood chips, and it was very beautiful and maintained and easy to walk.　When I arrived at the Shrine, there was a breathtaking view...　For the first time in a long time, I couldn't suppress my excitement. The fact that the day I visit was sunny was also α to the superb view, and it was wonderful!!　The Suwa Basin spreads out below, Lake Suwa Lake stands very beautifully, the Central Alps are in front, the Northern Alps are on the right, the Southern Alps are on the left, Mt. Fuji is on the side, and Yatsugatake is behind the left. Isn't there a shrine in Japan where you can see the mountains like this? I think so!! 🏔 As a self-proclaimed hunter of Suwa City's spectacular scenery, this spectacular view immediately became a ranker!!　Tateishi Park also overlooks Suwa-no-Taira and has a very good view, but this one has an indescribable beauty because the Elevation Gari even higher.　I post that this is not only in my heart!! The shuin stamps is new, and if you are visiting the shrine of Suwa, please stop by when you come to Kirigamine!!　If it's sunny, I don't think you'll regret it! ・ God of worship Kenmikata Ōkami also known as Osuwa-sama : Takeminakata God of valor, fertility of five grains, etc.　 ・ Daisen Ōkami Ōyamatsumi : As the god of industry and shipping, as well as the god of sake dissolution, the ancestor of sake brewing ・ Ashinazuchi Tema Milk Ōkami Tenazuchi ⇐ Parents of Kushinada Hime Kushinada Hime : Susanoo's wife Here, the Dedication of the Nagi Sickle a sacred vessel shaped like a sickle found in the former Motomisayama Ruins is dedicated. The scythe is struck on the pillar after the main pillar has been determined. It is said that it is only hammered on the pillars of the Suwa Grand Shrine Upper Shrine, which is a strange thing. The shape is a sickle shaped like the head of a male chicken, which is also the "sacred weapon" of Suwa Grand Shrine.　The sickle is enshrined in the Shrine, so please take a look along with the superb view. Suwa Grand Shrine also has a nagikamamori ♪
