Shinshu Kankochi Suwa!!! In the Suwa, there is a gentle undulation from Kurumayama to Washigamine Kirigamine Highlands There are. 　Around the end of June, seasonal alpine plants such as Renge azalea, daylily sedge, and pine beetle dye the green meadow in a variety of colors. Mt. Fuji, the Alps, the Yatsugatake mountain range, and other famous peaks that Japan is proud of are also overlooked. 　In addition, the Kirigamine Highlands is also known as the birthplace of Japan gliders, as it is suitable for flying gliders with abundant updrafts in the area. In the Kirigamine, the three major marshes of the Kirigamine are formed by the Restrooms available Kurumayama, Shimagahara Marsh, and Ikenokurumi Landing Wetlands, and more than 400 kinds of subalpine plants can be observed throughout the year. 　It is also designated as a national natural monument and is a rare wetland in the world. In early summer, you can also see Renge azalea, and the bright orange flowers are beautiful! In summer, "daylily" (Daylily) blooms 🌼 as shown in the photo Most of the photos are sent by the staff of our Kirigamine Nature Conservation Center Mr./Ms. 　This year, it may bloom a little earlier than every year. And this year, thanks to the people involved in Kirigamine, there seems to be little damage from Deer, so it may be a normal year. Why don't you put the rich clear Highlands air full of Suwa's nature into your body and visit to refresh yourself? * The photo is taken last year in 2023.

Kankochi Suwa!!!　 Introducing the Takashima Castle Festival! May 26, 2024 (the fourth Sunday in May every year). The 55th Takashima Castle Festival was held in. This year, 19 groups presented on stage. Hip-hop dances, Japan dances, Drum, singer singing, Restrooms available and the Matsumoto Castle Gun Corps (arquebus) were Restrooms available.　 　The Gun Squad made a strong impression on me. Restrooms available even in Japan.　The arquebus is about 430 years old Restrooms available and I think that there are few people who have traditionally preserved the ones that can be used today Squid　The people who protect the arquebus and carry on the tradition are the people of the Matsumoto Castle Gun Corps.　That's why arquebuses can be seen at events such as Matsumoto Castle.　The gunners brought several types of arquebuses.　To the untrained eye, I saw two types of arquebuses.　The first is the bantsu (infantry gun), and the next is the medium tube (medium gun).　They fired blanks in several different formations.　It was a great impact sound!　Finally, a batter from Suwa shot the middle tube. It was a huge sound that seemed to cut through the space we were in.　It was really amazing, and I felt wonderful! Drum performances, children's Hip-Hop dances, and families came to watch.　In this festival, you can buy specialties from Stalls, sister cities, and friendship cities, and you can also do tree climbing!!　 We were blessed with good weather and many citizens came to the event. If you have the opportunity to come to the Takashima Castle Festival, please come and enjoy it!

Gyoikou is a plant of the genus Prunus in the Rosaceae family. Sakura is a cultivation variety native to Japan that was born based on the Oshima cherry tree. The name has been seen since the middle of the Edo period, and its origin is close to the yellow color of aristocratic clothing. Another name seems to be "misogi (exorcism)".　 　The yellow of the robe in this photo is the yellow of the "Akiba Shrine" in Shimizu Town, Suwa City.　This shrine has a number of large zelkova trees, and there are about three Shrine at the base, making it a very fantastic shrine that seems to appear in yellowtail work. 　If you enter the Akiba Shrine and go to the back on the left, you will find this robe yellow.　This cherry blossom blooms about two weeks later than Someiyoshino, and usually blooms 🌸 around Golden Week!　The time of year is about the same time as the Double Cherry Blossom (Yae zakura).　At the beginning of blooming, the inside of the petals is light green, and near the end of the flower, a light pink streak appears in the center!　The trees have lost their momentum since the past, but as it is written on the signboard, the average age of the trees seems to be about 20 years. If you look closely, you can see that the tree was planted on May 25, 1975, so it is 49 years old this year. It's amazing, isn't it!!　Also, don't you ♪ think that unlike the famous pink cherry blossoms, they are pale yellow-green and give off a wonderful color? After Someiyoshino, it is a pleasure every year to see the Double Cherry Blossom(Yae zakura) and this mii yellow.　 Answer! This cherry blossom was written in post English by me on Instagram on January 18 of this year, and the "light green colored cherry blossom" was the yellow of ♪ this Akiba Shrine's robe Please take a look at the post in English. Also, as far as I know, it is a facility in Suwa City, but there was also a green cherry blossom that seemed to be a yellow robe on the premises of the pruned tree recycling facility (former Suwa City Cleaning Center) in Suwa City. This is a facility in Suwa City, so please take a look when you go to recycle pruned trees in early spring. 　 From next year onwards, if you can't make it in time for Someiyoshino around April, please add it to your options to see Mii Huang. Especially in Suwa City and Town/Village six cities near Suwa, there are such unusual cherry blossoms here! If you have any Information, not just cherry blossoms, I would ♪ like to go as much as possible!! Suwa Tourist Association We look forward to following you → @suwa_nagano Instagram!

Heart-shaped iron flat stone 　At the east exit of Kamisuwa Station (Kirigamine side), there is Ark Suwa, and in front of it there is a sidewalk paved with Suwa City's specialty "Teppei stone", and there is a small heart-shaped Teppei stone. And there is also a four-leaf clover that combines four heart-shaped iron flat stones.　In Japan, a four-leaf clover is also a 🍀 sign of good luck Near it is a manhole with a Suwa Lake fireworks and Suwa no Ukijo Castle Takashima Castle depicted. Please look for that as well! 　Teppeiseki is a well-developed plate-like joint of pyroxene andesite, which is widely distributed in the Suwa and Saku regions of Nagano Prefecture.

Doll memorial service Nagano Prefecture Suwa City Hot Spring Temple (Rinzai sect Myoshinji sect) On March 17, 2014, I went to a Hot Spring Temple. It is about a 10-minute walk from Kamisuwa Station. This temple offers Traditional Japanese straw raincoat dolls and stuffed animals. It's like a funeral for Traditional Japanese straw raincoat dolls and stuffed animals. At the Hot Spring Temple, a memorial service for dolls is held every March. 　In Japan, there is a Boys' Day (May 5) and a Girls' Day (March 3). Most grandparents give dolls as gifts for their grandchildren to pray for the growth and health of their children. It is a traditional doll original to Japan. That's why many Japanese families have Japanese dolls. I think dolls also have a soul like animism. So, if your child has a doll, the child will play with the doll. Adult, I think we move away from dolls. Most Japanese people don't simply throw away the dolls that have watched their children grow up. Because the doll spent time with the child. Most Japanese people think that dolls have souls. That's why we make a memorial service for the dolls. 　On this day, more than 1,000 dolls were gathered. The priest recited sutras on dolls and stuffed animals for about 30 minutes. The priest gave thanks to the doll with cleansing salt. We prayed with the same feeling. 　 It was a very, very strange experience. I've never seen so many dolls and stuffed animals. However, it is a very hearty Buddhist offering for the doll. I feel that I was able to feel the Buddhist sentiment a little. That's why I love Japan!! 　Hot Spring Temple is also famous as a famous place for autumn leaves. If you want to see the beautiful autumn leaves, please come and see the autumn leaves at the Hot Spring Temple.
