Hiroshima Miyoshi DMO

The season of the sea of fog has arrived ✨ When you think of Miyoshi City in Hiroshima Prefecture, you can’t help but think of the sea of fog. As autumn deepens and mornings and evenings grow colder, this is truly the perfect time to see it. The whole town becomes wrapped in white mist, and a quiet moment passes as if you were above the clouds. To enjoy the sea of fog, start with the classic Mt. Takatani. From the observation deck you can watch the fog drift slowly as the morning sun gradually breaks through. One of its charms is how different it can look from day to day. If you prefer a relaxed view in nature, head to Okadayama. From the top of the mountain the fog spreads to the distant peaks, creating a calm, sea-like panorama. At Mount Tomishi, the contrast between the sea of fog and the ridgeline is striking. Depending on the day’s weather and the light, it reveals an entirely different face. The sea of fog is a special sight that appears only on mornings when the weather conditions align. That’s why the joy of encountering it is all the greater. It takes about two to four hours for the sea of fog to clear. The scene of the fog lifting is lovely in its own way.♪ On a chilly morning, set your alarm a little earlier and come to Miyoshi. Why not see the breathtaking views the fog creates in Miyoshi? *Photos are from past visits* ◼︎ Mt. Takatani (Sea of Fog Observation Deck) *Images 1–2* Address: Awaya-chō, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture Parking: about 30 spaces ◼︎ Mount Tomishi *Images 3–4* Address: Yasuda, Kisa Town, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture Parking: about 100 spaces ◼︎ Okadayama *Images 5–6* Address: Uedamachi, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture Parking: about 5 spaces

Christmas Wreath Making Onesmanorgarden, which designs and builds gardens, invited garden planner Yuka Sato as an instructor to host a fun hands-on crafting session. What we made was a Christmas wreath using eucalyptus leaves and other foliage. In April we made wreaths from dried hydrangeas, but this time a row of fresh, live leaves was laid out. Surrounded by the scent of nioi-hiba, we first trimmed long branches into shorter lengths. From there we made the components to attach to the ring, glued them together, and tied them onto the ring with wire. We repeated that process over and over until the ring was covered. The steps are very simple. However… from start to finish you have to keep the volume consistent, bundle while considering the balance of leaves and berries, and skillfully fill in gaps so none remain. It really makes you think. Our fingertips turned dark from the leaf oils as we worked in silence, and after about three to four hours we finished a lush, full wreath! Adding gold or silver pine cones and wrapping ribbons changed each piece’s final impression during the finishing touches. Participants took their finished works home and seemed to hang them on walls and elsewhere in their homes. As time passes and they dry, their color and texture change. It was a project that let us enjoy qualities different from dried pieces. #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Wreath making #Christmas #Eucalyptus #Pine cone #Handicraft

A Few More Places to Enjoy Autumn Leaves 🍁 Today I drove toward the Kuraoka Area 🚘 The peak of the fall foliage seems to have passed, but the mountains around Gokase are now dyed in the deep, late-autumn colors. It’s truly the ‘‘last chance beauty’’ to behold 👀✨ In some spots vivid leaves still remain, and the ground is carpeted with fallen leaves, offering a scene full of atmosphere to enjoy 🍁✨ Why not bring a warm drink and come feel the quiet, beautiful end of autumn in Gokase? With temperatures dropping sharply this weekend, this may be the final viewing, so please come soon 😆

Introducing the autumn vistas of Shosenkyo Gorge and Kakuen Peak Yesterday at Kakuen Peak, the contrast between the blue sky and the rocky spires was stunning, showcasing a scene that truly represents autumn at Shosenkyo Gorge. In the lower right, the foliage at the base of Kakuen Peak blazed in vivid colors, wrapping the entire valley in seasonal hues. The Shosenkyo walking trails reveal changing views with every step, and now is the perfect time to visit. Take your time on site to feel the power of nature and the gentle tones of autumn. 📍Shosenkyo Gorge – Kakuen Peak 🍁Autumn leaves remain on display 🚶‍♀️The crisp weather is ideal for a stroll We sincerely look forward to welcoming you.

[Autumn Foliage Drive 🚘] Today I went for a drive to hunt for the remaining autumn leaves as they’re dwindling 🚗 First stop was Josenji Temple 🍁 The maple trees around the temple showed a range of colors, and every view was beautiful ✨ Mt. Nijo, being higher in elevation, didn’t have great foliage this year 😅 Still, the lookout gave a sweeping view of the mountains; the wind was cold but it felt refreshing 😊

Beginner-friendly! Hike Mt. Kuradake from the 9th station Mt. Kuradake sits in Kyokushi, Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture. Its appeal is that you can drive up to the 9th station and reach the summit in about a 30-minute walk, making it an easy outing. The mountain takes its name from the saddle-like shape you see from the foothills. There are several routes to suit different abilities, including the Forest Course, the Panorama Course, and the East Trailhead Course (9th station). Hikers from beginners to advanced enjoy this mountain. From the summit you get a 360-degree panorama. You can take in sweeping views of the Five Peaks of Aso, the Kuju Mountains in Oita, and Unzen in Nagasaki. Wildflowers bloom along the way, offering seasonal variety. Signposts and markers make the route relatively easy to follow. Relax at the summit with a packed lunch or a cup of coffee. It’s also a great spot to watch the first sunrise of the year on New Year’s Day. https://kikuchikanko.ne.jp/archives/featured/kuratake...
