Last summer, my family of four climbed Mt. Fuji for the first time. The road was more difficult and difficult than I had imagined, but the scenery above the clouds in the morning sun was a clear world that I could never see on the ground. The sky was infinitely wide, and all the colors were so vivid that they were simply beautiful. I hope that this beautiful nature will continue for children and their generations.

This water Shangri-La of Gunma prefecture is a hidden treasure that I found out t last spring. Minakami has all the things that give one peace. I don't know why this place is so underrated, at least among foreigners, since it's only an hour away from Tokyo by Shinkansen. I would want that everyone visits this place during spring, autumn, or snowy winter. Because this city is unique in every season

If you go further from Takaosan Yakuoin Okunoin, you will find Fuji Sengensha. This was done by Hojo Ujiyasu during the Sengoku period to solicit the Fuji Sengen Great Bodhisattva on Mt. Takao. During the national era, for those who could not go to Fuji from here due to the placement of enemy countries, Fuji Sengen Daibodhisattva was solicited to this Mt. Takao where they could see Mt. Fuji so that they could receive the same benefits without having to go to Mt. Fuji. I was glad that I was born in this peaceful era, that there were times when I could not live such a distance.

#Statues of children everywhere on Mt. Takao It was so divine that I took a picture every time I saw it. #Sanroku Doji It is a genus of King Fudo Myō, and each one is said to have 10 million retinue. It is said that when the name of the Sanroku Doji is chanted, evil spirits dissipate, protect those who worship them from behind, and bring longevity. It's hard to remember all the names, but I did learn Wonder Doji and Hara Harado Doji (laughs). I hope I can learn everything slowly. I want to learn what kind of people they are.

There are just over three hours left in 2022. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who have connected with me, and I hope that you will continue to have a friendship next year. I wish you a happy old year!!

[English/Japanese] Takaoyamaguchi Station, the entrance to the Takao Mountain climbing area, is lined with many restaurants. Tororo (grated yam) has long been eaten around Mt. Takao, and there are many restaurants where you can enjoy tororo cuisine. I ate grated yam on the way home from a recent excursion. Tororo has a soothing effect on a tired body.

In the Shiori Pass of Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, you can sometimes see the "cloud waterfall" of the sea of clouds cascading down like a waterfall. It is a phenomenon that occurs only when various conditions are met, and it is rumored among enthusiasts that "I want to see it at least once in a lifetime!" Please come to Uonuma to see the cloud waterfall! Photo taken on 2022/09/27

From the summit of Mt. Takao in Hachioji City, you can see "Diamond Fuji" as the sun sinks into the crater of Mt. Fuji, which has been registered as a World Heritage Site, on December 17 (Sat) ~ 25 (Sun), 2022 (around the winter solstice in December every year). It is a precious and mysterious sight that can only be seen for a few days in one year, even for a few minutes. You can see Diamond Fuji depending on the weather, so please check the weather forecast before visiting. Mt. Takao can be reached in one hour from central Tokyo, and there are cable cars and lifts to the mountainside, so you can easily visit it. It is very cold in winter now, so please wear warm clothes.

[English/Japanese] Tengu-yaki, a souvenir I bought on a field trip to Mt. Takao. It is shaped like a tengu, a demon said to live in Mt. I thought the filling was red bean paste, but it was made of crushed black beans, and the elegant sweetness was very delicious. Our school is located at Nishi-Hachioji Station, next to Takao Station. It took first place in the recently announced "Really Comfortable City to Live in Ranking". Nishi-Hachioji is located along the Chuo Line, which connects to Tokyo and Shinjuku, between Hachioji, which is convenient for shopping, and Takao, which is rich in nature. It is recommended for its many supermarkets and hospitals, and inexpensive rent 😊. The souvenir "tengu yaki" that I got when I went on an excursion to Mt. Takao.

[English/Japanese] Hachioji is famous for Mt. Takao. Takao can be seen from the school. The other day I went up Mt. Takao on a school excursion. The autumn leaves were still in full bloom and the view from the lift was very nice. You can also enjoy the scenery on the way to the top of the mountain, including discovering a rare cedar tree. It was a beautiful day, so we could see Mt. I recommend visiting on weekdays when there are fewer people. Speaking of Hachioji, Mt. Takao is famous. Mt. Takao can also be seen from the school.

A photo of nature taken in Shiratani Unsuikyo on Yakushima. The green of the moss, the greenery of the trees, the stream, the way the light enters, everything is beautiful

I took a star bath in the Mt. Tokachi.

This is a superb view from the Mt. Rokko observation tower in Kobe. After climbing a steep hill on a road bike, I was very happy because it was a light awn that suddenly appeared from the morning sun! !! I was able to see the heavenly world and the earthly world at once, and it was as if I was 😊 drawn into the world of myths such as the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki.

When I was walking home from the mountain, I happened to look up at the sky and saw that it was dyed such a good color that I stopped the car and clicked the shutter without thinking. In the mountains, I didn't see very good scenery, and while I was on the way home with the feeling that there would be days like this, I thought that there were such encounters. As a result, I think it was good just to see this scenery.

The sunrise of Lake Mashu is relatively major as a tourist destination in Hokkaido. The clouds and the surface of the lake were burned nicely. On this day, we climbed Mt. Mashu. We got off to a good start.

The sunset I saw at Mt. Shimoakaiwa in Otaru City, Hokkaido, after a light hike. The amount of clouds and the weather burned the sky as I imagined.

We stayed in a tent for two days and one night in the Tokachi mountain range. The scenery seen when I was walking along the ridgeline from Biei Fuji to Mt. Optatesike. A sea of clouds, rainbows, and vast land. It was a good time to walk in the mountains of Hokkaido.

This is a scene I encountered when I traveled in the spring of 2021. While driving near the border between Akita and Yamagata prefectures on National Route 13, there were good low clouds hanging over the mountain, and I was wondering if there was a mountain that I could climb nearby, but there was a mountain called Yakushiyama on the side of the road. I hurriedly climbed up and reached the top of the mountain in about 20 minutes and I was able to see this scene. The small island floating in the sea of clouds and the fresh green were the best match. I am grateful to nature for showing me.

Shingenna, at the knee of the great master Scenic green This is a morning photo of Kobe in the driveway again. In the immediate vicinity of here is Shubogahara, where Kobo Taishi (Kukai) is said to have trained.

A Japan where you can enjoy the four seasons. The autumn sunset is wonderful, but don't you think that the morning sun rises in the clear air and the autumn leaves are very nice? This is one of the photos taken while taking a dawn walk in the Shiga Highlands in Nagano Prefecture.

This summer. My first time in Oze. I was fascinated by the fantastic scenery after the rain and mixed in with the fairytale world.

Hakubayari Onsen Hut Open-air bath From Tsugaike, we stayed in tents at Mt. Norikura and Oike Sanso, climbed Mt. Hakuba, and stayed in tents at Yari Onsen Hut. It was cloudy during the climb, but when I was in the hot spring, it was sunny and the view was superb. It relieved my fatigue all at once. I think the unpredictable achievements are the charm of traveling.
