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

Perched on a golden autumn branch, the little bird savors its meal in the soft afternoon light. The crisp leaves shimmer around it, turning the moment into a quiet celebration of the season.

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 😆

[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.

I went to see the autumn colors at Lake Minami Inagako in Kamiichinose, Minami-Alps City, Yamanashi Prefecture. This quiet lake, surrounded by trees, made for a relaxing walk.
