Is this the remains of a ranch?
I greeted the sunrise at an abandoned farmhouse with a silo.

Most of the fields have been harvested
and soon snow will be piling up.

About one month until Christmas. 🎄✨

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.

The swan takes off
Because the swan has a large, heavy body
it runs and pushes off the water to gain speed
before taking flight.

This is an avenue of larch trees.

The larch needles turn orange
and when they fall, the first snowfall arrives,
and Hokkaido enters its long winter.

Recharge your body and soul with one of the world’s three greatest sunsets.

In Hokkaido’s Kushiro, enjoy canoeing and food-walking,
and indulge in luxurious, delightful gourmet experiences.

On nature walks, you may spot long-tailed tit and other wildlife.

After a day of full enjoyment,
treat yourself to a sky-given reward time at Kushiro Prince Hotel. 🌇

――――――――――――――――――――――

Recharge with Kushiro’s sunset —
one of the world’s three great sunsets.


After a day full of discoveries,
from canoeing and gourmet delights
to encounters with wildlife,

slow down, raise your glass,
and let the light do the rest. 🌇

Some birds use it as a stopover before flying further south in Japan, but many spend the winter in Hokkaido.

At sunrise and sunset, the river glows gold as they land on the water or take flight, creating a truly beautiful sight.
