【Star Photography Workshop Held on November 30】
We held a star photography workshop again this year to introduce the villagers to the beautiful night sky of Minamimaki Village, one of Japan’s three top stargazing spots.📋✏️
We photographed the stars at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory, a facility that is usually closed at night.📡📷 Thanks to photographer Teruyasu Kitayama’s instruction on shooting techniques and the generous loan of a high-performance camera from OM Digital Solutions Corporation, even an amateur like me could capture beautiful images.😚
The air has turned clear and it’s the perfect season for star photography, but Minamimaki Village’s cold is on another level.🥶 Please dress warmly when you come.🧣🧤

Larch leaves are at their peak golden color.
In Minamimaki Village, larches and other trees are reaching their peak autumn color. The slopes along the Chikuma River (Hirose to Kaijiri) are especially beautiful, and you can enjoy the view from your car while driving along Route 141. The area around JR Saku-Hirose Station, known as a remote, secluded station, is also nicely turned golden. However, the peak of the fall color is surprisingly brief, and the leaves look likely to drop all at once soon.

On a clear break in the rainy season, I wondered how the daylilies on Mt. Meshimori were doing and went to take a look🤔 — they were almost in full bloom✨🙌
From past years it looks like the next two weeks will be the peak viewing period😚 Today was lively with a school hiking group as well🦉

Nobeyama Highlands today
The big Golden Week holiday finally starts tomorrow🥳 As usual at this time of year, Nobeyama Highlands fills with many visitors from inside and outside the prefecture🚗✨
Within Minamimaki Village the timing varies by location, but the cherry blossoms have finally started to fall and the pure white yamanaashi (aonashi) flowers are now visible🌳 Meanwhile, farmers have laid mulch sheets over the highland vegetable fields, turning the landscape from earthy brown to white🚜💨
The first half of the holiday looks mostly cloudy, but the latter half is forecast to be sunny🌞 Come and see the snow-dusted Yatsugatake range🦉
