Hello, this is En'emon Folklore Museum. July has arrived and the hot days continue, but Shosenkyo Gorge still feels a little cool.
While the sea’s chill is nice for summer vacation, it’s also a great season to soothe yourself in the mountains with a forest bath, listening to birdsong and relaxing among the green.
Yamanashi has no sea, but the museum holds stones as beautiful as the ocean.
Larimar is one of the three major healing stones, symbolizing love and peace, and it’s perfect for anyone seeking comfort and healing.
Also, Shosenkyo is famous for its quartz, which used to be called a fossil of ice because it feels cool to the touch.
It looks refreshing too, so come and touch it~♪
