The Yamaguchi Tanabata Chochin Festival has been held for about 600 years.
Tens of thousands of red lanterns attached to bamboo sway gently, enveloping the streets in a fantastical light.
What’s surprising is that all these countless lanterns are lit by real candle flames!
Unlike electric lights, they flicker softly, gently illuminating the town.
Please come to Yamaguchi!

In the sweltering heat of the rainy season, I was drawn down into the valley by the sound of the clear stream and a cool breeze. Upon reaching the valley floor, I found myself in another world!
Before me lay a fantastical landscape!
At the information center at the valley entrance, I was informed that "Due to fallen trees and safety concerns, access to the upstream area leading to the Chockstone is currently prohibited." It was a bit disappointing, but there's always next time!!

In search of the fresh leaves of May, I visited the tea-producing area of Ono, the Fujigouchi Tea Garden.
If you listen closely, you can hear a singing voice from somewhere…
"As summer approaches, on the 88th night, young leaves flourish in the fields and mountains. Is that tea being harvested over there? Wearing a red and white checkered apron and a hat made of bulrushes."

Autumn in the Enchanted Forest
The bright red fall foliage of the bald cypress (rakushou) blazes on the surface of Lake Ejio.
The scene feels dreamlike, as if you’ve wandered into a mysterious land.
