昨日に続き、福島県南会津にある｢大内宿｣にて。 まるでタイムスリップしたかのような感覚にもなる歴史的な場所でした。

こちらも福島県南会津にある｢大内宿｣にて。

江戸時代に会津若松市と日光今市を結ぶ重要な道の宿場町として栄えた「大内宿」 現在も江戸時代の面影をそのまま残し この景観を引き継ぐために店舗兼住居として実際に生活されているそうです。 写真は小高い丘から撮ったんですが 30軒以上の茅葺屋根の民家が立ち並ぶ光景は圧巻でした。

これは福島県の「あぶくま洞」の鍾乳洞で撮りました。 長い年月をかけて狭いところを掘り進んだ探検家の人たちによってみつけられ、長い年月をかけてこんな形になったとの事。 中を歩いているときはダンジョンの中を歩いているようで、ワクワクしながら進んでたのを覚えています。

【サンタさんに届け！】 福島県川俣町の道の駅にあるイルミネーションの風景です！！ 川俣町特産のアンスリウムが飾られたクリスマスツリーがライトアップされています！ ちびっ子が「うちにもサンタさん、来るかなー！」とお母さんと話していて、癒やされました！

Was shopping the other day in Nihonbashi and saw this akabeko and thought it was really cute so I decided to take a photo of it. The name was quite funny to me as well. Instead of the usual "akabeko" this was a "nemubeko," or "tired-beko" basically, and you can see how the eyes are actually half way shut instead of the normally wide-open eyes, giving it the tired look lol. I've always wanted to try an akabeko experience as I love traditional Japanese crafts and akabeko in particular seem really fun to make. I've read a few posts in another places of people trying akabeko workshops and having a really fun time. I haven't used papier mache since I was a kid either so it'd probably be a nostalgic experience for sure. If I do try an akabeko workshop, I think I'll make a "nemubeko" as well lol

ロープを伝うお猿。 どこへ向かうのでしょうか。我々も久しぶりに遠くへ旅に出たいです。

What an amazing tree! It makes sense that it's called the "Waterfall Cherry." I can totally see the resemblance in how the cherry blossoms hang down like that. Interesting that there's actually a "Three Great Cherry Blossoms Trees of Japan." I'd really love to go see this and Usuzumizakura in Gifu and Jindaizakura in Yamanashi. It's incredible to think that even after more than 1,000 years this cherry tree is still standing and is just like a fine wine in that it gets even better with age. There's so much beautiful natural scenery in Japan to see. I wonder what the sky is like here at night. I bet you can probably see a lot of stars from here

福島県会津若松市の鶴ヶ城です ふと見上げたときの風景を撮りました。

ストーブで暖をとっている実家の犬の後ろ姿をポラロイドカメラで撮影しました。寒がりなようで、冬は常にストーブの前か、炬燵の中にいます。都会ではあまり見ない、実家感のあるストーブが気に入っています。

Ahhhh! I've got to see Soma Nomaoi. It looks cooler and cooler the more I hear about it. Sending signals with a conch is super cool. It sounds like something that you'd hear about in a myth or folklore, but the fact that this was actually used is really interesting. A bit of a tangent, but it's awesome seeing all of the different helmet styles used in Japan. It's not exactly something unique to Japan, but Japan definitely has some of the coolest looking styles. This one kind of reminds me of traditional Japanese lacquerware and I like how it's very sleek and practical. Hopefully I'll be able to check this out this year. I want to visit Fukushima anyways so it'd be great if I could get it all to line up!

Awesome photo. I've heard of Soma-Nomaoi before. I really want to check it out actually and see all the horse races and stuff. I guess they do drills that were used by the military back in the day which would be really cool to watch as well. I'm a huge fan of horseback archery and archery in general so if they have that that'd be awesome as well. I didn't know there were portable shrines as well. I'd have to read up more on the festival but it definitely looks interesting. I have a friend over in Fukushima Prefecture so if I could get out there and meet them when this is happening it'd be awesome. Hopefully corona has settled down by July, but if not then I guess there's always next year. I'll have to eat some tasty festival food somewhere else I guess ?

God the snowscapes of Japan just get better and better. I keep hearing and reading about Ouchi-Juku all over the place and it's really got me itching to visit. I really love these old post stations and their historic feel. The buildings are really rustic and just looking at them makes me feel comfortable and relaxed. I really love the thatched roofs as well. I can imagine enjoying some delicious soup and tea next to an irori and just letting all life's troubles be whisked away. Top it if with some hot springs and I can't even imagine a better way to relax. Apparently there's the hot spring Yunokami onsen about 15 minutes from Ouchi-Juku but I guess there's also a footbath in Ouchi-Juku itself as well? Or maybe it's in the same area as Yonokami Onsen, I'm not 100% sure on that. Hopefully it's heated either way ?

福島県にある達沢不動滝です。 秋には紅葉と滝で撮れるスポットで有名ですが、冬の雪と滝も綺麗でした。
