Let's lower the discomfort index

Hot day continues. In Japan 's summer, humidity is very high while disregarding the temperature, do not you? That's why if you are inside a room where air conditioning is effective all day, your body will feel languid and it can cause you to lose physical condition.
So take a bath. It is not a shower but a bath. There are many good hot springs in Yamanashi, so it is mountains that I'd like to recommend there, but today is my talk about bus time at home.
Of course it takes slowly to lukewarm water to take tiredness, but of course I want to incorporate it for refreshing.
"Herb Garden Travel Diary" has items that make bath time more fun and fulfilling. Scrub to make your skin slippery. The fragrance of fruit makes me feel better.





A selection of bath salts such as bath salts and bath essences are also available. I'm pretty annoyed with choosing. But, if you find a smell of your choice, you can not wait for the bus time.



And for the bath rise, this spray. If you blow, you will be healed by scent and coolness. I also love the fragrance of fresh mint, but if you put it in the bag it is also a great success on the road.
Let's eliminate it with unpleasant summer heat, scent.

Mr. Tanaka of our village

It looks like a lovely home that pops out of a picture book. This is the former Tanaka Bank Museum located in Katsunuma-cho. In Yamanashi Prefecture there are a lot of such high-color buildings as Shiro Fujimura encouraged Western-style building at the beginning of the Meiji era.
Built about 120 years ago from now, it was originally used as a postal telecommunications station. The one who made it is the director and eleven people Tanaka who was also the village chief. When I entered the Taisho era, his sons launched "Tanaka Bank" and I am surprised to say that I made banks here. Like a grocery store and a fish shop, you can make a bank.



There is a brick-made safe in the backyard. They kept cash in this, and they were doing business such as deposits and loans. Sometimes it seemed that villagers came to borrow money with cocoon bowl or grape as collateral, Mr. Tanaka was quite a wealthy man.









There was an exhibit that indoors the lives of old people as indoor museums.
And toilet is a must. I can not see beautiful pottery urinal.





This is the second floor residence that is said to have evacuated the officials of the Imperial family during the Second World War.



Attention also to the outside fence. Do you understand the secret character of Tanaka Tanaka Tanaka?
It is a small building that seems to pass over by car, but it is a spot full of highlights. Although visits are free, they are not open everyday, so please take care.

I am on a plate in the summer.

Speaking of Yamanashi's soul food, "Hotto". It is a cuisine prepared from Kozhu Miso soup and boiled thick noodles and plenty of vegetables. There are many things coming out in the iron pot at the shop and it is the image of winter food.
So, "Sarah" spread as "Summer Hito". Do not simmer in a pot, because it will be served on a dish "dish". That is accented and it becomes "biscuits".
Noodles are generally thinner and thinner than fly. Like somen something like eating in a saga, eating in a hot soup with plenty of vegetables in a fermented dish, etc. depending on the family.
At Shingenbae in front of Jirin-ji, you can eat bukkake-style dishes. Noodles are rich with taste. Even if I was a little bit tired of summer, I barely got it.



The taste of Yamanashi unique in summer. It is also recommended for souvenirs.

Peach hunting with wheelchair

The rainy season is approaching, Yamanashi finally peaches! peach! Peach season. Please watch, let the branches fresin and the fruitfully colored peach. It looks delicious.
Today I visited "Asama Garden" at Ichinomiya Town http://www.ykj.or.jp/asamaen/index.html.



All-you-can-eat all-you-can-eat for 40 minutes. After all the fruits are limited to fresh fruits. Please walk around the field and look for sweetness. For those who want to make a souvenir, they can share with the price you can not think of with market price. The early white peach line is mainstream at first. After that, it becomes a sweet white Peng line even if it is hard, and the harvest time of the peach varietal variety called cherry tree, which is a bird, is mid September. "Asama Garden" is one of the best in Yamanashi, an orchard that can enjoy long peach hunting.



Hairstown to your friends is by courier. The highest-ranking honors students proudly boasted by "Asama Garden" of self-proclaimed "farmer" were proudly lining up in the box.
"Asama Garden" has been barrier-free all the way into the field. So you can hunt peaches in wheelchairs. Normally you should take away your grandparents and grandmothers, and enjoy Yukinashi's happiness together.

People with and without brush

What is widely known for crafts in Yamanashi Prefecture is Koshu Shimoden and Kai Shi etc, but do you know the hidden masterpiece "Amehachi Suzuru" who you know? It is a traditional craftwork that is transmitted to the Hayakawa cho rainwater area from 300 years ago. In 1784, I was named for being given to Tokugawa family's 10th Shogun's household. It is that heiji was a person who was good at literary and written talent.
A pleasant texture on the surface that seems to grab ink is pleasing to many calligraphers, and it seems that there were as many as 90 craftsmen in the rain field area during the peak period. The picture is luxury goods with grape sculpture. Grapes are like Yamanashi.



There are also affordable items of palm size. The price starts from around 4000 yen. Since the bottom item is reflected in the first photo, please refer to the size.



The inscription of the author is engraved on the reverse side no matter how small it is. I feel proud of a craftsman in such a place. Unfortunately, there are only craftsmen in the rainfed field, and there are no successors. It may increase in value as an antique item.
Before Takeda Shrine, I found rainbow fields at "Kabutoja". They were lined quietly in the back of the store.

Let's wear Mt. Fuji!

If you were going to buy souvenirs for myself on your journey, what would you buy? Local confectionary, local sake, postcard. That's fine, but how about a T-shirt? If it can only be purchased at that place, it will be a memorial and more practical than anything else.
Today, I'd like to introduce the original T - shirts that I would like to obtain by all means when I visit Mt. Fuji.
"Miharashi" at Mt. Fuji's fifth consortium has many original goods that collaborated with the leading climbing equipment manufacturer "Mont Bell" in Japan. T - shirts are rich in designs and color variations. Kids sizes are also substantial, so it seems fun to wear a uniform in their families. "MONBELL" So quality is perfect. You can wear it for a long time.





There were also message T - shirts and T - shirts of Mt. Fuji sign. It is catchy and interesting.





And people to know "Maromon" T - shirt. I also found a matching undergrown sneaker system. Absolutely, it will be good for foreigners too.
Mt. Fuji T-shirt only sold by "Miharashi". You will surely find your favorite.

Oasis of a stopover

Although it is still before the rainy season, temperature above 34 degrees. It's hot. So, the story of a cool waterside to the eyes.
This is a Maruyama reservoir downstream of Shosenkyo, which is crowded with anglers at the weekend. Are you famous like Chiyoda Lake? It is widely known Mecca for harehnah fishing enthusiasts. Everyone dropping fishing line leisurely on a boat that set up a parasol, how are you today's achievements?



Chiyoda Lake about 4 kilometers around is also recommended for walking. If you walk along the shady road while feeling a cool breeze across the lake, flowers of the mountains and small birds singing will welcome you.



Chiyoda Lake is located on the way from the Kofu station to the Shinkansen bus stop on the way. Why do not you delay the bus and enjoy the moment of the water?

Sky and earth, its overwhelming charm

It makes me feel like being embraced in the sky. In such a wonderful place, you should release your mind without thinking anything at all.
Here is Yatsushiro Furusato Park. There is an old tumulus on a small hill surrounded by a peach bridge, and its surroundings are being maintained as a park.











When I walk by the trees, I hear birds singing as if somewhere that speakers are attached. Anyway the sky is wide, the sky is near. So it is crowded with many families on the night the meteor shower becomes a hot topic.
And it is famous as a cherry blossoming spot and as a night view spot. The Kofu basin spreads under the eyes, and a strange Taoyuan village appears in the peach blossom season. Moreover, it is also the unique charm of this place that it is possible to see a linear traveling test run.
It is often used for drama shooting, and recently it is gaining popularity in maniacs around "sacred place" surrounding the location.
How is it, did you want to go? The accumulated stress will blow away at once.

The seriousness of Yamanashi is really delicious

If I give something to my friends as a souvenir of Yamanashi, this jam without hesitation. It is an original product of "Shingenyakata" who tailored peach and giant peak in Yamanashi prefecture to a jam.
It has a name of jam, but the feeling that I ate was just like flesh bottling. Fresh fruit that even the texture remained tasty as it is. It is a touch of impression of being seriously making it. Eating it with yogurt or ice cream is the best.
A bottle of 750 yen and price are a bit stretched, but still a gem you want to recommend. I think that I am surely convinced if I eat it once.



Actually, the other day, I gave this peach jam to a friend living overseas. Then, I took this picture and posted it to SNS. I got pleased to hear that it was transmitted.
After visiting the Shrin temple, stop by "Shingenyakata" and get this jam.

This footbath is not just a thing

It is a pleasure to find a footbath at a tired journey. Foot baths have increased recently in stations, in the streets, and many other places, but the footbath of Mr. Herb Garden Travel Diary is somewhat special.



A hot spring dug just for this footbath. It is exactly source draw. Moreover, a lot of rose geranium is placed in the spout, and hot water flows through it and gathers in the bathtub. That is, herbal footbath.
Rose geranium is said to have the effect of softening the skin. The heel of the tick seems to work as well.
Footbath is located on the left back inside the park. After having enjoyed beautiful flowers, please be healed slowly with footbath.

It will definitely be a happy journey

The peach season has arrived! A peach of special products lined with grapes at the fruit kingdom Yamanashi. In spite of the cold and rain shortage in the early spring, we are steadily having a fruitful season.
I have been disturbing "Misaka Farm Grape House".



Foreign breeds were "Chiyohime" of early varieties.



After the striking experience, this is the system of all you can eat at the terrace seat. There is no time limit how much.



There is also a drink and shaved ice corner. It feels like a festival. This is a great pleasure for children as well.



And souvenirs and regional shipping peaches are here.
While many of the group's customers are there, you can go for it individually and you can use the handmade experience and the all you can eat without reservation. There was also a good plan that meal including barbecue etc was set.
A trip that tastes the unique happiness of peach season. There is no hand to miss.
