The unexplored area of 10 minutes on foot

It is a strange summer that has a lot of weather. Since it was sunny for the first time in a long time today, I went to Ibaraki Valley. Arakawa Dam upstream of Shosenkyo. Crossing the Arakawa Ohashi Bridge and proceeding a little deeper, there is an entrance to the Iezaki Valley on the right.



Suddenly we entered another street when we entered the walking path. It is cool enough to surprise. Take a negative ion along the body while walking along the flow backwards. On the way there are bridges that just passed the boards, rocks that depend on chains and rope, etc. It is a fun way to change. So it is impossible with sandals and high-heeled shoes. Because climbing shoes are good, please go with sneakers at least.





About 10 minutes to walk, I arrived at Otaki.



First of all it will be overwhelmed by its power. The height of the waterfall is over 30 meters. The amount of water flowing down along with the roar is abundant, and a splash of water like drizz falls from above the head. It seems that there are not places where waterfalls can be seen in such a close distance. Anyway it is a magnificent view.
Speaking of Shosenkyo, Senki Falls is famous, but by force it is definitely here.
It is recommended to visit the summer in search of coolness, but in the spring you can see brilliant fresh green in the eyes, autumn leaves in autumn and falls frozen with snow scenery in winter.

A skin-friendly jam?

This looks a little surprised. This is a hand cream with seeds of karin.
Karin seems to contain plenty of moisturizing ingredients such as citric acid and pectin, so it may be used for cosmetics etc, but I have never seen seeds in it. There is impact.
Because I became interested, I bought one and tried it.
Why hand cream in summer? It is dry when it is in the room where the cooler works. And because I wear short-sleeved or knee-length pants, elbow or knee rustling becomes conspicuous from winter.
When scooping with a fingertip, the jelly-like part is transparent and light brown. Is this paitin derived from seeds?
If you try paint on the elbow it sticky, it stretches smoothly and has a good feeling. The feeling of smoothness lasted for a while.



I found this hand cream at "Asama Garden" in Ichinomiya. It is said that handmade during the winter when farm work settles down. I liked it very much. The price is also reasonable, so why do not try it once. But you should never eat it.

One vote for Mt. Fuji Sweets!

The season for climbing Mt. Fuji is expensive, but the weather is unstable recently. Climbers, please take care.
Well, today is the story of Sweets that I can taste only at Mt. Fuji.
What do you think is the picture above? It is Madeleine Burger.



It is fragrant cream cheese that is caught in the moist Madeleine. If you feed sugar on a tired body, I would like to be crawling this much. I think whether to prepare for the backpack before aiming at the summit.



And here is rare cheesecake. It is thick enough to think that it is cream cheese as it is. But the mouthfeel is smooth. The sourness of lemon juice is also effective and sweetness is reasonably good. It has a delicate taste like the one made by the first-rate hotel patissier.



Both are sold at "Miharashi" at Mt. Fuji. Or, you can buy it only at "Miharashi". Do not think it 's a good souvenir.

Yamanashi 100%

I think that there are many people who think that wine is a souvenir when going to Yamanashi. It is the most wine-producing place in Japan. There are many wineries in the prefecture and there are many wines that I would like to recommend but today is an introduction of the wonderful wine from Yamanashi prefecture that you can buy for peach hunting and grape hunting.
As a sightseeing farm, there is a wine corner in the store of Misaka Farm Grape House famous in the prefecture.





This is because there is a small winery called "Fuefuki wine" next to you, because we have items there.
"Fuefuki wine" is a company that makes wine with grapes harvested in the vicinity by consignment from farmers. So the raw material is 100% locally produced.
The price is also affordable. It is a genuine Yamanashi wine that you can feel free to buy with Shingen Mochi.
