For you, not for God

Foreigners came to Japan and I often hear that the most amazing thing is functional and clean toilets. Before the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020, foreign customers visiting Japan will also increase. I wonder whether the restrooms of sightseeing spots are being improved along with accommodation facilities such as private houses, transportation networks, communication facilities such as Wifi.
I was surprised that the rest room of 'Shingenbukku' in front of Jirin temple I visited for the first time in a long time has been beautifully renewed. Completely equipped with washroom and air towel for the interior decorated in a calming hue of cleanliness. The barrier-free private room was also designed with consideration.









On the way to the bus trip and driving by my car, toilet break is an important time to relax. It feels good to be a beautiful toilet.
Takaka is a toilet, but it is a toilet.
Football World Cup Picking up garbage of Japanese supporters at the Russian Games is admired from all over the world. Perhaps the Japanese may be a race that can be kept peacefully by keeping the surroundings clean. Is it also connected with the feelings of hospitality?
Apart from whether or not God is in the toilet, clean toilets are the basis of hospitality. It was a day I found my thought in the bathroom "Shingenbukan".

Rose princess

Rainy season sky continues today and around this time. While I see Hydrangea blooming beautifully in the streets, in Katsunuma's "Herb Garden Travel Diary", various flowers are in full bloom now and now.
Close-up of the corner of the royal rose at one corner of the rose garden today.



As the name suggests, it is a flowerbed that gathers roses with names related to the imperial family.





The name of roses seems to be freely named by breeders. Roses are elegant and elegant flowers. I feel I can understand that I want to borrow the name of the princess.
By the way, have you ever seen rose seeds? I do not sell easily.



There are seeds in rosehips that can be made after the flowers, that is, in the rose hips, it seems that it is a very difficult technique to grow roses from seeds. Moreover, even if seeds made in the same tree, if you see it bloom, flowers are in different forms. Roses raised from seeds have a chance to register a new species with a name. Roses are truly deep. I was watching Royal Rose while inflating the delusion what I should name.



Even if you do not grow yourself, if you come here you can see lots of varieties, so we reached the conclusion that we will leave the cultivation to everyone of the staff, and then we had a relaxing time surrounded by the roses.
Rain garden which will raise your mood just by stepping into the rainy season. Please do visit us.

Barbecue by hand

A sunny day in the rainy season when a refreshing wind blows. Under the blue sky, barbeque with family and friends is the best. But, barbeque is a lot hard to prepare. We do not have to reserve places, equipment, dishes and materials.
So, I would like to introduce "Misaka Farm Grape House" 's "BBQ by hand." Suddenly it is okay to say "I want to have barbecues for lunch" in the middle of the drive. For couples and families you can barbecue without reservation. Besides, I do not need any preparation. It's literally OK with hands.



Under the grape shelf, you can enjoy a full barbecue easily in a spacious terrace seat.
Price starts from 1200 yen per person (excluding tax).
Peach hunting also begins today on June 17. Peach hunting + barbecue is also nice.



And it seems that grape seedlings are popular for souvenirs. It would be great if Shine Muscat could be harvested at home. Why do not you challenge?

Let's taste each story

Are you wine tasting? I am not at all. Even if you do not have difficulty knowledge, such as production area, history, history, it is interesting to find your favorite taste. Every time I come here to say that wine is something to enjoy doing. If you are traveling in the grape kingdom Yamanashi, you can not exclude the wineries from the menu.
Today, I will introduce the tasting of Katsunuma's "Shirayuri brew".



All the winery tastings are free of charge. But, if it is free, you got to taste this too, did not you get lost in the contrary?
In "Shirayuri Brewery", stuff can tell stuff about raw materials, features, etc. for each stock. First of all, we tasted where we deepen our thought by listening to each wine story. You can taste a glass of plenty of glasses, depending on brands, you can taste it, so you can be sure that you like your favorite wine.
He recommends good things with full heart. I guess it is possible because I have confidence in the product.
Please take some time and visit "Shirayuri Brewery" by all means. Children and drivers also have 100% fruit juice.

The charm that it does not resemble anyone

I do not want to tell people much about my favorite places. I will introduce the best café today, which may make you feel like that.



"Cafe · Sidon" near Shosenkyo Gorge Bridge. It is a wonderful shop managed by a couple of artists.





Inside the store are old furnishings and art works such as paintings and glass crafts handled by the couple. There is no same thing as two, and only the work which handmade warmth is transmitted. Of course, it also sells.
It is onigirumi that the couple gathered in the mountain that is packed in a large bowl. It is a selling price. It is hard to break a hard shell with stones, but it has a rich taste.



Sydon is said to be the name of a city state on the eastern Mediterranean coast which prospered around the 13th century ago, is the current Lebanon. Due to the fact that glass craft was popular in big cities which had been the base of trade, it was made to the name of the shop.
As I mentioned a lot of works, I was touched by this building itself as art. When looking up, the beams cross over the ceiling which is in a colonnade, and a drawer is set up like a hidden door at the step of the floor. The second floor where sunlight falls from a big window looks like this.



Owner who says "Because I am living without internet and so on". It does not have much exposure on the net as it is. Coffee and tea brewed carefully one by one cups are a relaxing taste, and buckwheat flour crepe seems to have a good reputation.
A mysterious space where time stops only here as you enter one step. An open cafe like the cobbled stone pavement in Paris, an old private house cafe reusing old buildings, cafe is crowded recently, but it seems that there is no shop like this here surely. Please remember that such a wonderful cafe is in Shosenkyo.
