Infusion into the mind and body, the Botanical Essence of Autumn

Three consecutive holidays are a great time to enjoy autumn. Did you go out somewhere?
It is awesome to go mountain walking and enjoy the autumn leaves, but that is also a bit bullish, and for those who do not have much time, it is Mr. Katsunuma's "Herb Garden Travel Diary". In any case, it is a place that compactly condensed the autumn fall.
High-temperature greenhouse already opened in winter, but we are looking forward to the next time and looking around the garden today.







Throwing your eyes up, there are a lot of falls on your head. Whether the color of autumn is red or not, the contrast with the color of the clear blue sky is beautiful.







And there are lots of autumn that will become a picture as well. It is fun to put your own Autumn shot in the camera.
Even if you are not sneakers, for example wheel chairs, it's a great place to enjoy the autumn leaves. On December 1st, Illumination will also start as a topic every year, so it might be a good idea to take a walk after the sun has tilted. Admission is free. Please enjoy the autumn gift that plants give us.

Autumn sunset that rounds my mind

It is as home of a country grandmother. For a moment, I felt that way. However, I do not have relatives in the country. There was a nostalgic space anyhow, whether it was the original landscape of the Japanese mind or the illustration of the old tale read in childhood.
Just before the north exit of Shioyama station in Koshu city. An old private house that is over 150 years old as a licorice residence remains as a cultural asset.



Two step raised roof in the center part on the gable roof of gable-making. This is characteristic Koshu's architectural style. The house of the Takano family who raised medicinal herbal medicinal licorice and had been paid up to the shogunate.
At this time, the dead water of Koshu specialty line up under the eaves.





Persimmon 's color may be compared to "sunset color". It is a shade that seems like autumn. By the way, do you know the difference between the withered persimmon and the anpo persimmon? Wet persimmon flies about 70% of moisture, whereas the persimmon leaves about 50%. In short, the anpo persimmon is soft and soft.
The story had derailed, it was a well-known knowledge.





The licorice residence can also see inside. Go up the steep staircase and go upstairs, you can see old folk implements and agricultural equipment.
As I mentioned in this blog before, there is a doll figure exhibition at the licorice residence for the period from the 11th of February to the 18th of April. This is also very nice.



The licorice residence is 300 yen adult fee for adult fee, 200 yen for dwarf. Closed on Tuesdays. It is in a place with good access even by train. Please do not miss it.
