WanoSato was covered with the first snow of this season 9th Dec.
Such a nice view, don't you think?
But, it's cold outside, so, you should wear something warm like snowy day ;)

今年、初めての雪化粧です。
道路の積雪はまだですが
皆様どうぞお気を付けてお越し下さいませ。

This photo likes a scene from Totoro.
Oh, don't you know Totoro?
There is a popular animation in Japan, it is called My Neighbor Totoro.

Summary animation is here:

Two young girls, Satsuki and her younger sister Mei, move into a house in the country with their father to be closer to their hospitalized mother.
Satsuki and Mei discover that the nearby forest is inhabited by magical creatures called Totoros (pronounced toe-toe-ro).
They soon befriend these Totoros, and have several magical adventures...

If you are interested in the rest of Totoro, please check My Neighbor Totoro!! ; )

Kimonos used to be worn on a daily basis.

It nowadays are worn only for special occasions or life events, such as weddings, graduation etc.
Kimonos has become obsolete as everyday clothes, but they're still very important for formal occasions.
Kimonos are quite expensive, but, modern designs and inexpensive lines are available to attract younger generations.
Casual kimonos, which are called Yukata, are a staple outfit to go to firework display events in summer. You can see a flock of young people wearing casual kimonos there.
If you stay in a Japanese style hotel called a ryokan, you can also experience wearing a casual kimono!

Let's experience wearing a Yukata in Wanosato!!

Autumn is in full swing.
How amezing it is...!!
Autumn leaves are at their peak right now, I think.
By the way, autumns are known to be good season to concentrate on hobbies in Japan.
We believe autumn is best season to read books, or enjoy sports, or even to have great appetite.
I always enjoy sports and foods in autumn.
If I eat lots of foods I certainly need exercise, too! lol

倭乃里の紅葉もすすんでまいりました！！

すぐそこまで冬が訪れていますね。

Our chef is skillful knife handling.
He handles his knife day after day.
So, he wants to take a Wagasa instead of his knife.
He looks very nice with Wagasa!
Don't you think so?

本日料理長は包丁ではなく、番傘を握っております！

お客様からのリクエストで中心にお邪魔致しました！！

Fall is arriving.
How do we know?
The leaves are changing!
In autumn, Japanese go out to the mountainous countryside to see autumn leaves.
For example, like Wanosato.

高山市内も少しずつ紅葉が始まりました。
写真はご夕食前の、緊張の（？）瞬間です！

Do you know umbrella like photo?
We call it Wagasa (Japanese umbrella).

‘Wagsa’ is the term for the handmade oiled paper umbrellas used in Japan since the 14th century. Originally imported from China, the idea of using paper, bamboo, and oil to create umbrellas was extensively refined by succeeding generations of master craftsmen, reaching its zenith during the Edo Period. Wagasa were common in Japan until the end of WWII, when imported western umbrellas made of synthetic materials replaced the traditional umbrellas. Where once there were hundreds of shops scattered throughout the archipelago, wagasa shops and the craftsmen that plied their trade within have dwindled to the point where there are but a handful left in the entire country.

Wagasa are very environmentally friendly, being made of all natural renewable resources, and possess an innate beauty that captures the elegance of a bygone era. Although wagasa are often considered an example of fine art, and can be found in museums and high-end shops, they are in fact durable items intended for daily use. With care an umbrella can last for twenty years; damage to the paper can often be repaired, lengthening the service life as well. Japanese umbrellas function very well as sun shades in addition to the usual rain duty they see, casting soothing light on the user while protecting him/her from UV rays. Wagasa craftsman Hidenori Sugizaki invites you to consider making a Japanese umbrella part of your life, sharing a daily tradition that stretches back seven centuries.
