    Saitama Pref. Hannoushi Kuge
    Located along the Iruma River, this spot is about a 15-minute walk west of Hanno Station along Prefectural Route 70. The riverside has lots of green space where children can run free in the midst of nature. The river is shallow enough for even preschoolers to play in, and a wooden deck and a boardwalk along it makes it great for a stroll. Lots of visitors come to view the blossoms when the riverbed's cherry trees flower in spring. There's also a shopping area nearby where you can rent equipment to have a barbecue.

    以前の体験ですが・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ 国道２９９号沿いのスーパーマーケット敷地の隅にありました。小さな案内所ですが、商品には興味深いものもあり楽しめました。狭山茶コーラという商品があり試してみました。価格は275円とこの手の商品としては高い感じですが、物めずらしさに惹かれて飲んでみるとお茶の爽やかな香りに、甘さ控えめな味が楽しめました。この商品について、店員さんから詳しく説明を受け...

A ""senbikizaru"" chandelier-like decoration hangs in the temple's Kannondo hall, while water from the Chisuiba spring is said to improve breast milk flow. This is the 20th temple of the Chichibu 34 Kannon pilgrimage; together with the Saigoku 33 Kannon pilgrimage in the Kinki region and the Bando 33 Kannon pilgrimage in the Kanto region, these three pilgrimages make up the Japan 100 Kannon pilgrimage."

    岩之上堂は名前の通り崖の上にありますが、駐車場はさらに上にあります。 初見が屋根と秩父の山々というビューになるので、ちょっと不思議な感じ。 石段を下り、木々が茂る庭を抜け本堂へ。 木造の味のある本堂ですが、なかは吊るし雛で溢れています。 何かいわれがあるのかな。 本堂の前に大きな紅葉の木があったので秋におすすめ。

    "Ichibangai Kurazukuri-no-machinami historic street is located around 10 minutes' walk from Hon-Kawagoe Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line. With just over 30 Kurazukuri warehouse-style buildings lining the road, this area plays a very important role in the preservation of traditional architecture. The Kurazukuri buildings are one of the most important tourist attractions in Kawagoe (which came to be known as ""Little Edo"" because of its prosperity). The oldest of the Kurazukuri buildings is the Osawa House, which was constructed in 1792 and has been designated as a National Important Cultural Property. Visitors to this area can also view the ""Toki-no-kane"" (Time Bell Tower)-which has become a symbol of Kawagoe-from close to; more than a century after it was constructed, the bell-tower continues to tell the time through the ringing out of the bell four times a day. The branch of Saitama Resona Bank located halfway down the street is an old Western-style building that perfectly matches the historic ambience of the area."
