Each spots are separated and a few bus and train. I suggest to...

Tadami River Floods

Japan
Driving | 170 miles
On 29th and 30th July 2011, there was a heavy rain at Tadami Area. 24 hours rainfall on 30th July is 527mm, and it is No.1 record in Japan. One man was dead who put sandbag to prevent water and save houses. It was very regrettable, but it is miracle that the dead is only one in stead of this heavy rain. Three rail way bridges and many bridges for cars were broken. It needs a long time to repair. Even...

Urabandai - Winter
by FumihikoUeno on Dec 09, 2010
kitashiobara, Fukushima, Japan
Driving | 25 miles
[English below]朝5時に、早起きして裏磐梯へ出かけた。この日の日の出は6:48。5:00に外に出ると、あたりはまだ暗かった。途中、5:30に猪苗代を通過の際、GPSの電源を入れる。晴れて星が瞬いていたのが、パラパラと雪が振り出し、これから向かう裏磐梯はかなり雪深いと感じた。裏磐梯エリアに到着すると、まず向かったのが、曽原湖。ここは僕が数ある裏磐梯の湖の中でも一番好きな湖。小さな池ではあるが、人工で作った箱庭のように、美しいのが特徴。真中に島が点々とあり、その島には木が生えている。静寂に包まれた湖。途中いくつかの湖にも立ち寄りながら、裏磐梯最大の湖である桧原湖畔を車で走り、喜多方市に抜ける岐路につく。途中、分厚い雲から朝日が差し込んできた。真っ白いが暗い静寂の中、湖の真ん中に強い光が差し込む様子は、かなり幻想的でした。非日常の空間は、普段考えもしないことが頭に廻るもので、その幻想的な景色を眺めながら、UFOが襲来してくるのではと、少し本気で怖くなりました。[English]I got up early to go to Ura-Bandai.At 5:00 am, it  was still dark, because 6:48 sunrise on this day. It was little cold, but fine, so I could see the stars.At 5:30 am, I drive through Inawashiro area and turn on the GPS Device.  It was a little snow, So I think Ura-Bandai is more covered with snow.At 6:00 am, I arrived at Ura-Bandai area and soon, I go to...

Urabandai Colored Leaves -裏磐梯紅葉-
by FumihikoUeno on Nov 06, 2010
Nukazuka, Fukushima, Japan
Driving | 50 miles
裏磐梯が、紅葉シーズンを迎えましたので、見に行ってきました。会津若松を13:00に出発し、雄国山に車で登った後、裏磐梯に行き、15:00には猪苗代まで戻ってきました。2時間の駆け足コースです。裏磐梯への道は東京から来る方には一本しかないため、大変混雑します。特に、午前中の裏磐梯へ向かう方向、夕方の帰り道は混雑がひどいです。ですので、例えば、前日に会津若松に宿泊した方などは特に、喜多方経由で行くことをお勧めします。景色もいいですし。このコースは喜多方には立ち寄ってませんが、雄国山に立ち寄っているコースです。自然観光をする際に向いてますが、雄国山の道は大変細く、車のすれ違いは困難です。気をつけないと崖下にまっさかさまの危険な道です。今回は裏磐梯を駆け抜けてきてしまいましたが、裏磐梯は観光スポットがたくさんあります。一日中楽しめますので、遠くからわざわざお越しの方は、時間を十分取ることをお勧めます。

Matsushima is very famous place of beautiful sea and island. Because it was consecutive holidays, The traffic jam was forecast. So I used not the main street but the side road along the sea. Driving the side road, I found the path which can only walk, cannot drive by car. I walked down to the path and I reach one of the island of Matsushima. In general, we cannot land on Matsushima's...
