A serene coastal town nestled on a hilly peninsula, overlooking calm waters with a small island in the distance, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun.
Tranquil coastal town at sunset, nestled on a hilly peninsula overlooking the calm sea.
Let's go discover this very special haikyo with a man who is equally special, or maybe not.
Located in the cool depths of a mine, in the heartlands of central Japan, the design of this neutrino detector is mind-boggling.
Frantically I put my foot down, driving along the incredible Route 106 (the last stretch of road to the north of Hokkaido) through a storm where the sky and the ocean are as one.
Quitting the autoroute that leads to the town of Chizu, I take a mountain road. It’s typical of this terrain where you often come across deer, foxes, monkeys, sometimes even bears, especially early morning just before...

Wooden serpents twist
Through emerald dreams, chasing
The coastal skyline.
木の蛇曲がる
エメラルドの夢
海岸の空へ。

Lanterns softly glow,
Steam whispers past ancient stones—
Night bath`s gentle warmth.
提灯優しく灯る、
蒸気が古い石を通り過ぎる—
夜の入浴は穏やかな暖かさ。

Crimson whispers sigh,
Fern-cloaked arches lull to sleep
Whispering past dreams.
紅いささやき
シダが眠りを誘う

Torii in sunset,
Golden sea and sacred sky,
Whispers of fire glow.

Windows hold secrets,
Blossoms weave purple and pink,
Masked in tradition.
窓は秘密を隠し、
紫とピンクの花が織りなす、
伝統を仮面に。

Whispering steam paints the air—

On hill`s green embrace, sky`s blue—
Nature`s spring canvas.

Nature`s warm embrace.
