Ōdaigahara-san or Ōdaigahara-yama, also Hinode-ga-take or Hide-ga-take is a mountain in the Daikō Mountain Range and on the border between the prefectures of Mie and Nara, Japan. The mountain is the highest in Mie.
Mount Ōdaigahara
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.
When I arrived in Takehara one evening, I was expecting a little village wedged between a calm, silky sea on one side and mountains verdant with bamboo on the other.
You can visit a very pleasant spot very near Mount Fuji to appreciate the fields of green tea. Best to go in spring, early in the morning.

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.

金色の海と聖なる空、

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。

Autumn hues cascade,
Whispering steam paints the air—
Nature`s warm embrace.

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

Clear waters mirror the sky,
Nature`s warm embrace.
