Saturday 14 June
A lovely family who visits us every year returned once again this season!
It’s our third year together—and this time, their son has officially outgrown me😳

In the gently misted forest,
we were greeted by the translucent beauty of the sankayō (Diphylleia grayi),
the flower famous for turning transparent in the rain ✨

With magnifying glasses in hand 🔍,
we took a closer look and found ourselves ever more fascinated by nature’s wonders.

Friday 13 June
On this day, we hosted an educational tour in English with international students from Shinshu Uni.
Our theme: “How is the water cycle in nature created—and by whom?”

As we walked through the forest, we explored the key roles played by plants, animals, and the landscape in sustaining life through water.
It was a meaningful time that reminded us once again of the richness of Shiga Kogen’s natural environment.
