Today, it's Sayuri. I usually talk about Japanese things, but today I want to talk while doing my hobby, which is hiking. During that time, I talked with Yusuke-san again. Then, at Yusuke-san's idea, he said, "Wouldn't it be good to film while taking selfies?" and now, although I'm very embarrassed, I'm walking while taking selfies. Yes, where I live, there are few people, and not many people are walking. The people I pass by are mostly grandfathers and grandmothers who are conscious of their health. That's why when I meet young people on paths like these, hiking paths, I feel a strong sense of kinship. Hiking is one of my hobbies (it's one of them). Well, I probably started around my early twenties. Before that, I wasn't interested in exercise at all. But one day, around that time, a "yamagirl" boom suddenly occurred in Japan. At that time, I thought the clothes worn in the mountains were cute, and I got into it from fashion at first. It's a common story, isn't it? But somehow, as I continued hiking like this, I came to really like it. When I try to talk to the camera like this, I get flustered about what to say. Anyway, I like walking. I teach Japanese at home, so I often don't get enough exercise. So, when I have time, I come to the nearby mountains and exercise. It doesn't cost money, and I think it's the best hobby. The place I'm walking now is called Yashima. Although it has "shima" (island) in its name, it's not an island. On top of this, there is a temple called Yashimaji. There is a temple in the mountains. People in the past must have had a hard time. Since there were no cars, they probably climbed mountains like this to pray. It seems wild boars appear in these mountains. Wild boars appear like this. If you encounter a wild boar, leave it alone without doing anything. Feeding is strictly prohibited. It means you should not feed them. Slowly retreat and quietly leave the place. Retreat means to step backward. Yes, never try to intimidate or drive them away. Intimidating means making a face like this and saying "Ughhh." Sorry for the crude explanation. Yes, it's autumn now, so the Jizo statues are also wearing red knit hats. The autumn leaves are almost over, but there are red and yellow leaves. Lots of fallen leaves like these are also scattered around. This path is quite well-maintained and very easy to walk on. I often go hiking with friends, but I also like walking alone like this. Did I say that? I don't remember. Haha. It seems to be 200m to the summit. What was it? There are apps for bicycles and hiking where you can see how much you've climbed. It's been 25 minutes, and I've climbed 1.3 km. If you say I'm tired, I'm tired, and if you say I have plenty of energy, I have plenty of energy. There are many signs like this in Japan. Steep uphill, be careful as it's slippery and proceed with caution. There are also brooms. I think these are probably volunteers who are cleaning up these fallen leaves. I'm truly grateful. I found something interesting. It's the Yashima Mountain Climbing Ranking. This is data from the end of November. The person who climbed the most, 22,476 times??? they have climbed. Interestingly, the names are the same as in sumo: Dai-yokozuna, Yokozuna, Ozeki, Sekiwake, etc. I'm almost at the temple. Climbing some steep stairs, the temple is almost visible. Wow, look, can you see it? It's a temple with a quaint atmosphere. I think this is the South Gate. It says Yashimaji right there, and I've arrived at Yashimaji. From here, there's a scary name, "Chinoike" (Blood Pond), that's intense. I don't know how to read it. I don't know how to read it, but there are places to see like that. There are many tanuki here. I'll show you. Tanuki paradise. Tanupara. Wow, the torii gate is short. Can you hear the sound of these birds? It's a bright red gate. This is the rumored pond. But it's not the color of blood. It's a bit dirty. There are many observation decks here, and this is one of them. Yes, it's sunny today and it feels good. The temperature is probably around 10 degrees Celsius. From here, you can see other mountains. Gokenzan, also called Yakurisan. Yes, this mountain. It's a bit eroded, and that's a quarry, a place where stones are taken. Today, it's not perfectly clear, but it's reasonably sunny, so you can see other islands too. If you look this way, it's the town. How was it? Do you like videos like this? If you like them, please let me know in the comments or by liking the button (high-rating button). Okay, that's all for today. Bye-bye. I just realized my bag is open, how embarrassing. See you!
