A white slender beech welcomes you
The beech trees are lined with 50~80 year old beech trees.
Even with snow on the ground, they are still large beech trees.
Relaxing a little, lying face up, looking up, and touching the trees.
Arrival at the snowfield. As far as the eye can see, it is a world of white and silver.
When you pass through the satoyama forest lined with trees, a white desert-like landscape opens up before you.
In summer, large farms are operated here, but when the snow falls, the roads and fields are buried, leaving only the terrain.
