Last october, we had the chance of having Mr. Yokoyama Minehiro🏅, professional mountain athlete from The North Face accompany us on the tracks from Atsumi Onsen to the Dewa Sanzan through Mt.

But the many shrines, temples, and delicious ramen along the way made us forget how many liters of sweat were shed. Are you, too, a hiking lover? Think of Tsuruoka next time you're in Japan!

☃️ 雪は豊年の瑞 Yuki wa hōnen no shirushi🌾 🇬🇧 Snow foretells a bountiful year 🇫🇷 Neige qui abonde, année féconde 🌨️🌿 Mt. Haguro's majestic Ōtorī gate with Mt. Gassan in the background. In ancient Japanese spirituality, mountains were central to faith, a belief system known as sangaku shinkō 山岳信仰 (mountain worship). This reverence stemmed, in part, from the snow that blanketed the peaks during winter, melting in the spring to nourish the land below. The more snow that melted, the more water flowed into the fields, enriching the soil with minerals carried from the mountain's rocks. For this reason, to the people of ancient Japan, mountains were guardians of the harvest, ensuring bountiful crops through their life-giving waters.🏔️❄️🌾 #JapanWinter #WinterLandscapes #SnowInJapan #JapanNature #ScenicJapan #WinterWonderland #ExploreJapan #TravelJapan #BeautifulJapan #SnowyMountains #WinterPhotography #NatureLovers #JapanTravel #WinterMagic #JapaneseCountryside #WinterVibes #SereneJapan #WinterEscape #SnowyScenes #TohokuJapan #JapaneseCulture #ExploreJapan #TraditionalJapan #JapanVibes #TohokuAdventures #JapanTradition #JapanHistory #LocalJapan #SpiritualJapan #JapanOffTheBeatenPath
🔥 兵は猶火の如し Hei wa naohi no gotoshi⚔️ 🇬🇧 Wars are like wildfires 🇫🇷 La guerre est telle un feu sauvage 📚1 day, 1 Japanese proverb ✏️ At the summit of Mt. Haguro stands the Sekai Heiwa no To (World Peace Tower), a 20th-century monument dedicated to global peace. Atop the monument is a three-legged crow, symbolizing the one that guided Prince Hachiko to Mt. Haguro, it represents Prince Hachiko's mission to spread peace to all in his pursuit of the Lands of Dewa. Today's proverb reminds us that, like fire, war may seem like an immediate and effective solution to a problem, but it is difficult to control and often leads to self-destruction. Now more than ever, we hope for an immediate end to war and for peace to prevail across the entire world.🙏 The pictures in this post were taken during the Shoreisai: this major Yamabushi ceremony takes place every year on December 31st on Mt. Haguro. It starts in the afternoon and last until the next morning, featuring several yamabushi rituals all night long. #JapaneseCulture #JapanTravel #TraditionalJapan #JapanNature #ExploreJapan #HiddenJapan #MtHaguro #DewaSanzan #SacredMountains #ShintoBuddhism #MountainWorship #PilgrimageTrail #SpiritualJourney #YamagataPrefecture #HistoricJapan #JapaneseForests #NatureWorship #CulturalHeritage #AncientTraditions #FiveStoryPagoda #Gojunoto #SacredTrees
