長野行ってきました。ホテルアンビエント蓼科、女神湖、蓼科湖、ツルヤ、諏訪大社。

＜ambient蓼科ホテル＞
標高１５５０mの女神湖畔にたたずむ高原リゾート。閑静（かんせい）で落ち着いた自然あふれる環境でゆっくりくつろげる。星図鑑をもとにした、ガイドとの星空観察が人気。

＜蓼科湖（たてしなこ）＞
カラマツや白樺の木々に囲まれ、景色のいい湖。蓼科山や八子ヶ峰を借景（しゃっけい）に、新緑だけでなく紅葉の季節も美しい。湖畔ではパターゴルフやレンタサイクルなどが楽しめる。カフェやレンタサイクルなどが楽しめる。カフェやそば処も点在している。

＜ツルヤ＞
軽井沢の別荘族に愛されてきた歴史あるご当地スーパー。

長野のご当地スーパーのツルヤと、諏訪大社ほんと良かったです。
僕らは、ツルヤの茅野店（ちのてん）に行ってきました。ほんと駐車場も広く、店内も明るく、買い物しやすかったです。

I went to Nagano. hotel ambient tateshina. tateshina lake.tsuruya. suwa taisha.

＜ambient Tateshina Hotel＞
A highland resort nestled on the shores of Lake Megami at an altitude of 1,550 metres. Relax and unwind in a tranquil, peaceful environment abundant with nature. Guided stargazing sessions based on star charts are popular.

＜Lake Tateshina＞
A picturesque lake surrounded by larch and birch trees. With Mount Tateshina and Mount Hachigamine forming a borrowed landscape, it is beautiful not only in the season of fresh greenery but also during autumn foliage. Activities such as putter golf and bicycle hire can be enjoyed on the lakeshore. Cafés and soba restaurants are also dotted around the area.

＜Tsuruya＞
A historic local supermarket beloved by Karuizawa’s holiday home owners.

＜諏訪大社下社春宮（すわたいしゃしもしゃはるみや）＞
ご祭神は、建御名方神（たけみなかたのかみ）、八坂刀売神（やさかとめのかみ）の２柱を祀る春宮。春宮、秋宮の呼称は、ご祭神が遷座（せんざ）する季節によって命名されたもの。旧中山道宿場町で賑わう秋宮に比べ、春宮は静かで落ち着いた雰囲気。毎年２月１日には遷座祭（せんざさい）が、８月１日にはお舟祭りが行われる。

＜諏訪大社下社秋宮（すわたいしゃしもしゃあきみや）＞
【『古事記』にも記されている歴史ある諏訪大社下社秋宮】
諏訪湖の南側に上社前宮と上社本宮、北側に下社春宮と下社秋宮の４社をもつ諏訪大社。多くの参拝者が訪れる下社秋宮は青銅製の狛犬や弊拝殿などみどこも豊富。重さ１Tにも及ぶ注連縄（しめなわ）が印象的な神楽殿は国の重要文化財にも指定されている。また、７年に１度行われる大祭・御柱祭（おんばしらまつり）は、大勢の人が集まる神事だ。

やっぱり、諏訪大社下社秋宮で、出会ったおばあちゃんがインパクト大でした。
両親がトイレから出てくるまで秋宮の前で待ってたら、見ず知らずのおばあちゃんと偶然目が合ったので、ペコリと会釈してこんにちわと言うと、笑顔で、返事してくれて。やっぱり幸福度の高い県の人は、心もやっぱり。

＜Suwa tai-sha Shimosha Harumiya＞
The Spring Shrine enshrines two deities: Takeminakata-no-Kami and Yasakatome-no-Kami. The names Spring Shrine and Autumn Shrine derive from the seasons in which the deities undergo their seasonal relocation. Compared to the bustling Autumn Shrine in the former Nakasendo post town, the Spring Shrine possesses a quiet and serene atmosphere. The Senza Festival is held annually on 1st February, and the Boat Festival on 1st August.

＜Suwatai-sha Shimosha Akimiya＞
【The historic Suwa Grand Shrine, Lower Shrine, Autumn Palace, also recorded in the Kojiki】
Suwa Grand Shrine comprises four shrines: the Upper Shrine’s Maemiya and Hongū on the southern side of Lake Suwa, and the Lower Shrine’s Harumiya and Akimiya on the northern side. The Lower Shrine’s Akimiya, visited by many worshippers, boasts numerous points of interest, including bronze guardian dogs and the Haiden Hall. The Kagura Hall, notable for its impressive shimenawa sacred rope weighing up to one tonne, is designated a National Important Cultural Property. Furthermore, the grand festival, the Onbashira Festival, held once every seven years, is a major religious event drawing large crowds.

Nagano’s local supermarket, Tsuruya, and Suwa Grand Shrine were truly excellent.
We visited Tsuruya’s Chino branch. The car park was really spacious, the store interior was bright, and it was very easy to shop there.

Also, the grandmother I met at Suwa Taisha Shimosha Akimiya really made an impression.
While waiting in front of Akimiya for my parents to come out of the loo, I happened to catch the eye of a complete stranger, an elderly lady. I gave her a little bow and said hello, and she smiled and replied. People from prefectures with high happiness levels really do have hearts that are.
