道南の紅景 (3)
朝は曇天で羊蹄山は見ることが出来なかった。しだいに天候は回復し、青空が広がった。紅葉と昭和新山のコラボレーションが撮れるだろうと期待しながら有珠山に向かった。期待とおりだった。昭和新山の山腹では、今年の猛暑の影響か二度咲きのツツジが見られた。旅の終わりにサケの遡上を見た。（10/28）
Autumn leaves of Southern Hokkaido (3)
It was cloudy in the morning. So they could not see Mt. Yotei. The weather was gradually restored. They went to Mt. Usu in expectation of taking photos of colored leaves and Mt. Showa-shinzan. They found azaleas, which might bloom for the second time this year, on the hillside of Mt. Showa-shinzan. They saw “the salmon migration upstream” at the end of this trip. (Oct.28)

夜の帳が下りる頃ホテルに着いた。洞爺湖に浮かぶパワースポットと言われる大島・弁天島・観音島・饅頭島の4つの島を眼前に望むことは出来たが、残念ながら羊蹄山は望めなかった。夜はホテルのベランダから花火を楽しんだ。早朝に羊蹄山と洞爺湖の写真が撮れることを願って床についた。

They arrived at the hotel around dark and saw four islands, which were famous as a power spot in Lake Touya. Unfortunately they could not find Mt. Yotei. At around 9:00 p.m., they enjoyed fireworks from the veranda of the room. He went to bed in hope of taking photos of both Mt. Yotei and Lake Touya the next early morning.

主人が子供のころ北海道の銘菓と言えばトラピストクッキーであった。今だに修道院の写真が写った缶入りパッケージは遠い記憶の中にある。「トラピスト修道院」は函館市近郊の北斗市に位置し、津軽海峡を見おろす小高い丘に建つ修道院である。今回は修道女が暮らす「天使の聖母トラピスチヌ修道院」を訪ねた。外壁の煉瓦と紅葉が印象的であった。（10/27）

In his childhood, Trappist cookie was the most famous one of Hokkaido. The picture of the monastery, which was printed on the tin can containing the cookies, remains in his mind as childhood memory. In this time, they visited Trappistine Monasteries and bought another kind of cookies. (Oct.27)

道南の紅景 (2-1)
朝は生憎の天気。雨の中津軽海峡が一望できるという立待岬に行き、その後元町を散策した。坂道がおおく石畳が敷かれ、洋館が多いことからどこか欧風の雰囲気が感じられる。坂道にアイヌ語が残っているのは北海道らしい。函館山には軍事施設があった。船魂神社参道には要塞標柱があり各面に津軽要塞第一地帯標、明治三十二年八月十日、陸軍省と刻印されている。奉行所跡にはペリーの銅像が建っていた。明治時代の函館には欧米の列強が頻繁に往来していたのだろうと主人は想像しながら散策した。公会堂はモダンな洋館造りであった。（10/27）

Unfortunately it rained in the morning. They went to Cape Tachimachi to overlook Tsugaru Channel in the rain, and then took a walk through Motomachi. There were many slopes, and roads were paved with stones. Moreover, my master found many European-style buildings. So he felt the European style in the town of Hakodate. He thought that it was typical of Hokkaido that the names of the slopes still had Ainu words. There was a fortress leveling pole on the approach to Funadama shrine. A bronze statue of Perry was erected in the garden of the magistrate's office trace. He imagined that European and American Powers frequently visited Hakodate during both the Edo and Meiji era.

Autumn leaves of Southern Hokkaido (1)
They enjoyed the autumn colors of Southern Hokkaido in 3 days and 2 nights on the weekend of October. The flight from Shinshu Matsumoto Airport was full, and most passengers wore masks. Also my masters used masks. In Tomakomai, they saw the colored leaves of “Prunus sargentii” and then they saw Mt. Showa-Shinzan from Usuzan SA in the distance. They enjoyed a night view of Hakodate from Mt. Hakodateyama at around 18:30. (Oct.26)

伊那谷を一望できるという陣馬形山に登った。東には南アルプスが、西には伊那谷と中央アルプスが望めた。山頂ではツツザキヤマジノギクという珍しいノギクを見ることが出来た。初夏にはヤマツツジが咲き誇るという。下山時ススキ野原を見た（10/21）
Mt.Jinbagatayama （1445m）
They climbed Mt.Jinbagatayama that is famous for the view of the entire Ina Valley from the top. They were able to see the Southern Alps to the east and to see Ina Valley and the Central Alps to the west from the summit. They also saw the rare wild chrysanthemum. A mountain hut staff said to them, “Rhododendron Kaempferi blooms in early summer”. When they descended the mountain, they saw the field of the Japanese pampas grass in the valley. (Oct.21)
