Wow!
There is a new multi #ski ⛷️ resort #seasonpass this year that was just announced today.
Unlimited #skiing at #ShigaKogen, #Ryuoo, #NozawaOnsen, #Madarao, #Tangram, and #Togakushi.
Price: JPY120,000 (about US$850)
This is a great deal and an excellent excuse to spend a month or two this winter in #YamanouchiTown in #NaganoPrefecture.

The view from the cafe/lounge at the hotel three minutes walk from my place.

My friend who makes tatami mats just now showed up at my condo in his kei truck and called me to “come out with a box.”
He filled my box with freshly picked peaches and cucumbers and told me to eat them quickly because they’re perfectly ripe right now.
He is also a farmer as a hobby.
The challenges of dieting in the countryside.

The past two days I ate at two great places.
Last night I had dinner at my friend’s place, #gonki in #shibuonsen, a short walk down the hill from my place.
The started serving á la carte a couple weeks ago so now it’s a perfect place to go for a light dinner and a glass or three of wine.

Yay!
A new three liter batch of #instantpot #yogurt just successfully completed the eight hour #fermentation stage and is now in the fridge for the cooling and thickening process.
Fresh yogurt is great all year round but especially great now with all the wonderful fruit grown by my friends here in #YamanouchiTown. Lately I’ve been having four peaches 🍑 a day, at least one of them sliced up into yogurt. Sometimes with blueberries😋

I was in charge of the “water yo-yo” game at the local matsuri last night with some of my friends. I think I erased a couple of my fingerprints on my left hand due to making so many of the balloons. The game was incredibly popular and we sold out of balloons before the end of the night.

I had a fabulous Sunday night staying at one of our most famous #Japanese inns here in #YamanouchiTown named #Yoroduya (or sometimes romanized as #Yorozuya ).
The #Momoyama #hotsprings bath there is registered as a national cultural tangible asset in #Japan and is absolutely stunning.

The #ShinetsuBishokuValley (#信越美食バレー ) or #ShinetsuGastronomicCouncil got officially launched on Wednesday morning and our lovely prefectural daily newspaper did a nice article about our first directors meeting in the Thursday edition (yesterday).
I got the organization’s bank account approved yesterday and we now have a domain name and an online sign up process being tested by the other directors.

Posted another video today on my #PeerTube account.
It’s from my walk today, overlooking the river flowing into the sunset.
This town is so gorgeous.
