It was a big one of Magnitude 6.7 and occured around 5kms depth. We were shaken as well for a while. Some dishes, bottles were broken, a tiny bit of wall paper fell. That's all, we survive.
Lifelines work alright in this area. In some areas they seem to have some difficulties at the moment. Some roads are closed, you need to check it out when you need to do.
It was a quite big shake, I have never experienced that big one yet. But none was gone, no fire anywhere. It was miracle. We can shut down fire by fire extinguishers but we can't stop earthquakes. I thought this and that while I was shaken. Now I feel it happy to be alive when I wake up in the morning.
I would like to thank every message, phone call and e-mail to encourage us. Now I clean houses by throwing broken cups and stuff. Also check things are alright. Maybe I am now more nervous than needed against shakes when it happens. I hope it'll go better in short.
Earthquakes could happen everywhere in Japan. You never know when and where. Better prepare thing which protect you.

An old farmers house which was built in Edo era. Took the American high school students there when we accepted them as a host family last month after experiencing EX adventure. When we entered, the front area was renovated but still thick old pillars and structures were also there. You can order some drinks and cafe there.
Also you can have some dinner at night. <a href="http://shouya-maruhachi.jp/index2.html" target="_blank">Shoya Maruhachi English website</a>

Just cut some hydrangeas and gypsophils to put in a pot at the front. We like to have this kind of blue and white arrangement in summer to provide cool atmosphere.
Hydrangea is a shrub,gypsophil is a perennial plant. We thought they were easy to have but reality always goes different! They also need our attention, we need to cut their branches when they grow a lot, we need to get rid of weeds around their bottom. Much harder than expected. Maybe one year plants could be easier to have because we just need to put them into flower beds and pull them out when they die!
Neighbours' glasses always look greener :)

They are around 14 years old saying their parents are younger than I!. That gave me a slight shock :)
We got a chance to experience Hakuba EX adventure. I just escaped because I don't like to get higher than ground. But anyway it's awesome being young. They yell a lot while they go ahead. It seldom happens when one gets old like me! We old people often complain our hands hurt, our knees hurt etc.
It reminded me of my younger days when I was with them. Thanks staying with us, boys!

I got a couple of egg plant today. They are called "maru-nasu" (round shaped egg plants). Usual stuff here in Nagano prefecture. I am originally from Osaka where smaller round shaped egg plants that are called Kyo-nasu are available. Maru-nasu is a lot bigger than Kyo-nasu. Marunasu is a bit harder for your teeth than long shaped egg plants. One of regional food Oyaki has this flavor and personally I like to steam this round shaped egg plants to have some with mastard soy sause.
But guess probably not good for mahbonasu, too hard for it.

Everything seems to be harvested less than usual, our black beans in the tiny farm have not been ready yet. But chervils in some of our pots grow alright. As you see, they look sensitive and weak but actually they grow well you provide everything they like. They survive in the snow! Most herbs love strong sunshine but they are one of a few exceptions. They prefer cooler place where there's some shades like just a bottom of big trees. They prefer moist and fertilized sand. We put some leaf mould for it to keep them that way. If it's November, strong sunshine like in summer never kills them, so sometimes we put them in sunshine to grow. <br /> They smells good in your mouth, just slightly though. One of our favorite herb for cooking :-)<br /><br />Hayaokidori websitegamera63http://www.blogger.com/profile/00693285682115069644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678180888621634673.post-30383434286546667732013-08-26T15:50:00.002+09:002013-08-26T15:52:43.392+09:00PetuniaSummer flowers don't grow right maybe due to the heavy rainfalls.(><)<a href="http://hakubajapan.up.seesaa.net/image/P8261253.JPG" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="P8261253.JPG" src="http://hakubajapan.up.seesaa.net/image/P8261253-thumbnail2.JPG" width="150" height="84" align="left"></a>Flowers we always have don't grow alright, so tried petunia for the first time. They say it does not grow good if it gets rainfalls. We put the pots at the corner of our garden where there are no tree branches above so that it never gets raindrops from the tip of the branches. It seems ok at the moment We got them after the rainy season was over, so if we got them before the rainy season, it might have been different. Lately some new comers are also available e.g prietta but even the prietta has not grown good this summer.
By the way, we hardly have the typical rainfalls like silk in rainy season lately like we did before. It always goes like tropical rainfalls which starts all of sudden for a quarter to an hour. What's going on? Those tropical hard rainfalls often bring disasters....

When I use a vacuum cleaner for it, it always causes to repair structures, figures etc. Reparing them is very sensitive work, I need to do anything very carefully. Probably it is harder than making them for the first time. But can't complain, if I don't use a vacuum cleaner for it, probably much harder!

Actually snow removing is a tough job but if it's only tough tough tough and no fun, it's no fun. I always try to find something fun when I need to do something boring or hard :)

Found rice paddles look yellower than before. Didn't notice it at all as I had not paid enough attention to it. I guess perhaps when wind changes, it's a sign to inform us the season changes.

A Youtube clip by Hakuba sightseeing association.

We had fewer rainfalls in this previous rainy season and now we have usual rainfalls in this September. No worries at all any more for water supply, I guess farmers wanted more rainfalls in rainy season when their vegitables and stuff grow than in harvesting time.
They say a typhoon is hitting Okinawa region this coming weekends, I hope people there talk about where to escape to share the information just in case.

This is one of a hundred nice step rice paddles in Japan. It's Saturday today, so most families there are at work to transplant rice pots into paddles. This scenery makes my mind very calm. Looks as if it were an original farmers' place in Japan.

They have some former JNR trains and Seibu private railways train. Nice to share the hobby among family members. Hope to see them again.

Never thought I had to play with my snowblower at this time of the year to remove snow. It's always awesome to see a fine day after a bunch of snowfalls.<br /> In some southern regions in Japan, they say they have already seen some cherry blossoms while we still have some snowfalls. Many types of climates in this tiny country. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.hakubajapan.com/">Hayaokidori website</a>gamera63http://www.blogger.com/profile/00693285682115069644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678180888621634673.post-7576487433565110142012-02-08T09:32:00.002+09:002012-02-08T09:43:43.126+09:00About big snow around<a href="http://hakubajapan.up.seesaa.net/image/NEC_0203.JPG" target="_blank"><img src="http://hakubajapan.up.seesaa.net/image/NEC_0203-thumbnail2.JPG" width="150" height="112" border="0" align="left" alt="NEC_0203.JPG" /></a>They say people in snowy area have big snow every day this year but compared to the usual year, we don't have so much here in Hakuba. Just less than usual. People in Iiyama, Nozawa and Madarao area in Nagano and Niigata prefecture have a lot. I think our area and those areas are exclusively related. When they have big snow, we don't but when we have, they don't.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://hakubajapan.up.seesaa.net/image/NEC_0204.JPG" target="_blank"><img src="http://hakubajapan.up.seesaa.net/image/NEC_0204-thumbnail2.JPG" width="150" height="112" border="0" align="left" alt="NEC_0204.JPG" /></a><br /><br /> Roads to Hakuba are well maintained , so please just have equipments for snowy roads for your car and drive safe.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.hakubajapan.com/" target="_blank">Hayaokidori website</a>gamera63http://www.blogger.com/profile/00693285682115069644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678180888621634673.post-48349115116332143092011-12-22T20:59:00.001+09:002012-03-28T21:32:09.223+09:00More than 1 meter of snow!Hakuba Goryu & Hakuba 47 ski slopes have gained totally more than 100cms of snow up there.
