地球上のどこかの一人in the last week

2023年8月の感動が忘れられず、2026年5月末の水芭蕉の季節に合わせて2度目の訪問でした。 もともとは山と溪谷で尾瀬の存在を知り、木道の整備された道の写真がとても素敵で行ってみたいと思ったのがきっかけです。 母が元気なうちにということで2023年は山の日に合わせて高崎駅から交通機関を乗り継いで、 鳩待峠〜見晴での山小屋泊(尾瀬小屋)〜鳩待峠のルートでハイキングしました。 鳩待峠までの道のりが長かったですが、天気に恵まれ、母もなんとかついてきてくれて、おしゃべりしながら木道歩きを楽しみました。 山小屋泊も初めてでしたが想像以上に快適で、尾瀬小屋ではお風呂にも入ることができ、疲れ果てて夜の星空を見なかったことに後悔して、水芭蕉のシーズンの再訪を決意していました。 2026年は職場の方と一緒に、水芭蕉の季節に合わせて平日休暇をとり、金曜日朝の東武リバティ浅草〜会津田島、バスに乗り換え福島側の沼山峠からのルートで見晴を目指し、見晴キャンプ場でのテント泊の行程にしました。(同僚は燧小屋に山小屋泊) 平日のルートは人が少なく、水芭蕉もたくさん見ることができ、尾瀬沼も横切りながら、植物や景色を楽しんでいるうちにあっという間に見晴に到着しました。最後の?桜🌸も観ることができました。 3年前に憧れていたテント泊が実現できたこともとても嬉しく🤩🏕️重い荷物を背負った甲斐がありました🥹🩷 夜も日が沈むのをみて、山小屋で出会った方との会話もでき大満足でした。 翌日は見晴〜東電小屋〜竜宮〜鳩待峠で向かいましたが、反対側から多くの方が向かってきており、とても優越感がありました笑✨🙈 両側に燧ヶ岳と至仏山を望み広大な湿原を歩き続けられるのが最高でした☀️ 水芭芭蕉以外にもさまざまな高山植物を見ることができ、自然の雄大さをめいいっぱい持ち帰りました。 山ノ鼻のビジターセンターにはカフェやショップが増えて?いて、ボリューム満点のクレープとアイスコーヒーをいただきました☕日本酒のカップを再利用していてとても可愛かったです😊 鳩待峠には三年前からリニューアルした売店がありお土産屋を購入しました。 尾瀬戸倉までのバスチケットもすぐに購入でき運転手さんのガイドであっという間にバス停へ🤗 最期は尾瀬戸倉の日帰り入浴を利用させていただきさっぱりひて、新宿方面までバスで帰りました。 充実そのものの尾瀬旅となりました🥳 一緒に同行していただいた職場の方もとても喜んでくださり、また絶対に来たい場所です!

Apparently, this area was once a wetland that had been trampled and ruined... but the dedicated and earnest Japanese people have protected and supported Oze, making it this beautiful, and I commend the people who have been involved. Even now, I saw them replacing the boardwalks with new ones! I'm grateful for that 🙏 And what's more! 🐟 I was surprised that the char didn't run away even when they saw humans. Of course, that's because nobody was doing anything to them 🎣🙅‍♂️ It was past the season for skunk cabbage, but I was able to see some late-blooming skunk cabbage, and I also found some Indian pipe. I took an overnight bus, and it was foggy in the early morning, but when it cleared up, there was a vast expanse of nature, and a new breeze was blowing through Oze. I stayed at the mountain hut "Lucy" at Hoshino Resorts. It only opened last year, but I ended up going back again. The pork miso soup for dinner was also delicious. The weather was good at night, and I could see the Big Dipper overhead, making it a fantastic trip to Oze.

I went there on the night of the typhoon and there were so many fallen trees that I almost couldn't get back.
