These icicles are artificially made for tourists by the people lived in this village. It is very cold in this valley. Water streams are constantly fallen on the side of the valley, so the icicles are grown. 50 thousands people will come to see the scence in this winter.
It was a very difficult task for me to take pano on the swinging suspension bridge.

シラケ山（1274ｍ）展望の良いハイキングコースとして隣の天狗岩が有名だが、こちらのシラケ山までは登る人が少ない。しかし展望の良さではシラケ山の方が上だと思う。

烏帽子岳（1182ｍ）天狗岩から岩稜縦走コースを歩いて来た。今年はアカヤシオの花が少ないと皆言っているとおり、ちらほらとしか見れなかった。
The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.
