margin: 0;"><p>There was nothing spectacular or artificial about the scene.</p><p>It was simply nature and everyday life.</p><p>I believe that these quiet moments are an important part of the charm of rural Japan.</p><h2>More Than 350 Years of History</h2><p>The Mikage Irrigation Canal has a long history.</p><p>It was developed around 1650 during the Edo period to provide water for agricultural land.</p><p>Today, the waterway extends through the Karuizawa, Miyota, Saku, and Komoro areas and continues to support agriculture in the region.</p><p>For more than 350 years, this water has been connected to the lives and livelihoods of local people.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/QdhcfxgQ/sukurinshotto-2026-10-06-212358.png" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>When you learn about this history, the canal becomes much more than just a beautiful stream of water.</p><p>It becomes part of the history and culture of the region.</p><h2>A Peaceful Place for Walking and Jogging</h2><p>The areas along the Mikage Irrigation Canal are also pleasant for walking and jogging.</p><p>You can walk beside the flowing water while enjoying the natural scenery around the foothills of Mount Asama.</p><p>It is especially nice for people who prefer quiet places rather than crowded tourist attractions.</p><p>You can simply walk, listen to the water, watch the birds, and enjoy the changing seasons.</p><p>This is one of the experiences I would like to share with people visiting Japan from overseas.</p><h2>Discovering the Real Japan</h2><p>Japan is famous for Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and many other major destinations.</p><p>Of course, these places are wonderful.</p><p>But there is another Japan that I would like to introduce.</p><p>It is the Japan of quiet roads, local waterways, small towns, forests, fields, local food, and ordinary everyday life.</p><p>The Mikage Irrigation Canal is a small example of this quieter side of Japan.</p><p>It connects Karuizawa with the surrounding communities and reminds us that local life and nature are closely connected.</p><h2>From Karuizawa to the Toshin Region</h2><p>Karuizawa is a wonderful starting point for exploring the Toshin region of Nagano.</p><p>From Karuizawa and Miyota, you can continue to Saku, Komoro, Tomi, Ueda, and other parts of eastern Nagano.</p><p>Each town has its own history, food, nature, and local character.</p><p>Through <strong>Toshin Shinshu Local Life</strong>, I want to introduce these places to people around the world.</p><p>I share local scenery, food, nature, rescue cats, everyday life, relocation information, and real estate in the region.</p><p>I hope these stories will help you discover a different side of Japan.</p><h2>Watch the Video</h2><p>I also recorded a video of the Mikage Irrigation Canal.</p><p>You can see the ducks swimming in the clear water and hear the peaceful sounds of the waterway.</p><p>If you visit Karuizawa or Miyota, I hope you will take some time to explore places like this.</p><p>Sometimes, the most memorable part of a trip is not a famous tourist attraction.</p><p>It may simply be a quiet walk beside a beautiful canal.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/P5yY9sKF/sukurinshotto-2026-10-06-212424.png" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>軽井沢と聞くと、美しい森、浅間山、別荘、そして多くの観光スポットを思い浮かべる方が多いと思います。</p><p>しかし、軽井沢周辺には、観光地とは少し違った、静かな信州の日常を感じられる場所がたくさんあります。</p><p>その一つが、<strong>御影用水</strong>です。</p><p>御影用水は、長野県の軽井沢町から御代田町、佐久市、小諸市方面へ流れる歴史ある農業用水です。</p><p>先日、御影用水を訪れてみると、きれいな水の中をカルガモたちが気持ちよさそうに泳いでいました。</p><p>とてもシンプルな風景ですが、私はこうした何気ない風景に、信州の魅力が詰まっていると感じます。</p><h2>とてもきれいな御影用水の水</h2><p>御影用水を見て、まず感じたのは水のきれいさです。</p><p>水路を流れる水は透明感があり、その中をカルガモたちがゆっくりと泳いでいます。</p><p>何羽かで一緒に泳いだり、少し離れて水面を進んだりする姿を見ていると、とても穏やかな気持ちになります。</p><p>水が流れる音。</p><p>鳥たちの声。</p><p>周囲の木々や自然。</p><p>そこには、観光地のような派手さはありません。</p><p>でも、自然と人々の日常がそのまま残っているような、心地よい風景があります。</p><p>私は、こうした何気ない時間こそ、地方の日本を訪れる魅力の一つだと思っています。</p><h2>350年以上の歴史を持つ御影用水</h2><p>御影用水には、長い歴史があります。</p><p>江戸時代の1650年ごろに開削され、農業用水として地域の農地に水を届ける役割を果たしてきました。</p><p>現在では、軽井沢町、御代田町、佐久市、小諸市方面へと流れ、地域の農業を支えています。</p><p>350年以上もの長い間、この水は地域の人々の暮らしや農業と深く関わってきました。</p><p>こうした歴史を知ると、普段何気なく見ている水路も、単なる水の流れではなく、この地域の歴史そのものの一部に見えてきます。</p><h2>散歩やジョギングにも気持ちの良い場所</h2><p>御影用水沿いには、散歩やジョギングを楽しめる場所もあります。</p><p>水の流れを横に感じながら歩き、浅間山麓の自然を楽しむことができます。</p><p>人が多く集まる有名な観光地とは違い、静かな時間を過ごしたい方には特におすすめです。</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/HkzXRDBm/sukurinshotto-2026-10-06-212435.png" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>ゆっくり歩きながら、水の音を聞く。</p><p>カルガモを眺める。</p><p>季節によって変わる木々の景色を見る。</p><p>そんな時間を楽しむことができます。</p><h2>海外の方にも知ってほしい「もう一つの日本」</h2><p>日本には、東京、京都、大阪など、世界的に有名な観光地がたくさんあります。</p><p>もちろん、それらの場所も素晴らしいです。</p><p>でも、私が海外の方に紹介したいのは、それだけではありません。</p><p>静かな道路。</p><p>小さな水路。</p><p>田園風景。</p><p>森や山。</p><p>地元の食べ物。</p><p>そして、そこに暮らす人々の日常。</p><p>御影用水は、そんな「もう一つの日本」を感じられる場所の一つだと思います。</p><h2>軽井沢から東信地域へ</h2><p>軽井沢は、信州東信地域を巡るスタート地点としても、とても魅力的な場所です。</p><p>軽井沢から御代田、佐久、小諸、東御、上田などへ足を延ばすと、それぞれ違った自然、歴史、食、文化、暮らしに出会うことができます。</p><p>私は「信州東信ローカルライフ」を通して、こうした地域を海外の方にも紹介していきたいと思っています。</p><p>自然やグルメだけではなく、地域の暮らし、保護猫、不動産、移住など、実際にこの地域で生活しているからこそ紹介できる情報も発信していきます。</p><h2>御影用水の動画をご覧ください</h2><p>今回、御影用水を流れる水と、そこで気持ちよさそうに泳ぐカルガモたちを動画と写真で撮影しました。</p><p>動画では、カルガモたちが泳ぐ姿だけではなく、水が流れる音や周囲の静かな雰囲気も感じていただけると思います。</p><div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="360" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false" disablekbcontrols="false" enableiframeapi="false" endtime="0" ivloadpolicy="0" loop="false" modestbranding="false" origin="" playlist="" rel="1" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/qx96hV1J-C0?rel=1" start="0"></iframe></div><p>軽井沢や御代田を訪れる機会があれば、ぜひ有名な観光スポットだけではなく、こうした静かな場所にも足を運んでみてください。</p><p>旅の中で一番心に残るのは、必ずしも有名な観光地とは限りません。</p><p>きれいな水が流れる小さな水路の横を、ゆっくり歩いた時間。</p><p>そこで出会ったカルガモたち。</p><p>そんな何気ない風景が、日本旅行の大切な思い出になるかもしれません。</p>]]></content:encoded>

Discovered by a Canadian missionary in the 1880s, it has long been the summer retreat of choice for Japan's elite. Today, this historic highland town is capturing the attention of international buyers for three key reasons.</p><p>First is "Asset Protection through Strict Regulations." Karuizawa enforces rigorous Nature Conservation Guidelines, strictly regulating minimum lot sizes, building coverage, and design. This prevents overdevelopment and preserves property values, making it a blue-chip asset that has seen consistent land price appreciation into 2025 and 2026.</p><p>Second is its appeal as a "Year-Round Destination." Unlike resorts that rely solely on winter ski tourism, Karuizawa offers summer cooling, winter skiing, and hot springs, making it vibrant across all four seasons.</p><p>Third is its "Livability." With the rise of remote work and excellent educational environments, foreign investors are increasingly choosing Karuizawa not just for holiday homes, but as permanent residences or for a dual-lifestyle.</p><p>Offering a perfect blend of pristine nature and solid investment fundamentals, Karuizawa is truly a world-class real estate destination.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/GtYMJmXR/Gemini-Generated-Image-eflr6eeflr6eeflr.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>東京から新幹線でわずか約1時間という抜群のアクセスを誇る軽井沢は、日本屈指の高級リゾート地です。1880年代にカナダ人宣教師に見出されて以来、日本のエリート層に愛されてきた歴史があります。近年、この由緒ある避暑地に海外のバイヤーからの注目が集まっています。その理由は大きく3つあります。</p><p>第一に、「厳格な規制による資産価値の保護」です。軽井沢町は自然保護のための厳しいガイドラインを設けており、最低敷地面積や建ぺい率などが細かく制限されています。これにより乱開発が防がれ、2025年から2026年にかけても地価の力強い上昇が続くなど、安定した優良資産（ブルーチップ）として高く評価されています。</p><p>第二に、「通年型リゾートとしての魅力」です。一部のスキーリゾートとは異なり、軽井沢は夏は避暑、冬はスキーや温泉と、年間を通して楽しむことができます。</p><p>第三に、「生活拠点としての機能」です。リモートワークの定着や、充実した教育環境・仕事環境を求めて、単なる別荘としてだけでなく、移住や二拠点生活の場として軽井沢を選ぶ外国人が増えています。</p><p>自然の豊かさと、資産としての堅牢さを兼ね備えた軽井沢は、まさに世界基準の不動産投資先と言えるでしょう。</p>]]></content:encoded>

While the Japanese tax system might seem complex at first, grasping the basics will give you confidence and peace of mind.</p><p>First, upon purchase, you are liable for a one-time "Real Estate Acquisition Tax" and a "Registration Tax" for transferring the title. These are calculated based on the property's officially assessed value. As a rule of thumb, it is wise to budget an additional 5-8% of the purchase price to cover these taxes and closing costs.</p><p>Additionally, while you own the property, you must pay annual "Property Tax" and "City Planning Tax." If you are a non-resident, Japanese law requires you to appoint a "Tax Representative" (someone residing in Japan) to handle these ongoing tax payments on your behalf.</p><p>Understanding these tax implications allows you to build a solid financial plan, ensuring a secure and smooth real estate transaction in Japan.</p><p></p><p>日本の不動産を購入する際、物件価格以外にかかる「税金」を事前に把握しておくことが投資成功の鍵です。日本の不動産税制は少し複雑に感じるかもしれませんが、基本を押さえれば安心して取引を進めることができます。</p><p>まず、購入時に一度だけ発生するのが「不動産取得税」と、登記手続きに必要な「登録免許税」です。これらは物件の評価額に基づいて計算されます。物件価格の約5〜8%を、これらの税金や諸経費としてあらかじめ予算に組み込んでおくとスムーズです。</p><p>また、物件を所有している間は毎年「固定資産税」と「都市計画税」が発生します。日本に居住していない外国人の場合、これらの納税手続きを代行する「納税管理人（日本国内の居住者）」を選任することが法的に求められます。</p><p>正確なタックス・インプリケーション（税務上の影響）を理解し、適切な資金計画を立てることで、日本での不動産運用をより安全で確実なものにしましょう。</p>]]></content:encoded>

Japan’s land is systematically managed, and strict regulations dictate what type of buildings can be constructed in specific areas.</p><p>A key feature is "Use Districts." For instance, in low-rise exclusive residential zones, commercial buildings and large factories are prohibited, legally protecting a quiet environment. Conversely, commercial zones allow retail shops and high-rise apartments.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/Kv8xnMw1/Gemini-Generated-Image-sngdq5sngdq5sngd-(2).jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>For foreign investors and home buyers, these regulations act as a reliable indicator of how the surrounding neighborhood will be preserved. Always check zoning rules before buying to ensure the location matches your lifestyle goals.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/bNwpQtWM/Gemini-Generated-Image-sngdq5sngdq5sngd-(1).jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>日本の不動産を購入する際、日本独自の都市計画やゾーニング（地域地区）を理解することは極めて重要です。日本全土が計画的に管理されており、どこにどんな建物が建てられるかが厳格に法律で定められています。</p><p>最大の特徴は「用途地域」の存在です。例えば、静かな住宅街（第一種低層住居専用地域）では商業ビルや大きな工場の建設が禁止されており、良好な住環境が法的に守られます。一方、商業地域では店舗や高層マンションの建築が可能です。</p><p>外国人投資家や移住者にとって、この規制は「将来にわたって周辺環境がどう維持されるか」を予測する強力な指標となります。希望するライフスタイルに合ったエリアか、購入前に必ず確認しましょう。</p>]]></content:encoded>

The restaurant is known for serving quality meat, including Shinshu Minemura beef, and for its comfortable private dining spaces. Reviews also mention the quality of the meat, thick-cut selections, and the relaxed atmosphere.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/bYgXpdM5/2026-08-21-18-52-14-861.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>The yakiniku bento I had today cost 2,160 yen. It may feel a little expensive for a bento, but after eating it, I felt that the quality made the price worthwhile.</p><p>The meat was satisfying and went very well with the rice. Eating yakiniku at home is also a little different from dining at a restaurant. You can enjoy the meal at your own pace in a relaxed atmosphere.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/1RBxs42S/2026-08-21-18-54-44-144.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>What I particularly liked was the feeling of satisfaction after finishing the bento. It was not simply a large meal. The quality of the meat made it feel like a special dinner.</p><p>If you are looking for good yakiniku in Saku City and want to enjoy something a little special, NAMSAN is certainly worth considering. I enjoyed the bento this time, but next time I would like to visit the restaurant and enjoy freshly grilled yakiniku there.</p><p>Living in Saku City, I appreciate having local restaurants where I can enjoy high-quality food. These small pleasures make everyday life in Nagano even more enjoyable.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/wx2Kg3ZB/IMG-20250514-220508940-HDR.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>本日の夜ご飯は、佐久市にある「南山亭」の焼肉弁当にしました。</p><p>南山亭といえば、佐久市で人気の焼肉店のひとつ。信州峯村牛など、信州の食材を使った焼肉を楽しめるお店として知られています。口コミでも、肉質の良さや厚切りのお肉、落ち着いた個室の雰囲気などを評価する声が見られます。</p><p>今回いただいた焼肉弁当は2,160円。お弁当として考えると、少しお高めに感じる価格かもしれません。でも、実際に食べてみると、その価格にも納得できるクオリティでした。</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/59gcbjGk/2026-08-21-18-54-37-883.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>お肉はしっかりと満足感があり、ご飯との相性も抜群。焼肉をお店で楽しむのとはまた違い、自宅でゆっくり味わえるのも焼肉弁当の魅力です。量だけでなく、食べ終わった後の「しっかり食べた」という充実感がありました。</p><p>佐久市で少し贅沢な焼肉を楽しみたいときには、南山亭は候補のひとつになると思います。今回は焼肉弁当でしたが、次回はお店でゆっくり焼肉を味わってみたいと思いました。</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/bYgXpdM3/2026-08-21-18-51-41-280.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>佐久市で暮らしていると、こうした地元のお店で美味しいものを楽しめることも、日々の小さな楽しみです。</p>]]></content:encoded>

Every cat has a different personality, and Bubu’s combination of being a big eater, a little mischievous, and very kind makes him special.</p><p>I hope Bubu continues to eat well, play happily, and be loved by all the cats around him. I am very grateful for all the happy moments he brings to our everyday life.</p><p>今回ご紹介するのは、我が家で暮らしている保護猫の「ブブ君」です。</p><p>ブブ君の一番の特徴は、とにかく食欲旺盛なこと。ご飯が大好きで、毎日たくさん食べます。食事の時間になると、どこからともなくやってきて、「ご飯はまだ？」と言っているような顔でこちらを見つめます。その姿を見ると、思わず笑顔になってしまいます。</p><p>ブブ君は、少しやんちゃなところもあります。家の中を走り回ったり、ほかの猫たちと遊んだり、ときにはいたずらをしたり。元気いっぱいで、いつも楽しそうに過ごしています。</p><p>でも、そんなブブ君は、とても優しい子です。</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/QdntDgV6/2026-08-21-18-11-07-649.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>ほかの猫たちとも仲が良く、猫の仲間たちからもとても愛されています。遊ぶときは元気いっぱいなのに、ほかの猫たちと一緒にいるときは穏やかで、自然とみんなの中に溶け込んでいます。</p><p>保護猫として我が家に来たブブ君ですが、今ではすっかり家族の一員です。猫たちそれぞれに個性があり、ブブ君の食いしん坊でやんちゃなところも、優しいところも、すべて彼の魅力だと思います。</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/W4hdqWx9/2026-08-21-18-11-36-084.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>たくさん食べて、たくさん遊んで、これからもみんなに愛されるブブ君でいてほしい。そんなブブ君との毎日を、これからも大切にしていきたいと思います。</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded>

Historically renowned as a summer escape, it has evolved into a year-round sanctuary for international investors and home buyers seeking privacy, nature, and high quality of life.</p><p>What makes Karuizawa real estate so appealing is its seamless connection between nature and urban accessibility. Nestled near Mount Asama, the area offers stunning luxury villas and contemporary mountain homes. Residents can enjoy golf and hiking in the summer, and skiing and hot springs in the winter—making it perfect for remote work or a secondary home.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/brk3KQqR/Gemini-Generated-Image-pt6nnspt6nnspt6n-(1).jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>Furthermore, Japan provides a welcoming legal framework for foreign buyers, with no restrictions on foreign property ownership, allowing full fee simple ownership of both land and buildings. Karuizawa’s strict local building codes also preserve the serene environment, helping to protect property values over the long term.</p><p>Explore the unique charm of Karuizawa and take your first step toward owning a piece of Japan’s most prestigious mountain retreat.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/150vBcC7/Gemini-Generated-Image-pt6nnspt6nnspt6n.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>東京から北陸新幹線でわずか約1時間。長野県に位置する「軽井沢」は、日本屈指の歴史ある高級リゾート地です。かつては夏の避暑地として知られていましたが、現在では年間を通じて魅力を放つグローバルな投資・移住拠点として、世界中から注目を集めています。</p><p>軽井沢不動産の最大の魅力は、豊かな自然環境と都市への抜群のアクセスの良さです。雄大な浅間山を望むロケーションに、ラグジュアリーな別荘やモダンな住宅が点在しています。夏は涼しい気候の中でゴルフやハイキングを楽しみ、冬はスキーや温泉を満喫できるため、デュアルライフ（二拠点生活）やリモートワークの拠点としても最適です。</p><p>また、日本の不動産は外国人の所有権に関する法的な制限がなく、土地と建物の「完全所有権」を取得できる点も投資家にとって大きなメリットです。軽井沢には自然環境を守るための厳しい建築基準や景観条例があるため、乱開発が防がれ、長期的な資産価値が保たれやすい特徴もあります。</p><p>四季折々の美しい風景と洗練されたコミュニティが広がる軽井沢で、憧れのライフスタイルと不動産投資の第一歩を踏み出してみませんか？</p>]]></content:encoded>

On my usual running route, I can already feel the first signs of autumn.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/hjyRY1ZL/2026-08-21-10-19-02-022.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>During the summer, the rice fields were covered in fresh green rice plants. Now, the rice is beginning to ripen and slowly turn golden. As I run along the fields and look at the beautiful scenery, I can feel that autumn is getting closer. It is a peaceful landscape that represents the natural beauty of Shinshu.</p><p>Another wonderful feature of Saku City is its abundant water. There are many small waterways running around the rice fields, and clear water quietly flows through them. This rich water supply supports local agriculture and has been an important part of life in Saku for many years.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/pTXtk6CL/2026-08-21-10-13-42-710.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>Running along the same route, looking at the rice fields, and listening to the sound of flowing water may seem like ordinary moments. However, these simple scenes are one of the things I truly enjoy about living in Saku City.</p><p>I am looking forward to seeing the rice fields become more golden as autumn arrives. For me, these everyday views are a beautiful reminder of the connection between nature, water, agriculture, and life in Saku City.</p><div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="360" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false" disablekbcontrols="false" enableiframeapi="false" endtime="0" ivloadpolicy="0" loop="false" modestbranding="false" origin="" playlist="" rel="1" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/E6wlPjgQaZs" start="0"></iframe></div><p>佐久市で暮らしていると、何気ない日常の中で季節の変化を感じる瞬間があります。私がいつも走っているランニングコースにも、少しずつ秋の気配が感じられるようになってきました。</p><p>夏の間は青々としていた田んぼも、稲が実り、少しずつ黄金色に変わり始めています。田んぼの風景を眺めながら走っていると、「今年も秋が近づいてきたな」と感じます。都会ではなかなか見ることのできない、信州らしい美しい風景です。</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/zBX1pc75/2026-08-21-10-24-08-429.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>そして、佐久市の魅力のひとつが「水の豊かさ」です。田んぼの周りには昔から続く水路があり、澄んだ水が静かに流れています。豊かな水は農業を支えるだけでなく、佐久市の自然や暮らしにも深く関わっています。</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/bJCf59V3/2026-08-21-10-23-41-048.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>いつもの道を走り、田んぼを眺め、水路の音に耳を傾ける。特別な観光地ではなくても、こうした何気ない風景の中に、佐久市で暮らす楽しさがあります。</p><p>これから稲穂がさらに色づき、秋の風景へと変わっていくのが楽しみです。</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded>

When I arrived, the parking lot was already packed with cars. Even with its large parking area, it can get extremely busy during the summer season.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/SRzhrnCV/2026-08-15-15-12-06-633.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>Still, Tsuruya Karuizawa Store is a place worth visiting. The store offers a wide variety of local Nagano products as well as many Tsuruya original items, making shopping here an enjoyable experience. Reviews also praise the store for its excellent selection and variety of original products.</p><p>But this time, I had one particular item in mind: <strong>Chateaubriand</strong>.</p><p>The Chateaubriand I was looking for is only available at Tsuruya Karuizawa Store, so I was really hoping to get it this time as well.</p><p>Unfortunately, when I reached the meat section, it was already sold out!</p><p>I was disappointed, but at the same time, I thought, “That’s Tsuruya Karuizawa Store for you.” It must be a very popular item if it sells out so quickly.</p><p>I didn't manage to get the Chateaubriand this time, but browsing the store is always enjoyable. Next time, I will try to arrive earlier and hopefully finally get my hands on it.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/SRzhrnCV/2026-08-15-15-12-06-633.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>夏の軽井沢は、やっぱりすごい人です。</p><p>今回も向かったのは、軽井沢で人気のスーパーマーケット「ツルヤ軽井沢店」。到着してみると、駐車場はたくさんの車でいっぱい。広い駐車場を見ても、この時期の軽井沢の賑わいを実感します。</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/D0bTgSLQ/2026-08-15-15-11-31-626.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>それでも、わざわざ足を運びたくなるのがツルヤ軽井沢店です。</p><p>長野県ならではの商品や、ツルヤオリジナルの商品など、ここでしか出会えないものがたくさんあります。口コミでも、品揃えの豊富さやオリジナル商品を楽しみに訪れる人が多いようです。</p><p>そして今回のお目当ては、もちろん<strong>シャトーブリアン</strong>。</p><p>このシャトーブリアンは、私にとってツルヤ軽井沢店に来たらぜひ買いたい一品。軽井沢店でしか購入できないので、今回も楽しみにしてやって来ました。</p><p>ところが、お肉売り場に行ってみると……なんと完売！</p><p>残念ではありますが、さすがツルヤ軽井沢店。人気の商品だけに、やはり簡単には手に入りません。</p><p>今回はシャトーブリアンには出会えませんでしたが、店内を見て回るだけでも楽しいツルヤ。次回はもう少し早い時間に訪れて、今度こそシャトーブリアンを手に入れたいと思います。</p>]]></content:encoded>

He would come to the office, eat his meal, and then leave again. We never knew exactly where he went after that.</p><p>Over time, however, things gradually changed. Hanashiro began coming to our home as well. Little by little, he became more comfortable around us and started coming inside. Eventually, we decided to take him in and give him a safe place to call home.</p><div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="360" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false" disablekbcontrols="false" enableiframeapi="false" endtime="0" ivloadpolicy="0" loop="false" modestbranding="false" origin="" playlist="" rel="1" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/tCqo5r-nZ6k" start="0"></iframe></div><p>Today, Hanashiro has a rather relaxed lifestyle. he goes back and forth between the house and the outdoors. Although he still enjoys spending time outside, he also knows that he has a place where he can come back and feel safe.</p><p>One of the things we love most about Hanashiro is how affectionate he is. Whenever we get close to him, he often starts purring. That gentle “purr, purr” is one of the sweetest things about him, and it never fails to make us smile.</p><p>In this photo, Hanashiro is lying comfortably on the pavement, looking completely relaxed. Seeing his stretch out so peacefully makes us wonder if he has finally learned that he has nothing to worry about here.</p><p>It is wonderful to think about how a cat who originally came to our office only for food gradually became part of our everyday lives. We never planned for this to happen, but sometimes a special bond develops naturally.</p><p>Hanashiro has found his way into our home and into our hearts. We hope he will continue to live a happy, healthy, and peaceful life, knowing that he always has a place to come home to.</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/J0zJgWPq/2026-08-18-17-32-52-292.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>以前、事務所にごはんを食べに来ていた一匹の猫がいました。名前は「ハナシロ」。鼻のあたりが白いことから、いつの間にかそう呼ぶようになった猫です。</p><p>最初は、事務所に来たときにごはんをあげるだけの関係でした。食事が終わると、またどこかへ帰っていく。そんな日々が続いていました。</p><p>ところが、ある頃からハナシロが我が家にも姿を見せるようになりました。少しずつ距離が近くなり、いつの間にか家の中にも入ってくるように。そして、この子を保護することになりました。</p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/zvGWM10y/2026-08-18-17-31-44-847.jpg" wrapperstyle="display: flex; margin: 0;"><p>現在のハナシロは、家の中と外を自由に行き来しながら暮らしています。外で過ごすこともありますが、家に帰ってくると安心したような表情を見せてくれます。</p><p>そして何よりかわいいのが、近くに行くと「ゴロゴロ」と喉を鳴らしてくれるところ。そばにいるだけで甘えてくれるような仕草に、毎回癒されています。</p><p>今回の写真は、気持ちよさそうに道路で横になっているハナシロ。無防備にゴロンと寝転がっている姿を見ると、すっかり安心しているのかなと思わず笑顔になります。</p><p>外で暮らしていた猫が、少しずつ人との距離を縮め、今では我が家にも居場所を見つけてくれたこと。その変化を見守れることが、とても嬉しく感じます。</p><p>これからもハナシロが元気に、のんびりと暮らしていけるように、家族の一員として見守っていきたいと思います。</p>]]></content:encoded>
