Zermatt in Winter – Where Time Stands Still

#hellohalloween Zermatt in Winter – Where Time Stands Still Nestled deep in the Swiss Alps, Zermatt is one of those rare destinations where winter feels eternal and magical. With the majestic Matterhorn towering above, the entire village transforms into a snow-covered fairytale once the first flakes fall. Wooden chalets sparkle under icicles, narrow cobbled streets glow with warm lantern light, and the crisp mountain air carries a sense of timeless peace. For adventure seekers, Zermatt offers some of the finest skiing and snowboarding slopes in the world, with breathtaking views at every turn. The Gornergrat railway takes visitors on a scenic ride to panoramic viewpoints, where snowy peaks stretch endlessly across the horizon. Even if you don’t ski, simply walking through the village feels enchanting. Horse-drawn carriages glide past, cozy cafés serve steaming hot chocolate, and boutique shops display Swiss crafts and winter fashion. What makes Zermatt truly unique is its car-free environment, preserving the charm of a traditional alpine town while offering a serene escape from modern noise. As snowflakes drift gently from the sky and church bells echo through the valley, time seems to pause. In Zermatt, winter isn’t just a season—it’s an experience of pure wonder.

#hellohalloween Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Okayama Prefecture lies one of Japan’s hidden historical gems — the Old Shizutani School (Shizutani Gakkō). Founded in 1670 by the feudal lord Ikeda Mitsumasa, it is celebrated as Japan’s first public school for common people, a revolutionary idea in an era when education was largely reserved for the elite. The site beautifully blends the philosophy of learning with the serenity of nature, creating an atmosphere that feels timeless. The school’s auditorium, designated as a National Treasure, stands as a masterpiece of Edo-period architecture. Its distinctive stone walls, wooden pillars, and traditional tiled roofs exude quiet dignity, while the surrounding landscape transforms each autumn into a breathtaking sea of red, gold, and amber leaves. From mid- to late November, Shizutani School becomes one of the most enchanting spots in Japan to admire the autumn foliage, especially under the warm glow of the setting sun. During the annual Light-up Event, held this year from November 1st (Saturday) to November 9th (Sunday), 2025, the entire school grounds are illuminated from sunset until 8:00 PM. The gentle lighting accentuates the textures of the centuries-old wood and the brilliant colors of the leaves, creating a dreamlike scene that feels like stepping into a painting. Visitors can also enjoy delicious local treats at the gourmet food stalls, available until November 24th (Monday, holiday) — a perfect way to experience both culture and cuisine in one evening. One of the most striking sights is the 100-year-old Chinese pistachio tree, standing proudly about 15 meters tall, its fiery red canopy glowing in the night air. Whether you visit for history, architecture, or the beauty of autumn, Shizutani School promises an unforgettable journey into Japan’s cultural soul. 🍁🏯✨

#hellohalloween 🍁 Momiji Tunnel – The Maple Road of Dreams in Japan 🍁 If Mount Fuji is the majestic symbol of Japan, then Momiji Tunnel is truly the “heaven of autumn leaves” that no fall lover should miss. Nestled in Fujikawaguchiko, this fairytale-like road captures the very soul of Japanese autumn. ✨ Highlights • A long pathway lined with over 60 maple trees, their crimson leaves arching over like a glowing canopy. • As autumn sunlight filters through the leaves, the tunnel radiates with a magical brilliance, as if you’ve stepped into a painting. • Interestingly, these maples were first planted to prevent flooding, but over time, they became one of the most breathtaking fall spots in Japan. 📍 Location: Oishi, Fujikawaguchiko-machi, Yamanashi (around 2 hours from Tokyo). 🍂 Best Season: From mid-October to late November, when shades of red, orange, and yellow blanket the skies and ground. This seasonal joy is known as Momijigari – “maple leaf hunting,” a cherished Japanese tradition. 🚉 How to Get There: • Take a train or bus to Kawaguchi Station (around 2,500 yen one way). • For flexibility, consider the Fuji-Hakone Pass (7,400 yen/3 days) covering both transportation and savings. • If you have an international driver’s license, renting a car via taxi 🚙 offers the freedom to explore at your own pace. ✨ Travel Tip: Visit in the morning or near sunset for the most enchanting light, when golden rays blend with fiery leaves – the perfect moment for “million-like” photos. With a thoughtful itinerary, you can enjoy not only the dazzling Momiji Tunnel but also admire the reflection of Mount Fuji on Lake Kawaguchi – a Japanese autumn dream come true. 🍂⛰️
