Due to the rain that started last night, only about 1m of snow remains in Naganomori Forest. The roots are starting to open up, and the trees are breathing and waiting for spring. We will soon be starting an unmanned firewood sales service. [Naganomori Activity Organization (Representative: Osamu Kato)]

We hosted the last school trip of the season. Four high school students from Taiwan. My grandchildren quickly got along with them, even though they didn't understand the language. We are grateful for this wonderful experience for our family. [Naganomori Activities Organization (Representative: Osamu Kato)]

I was particular about the tableware! This time, it's related to my other hobby, making soba noodles. I asked a stonemason in Fukagawa City to make me a stone slab (tableware), and I immediately tried using it for dinner. [Naganomori Activity Organization (Representative: Osamu Kato)]

I recently planted three Somei-Yoshino cherry trees. The tops of the trees I planted previously were eaten by deer, so I thought they were doomed, but new branches and leaves had appeared at the bottom, so I covered them with wire mesh. I wonder what will happen? [Naganomori Activity Organization (Representative: Osamu Kato)]
