Early morning at Kiyotsu Gorge in Tokamachi — this old stone fortification caught my eye instantly. The weathered architecture and that stacked-rock bastion really tell the story of this region's mountain past. September light was perfect for wandering through the gorge area!
十日町の清津峡を朝8時過ぎに訪ねたら、この重厚な石積みの建造物が目に飛び込んできた!歴史を感じさせる佇まいで、この地の懐の深さが伝わってくる。秋の朝日の中、渓谷の空気を吸い込んだ瞬間だった。
