HighWater crew blog, editor-in-chief Yamato will receive the baton from the first spelling of the treasure tree, and the second will be from Hikaru.
Last time, Yamato, who lives in the heavens, talked about the summit of the Takaradai tree, but in contrast, he talked about the bottom of the "Oana" village at the foot of the lower world.
"Oana" is an easy-to-understand big hall naming, but according to the folk tale that was written about this naming, I had the opportunity to investigate the work of outdoor guides and the history of the area.
A long time ago, about the old days of Japan
When a traveler who has crossed Mt. Tanigawa from the direction of Niigata looks down at Minakami
At the foot of the mountain, there is a partly opened village
It was like a big hole in the endless primeval forest ...
It's up to you to believe or not.
There seems to be a legend like this.
Now that the road is well maintained, it may not look like a "hole" when viewed from the mountain.
The last convenience store "Daily Yamazaki", which is famous for people who go to Minakami
It's around that area where you can see "Mingu Chaya", which has a suspicious style.
… And the guide's occupational illness made it a long time ago.
Why are you talking about such a big hole?
A place of relaxation for Minakami enthusiasts newly opened in such a place
"MINAKAMI BASE"
I wanted to talk about.

For now, MINAKAMI BASE has taken the form of a snowboard shop that it manages.
"Eh? It ’s a shop, right?"
I'd be happy if you could say that
The concept of BASE is the base as a "base".
It's the same for the locals
It also means a base for you who go to Minakami.
People who spend their time in Minakami, both daily and extraordinary
Stop by BASE and get involved while relaxing
Local information is shared directly and you can enjoy it while feeling Minakami more deeply.
Mountain people, river people, city people, long people, new people, men and women of all ages
The emotions and knowledge of various people interact and influence each other
Each attachment oozes in the land ...
I wish something like that happened
I gave this name to the friends I made together.
The bases will continue to change in the future.
Like an internet cafe to make you feel more at home?
Powder board test center?
Do you want a skate lamp?
It should be a base that grows naturally from the conversations of the shop owner and everyone who goes in and out.
Thank you for reading this far.
I wrote a lot of essays, but I didn't speak enough at all.
Now let's talk in BASE.
It's closed on Wednesdays now, and it's usually open only from 18:00 to 22:00.
I'm waiting for you to relax at night.
