YAKUSHIDANI RAVINE Only fiXeen minutes by car from the city centre you will find a place overflowing with mysQcal energy or how the Japanese people use to say a “power spot”. The air is filled with negaQvely charged ions which have a posiQve effect on your health. So if you feel stressed, Qred or just need some free natural energy, visit the Yakushidani waterfalls for an instant cure. In summer the pools of the ravine become a bathing spot and the clean and cool water feels like paradise on your skin. Yakushidani Kawachi, Uwajima-‐shi, Ehime-‐ken, 〒798-‐0075 Japan

UWAJIMA DEEPER
MEMORIES OF AKAMATSU This place used to be the weekend retreat for families during summer days. Children would enjoy swimming in the pleasant, clean waters of the Uwa sea. From the Nozoki-‐iwa the young and brave would dive into the sea and feel life pumping through their veins. Parents would eat, drink and chat while gazing in the blue summer sky. Famous actresses would visit the fancy restaurant with a rich fresh fish selecQon from the local sea. The “sea swing” offered a splendid view with a thrill factor. “Above your head the sky, below your feet the sea, freedom in your heart.” Now, only shadows of this past remain in the Akamatsu Amusement Park. The spooky, but sQll charming atmosphere of abandoned Japan is present and offers a place of inspiraQon for arQsts and creaQves. Only the majesQc Nozoki-‐iwa stands unmoved by all of these changes, as it stood here since centuries.
