The beauty of the solitary, often snow-capped, stratovolcano, known around the world as Mount Fuji, rising above villages and tree-fringed sea and lakes has long been the object of pilgrimages and inspired artists and poets.
The inscribed property consists of 25 sites which reflect the essence of Fujisan’s sacred and artistic landscape. In the 12th century, Fujisan became the centre of training for ascetic Buddhism, which included Shinto elements. On the upper 1,500-metre tier of the 3,776m mountain, pilgrim routes and crater shrines have been inscribed alongside sites around the base of the mountain including Sengen-jinja shrines, Oshi lodging houses, and natural volcanic features such as lava tree moulds, lakes, springs and waterfalls, which are revered as sacred. |

県内ゴルフ場、ＨＰで海外へ 御殿場のベネットさん
県内のゴルフ場を紹介するサイト「ゴルフ・シズオカ」を運営するベネットさん＝御殿場市神山
御殿場市内でゴルフインストラクターを務めるカナダ出身のベネット・ジョン・ギャロウェイさん（44）が、県内のゴルフ場を紹介するインターネットホームページを開設した。英語のサイトは珍しく、海外からのアクセスも増えているという。ベネットさんは「静岡は富士山があり、ゴルフ施設のレベルも高い。空港の開港が予定される中、多くの外国人に観光資源を知ってもらう機会になれば」と話している。
 ベネットさんは地元カナダでゴルフやスノーボードに親しみ、ホテルリゾートのマネジャーに。１９９１年、岩手県安比高原のリゾートの交換社員研修生として来日。各地のゴルフリゾートで学んだ後、御殿場ゴルフ倶楽部（御殿場市）のティーチングプロとなり、現在は同市東山に暮らしている。
「日本にはゴルフコースが 2500 カ所以上ある。各国の関係者やビジネスマンも訪れるのに、英語の情報発信がほとんどなかった」とベネットさん。外国人旅行者向けアウトドア情報誌のサイト「ゴルフ・イン・ジャパン」を知人と手掛け、昨年には県内の９１カ所を網羅した「ゴルフ・シズオカ」をオープンした。

Summer heat has left us and the leaves have all but fallen. Most of you are
probably starting to think about retiring your clubs for the season and
focusing on winter sports like skiing and boarding. For some of us it's not
that easy to turn off the game, and the desire to tee it up lasts all year!
In this feature we will explore the options available for the year round
golfer as well as helpful tips for your winter game.
 I have
been a snowboard instructor and regular member of the Canadian Association of
Snowboard Instructors for over eighteen years. |
