Operations for this cable car started in 1956 as a way to promote tourism. Rides only take 3 minutes to reach the summit of the Jukkoku-Toge Pass and runs between 8:50 a.m. and 4:50 p.m. Although I arrived on the summit at around 1:00 a.m., signs at the observatory revealed that the cable car, rest house, and parking lot were temporarily closed for several weeks due to COVID-19 precautions. Once the pandemic comes to a close, visitors can bring their dog with them on the cable car (¥730 for adults; ¥370 for children; and ¥200 for a dog). Mamezakura cherry blossom trees used to grow naturally on the slopes leading to the summit. A local landscaping company planted an additional 80 mamezakura cherry blossom trees along the route of the cable car to celebrate their 90th anniversary in April 2019. In addition, if you visit in spring, you can enjoy azaleas in full bloom.
The Buonconsiglio Castle, splendid residence of the Prince Bishops and symbol of the city of Trento, is made up of different parts built in different ages: an older one, called Castelvecchio, includes Torre Aquila, with the frescoes of the Cycle of the Months, a masterpiece of Gothic art that takes us to the heart of courtly and peasant life at the end of the 14th century. Then there is a Renaissance part, the Magno Palazzo, commissioned by the Prince Bishop Bernardo Cles and richly frescoed, while another wing of the palace, the Giunta Albertiana, is from the Baroque age. During the First World War the trial against the irredentists Cesare Battisti, Fabio Filzi and Damiano Chiesa was held here.
Мощная цитадель с толстыми стенами, окнами-бойницами, оборонительными башнями, подъемным мостом – типичное строение XIII века в романском стиле. Внутри находились подземелья и камеры пыток. Через 200 лет была надстроена высокая Орлина башня (Torre dell’Aquila) – веяние готики; внутренние росписи башни – сцены времен года – ценнейший памятник готического искусства. В XVI в. к крепости был пристроен Парадный дворец (Magno Palazzo): фронтоны, галереи с колоннадами, росписи на темы античных сюжетов – это уже Ренессанс. Новая пристройка к замку – La Giunta Albertiana с элементами барокко была сделана в XVII.

Over three hundred years of great collections underpin the history of Villa Carlotta, where art walks side by side with nature in a breath-taking landscape scenario. Overlooking the shores of Lake Como, the villa was built in the late-seventeenth century by Marquis Giorgio Clerici of Milan. In 1801 Villa Carlotta was sold by Caterina Bigli Clerici, the last descendant of the noble Milanese family, to Giovanni Battista Sommariva, at the time President of the Governing Committee of the Cisalpine Republic (1797–1802) established by Napoleon Bonaparte in northern Italy. In 1843, Sommariva’s heirs sold the villa to Princess Marianne of Prussia, who gifted the residence to her daughter Charlotte (1831–55) when she married Duke Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen (1826-1914). Despite the early death of his beloved wife in 1855, the duke and his family stayed on at the Lake Como abode, adapting the dwelling to changing needs and tastes, renewing furnishings and décor, as well as adding numerous rare botanical specimens that can still be admired today. During World War I the villa was confiscated by the Italian state and its management entrusted to the Ente Villa Carlotta, established by Royal Decree in 1927.
История виллы начинается с конца XVII века. Внук разбогатевшего на продаже шёлка торговца, Giorgio Cerici, ставший маркизом, решил возвести на берегу озера Комо летнюю резиденцию, это было в 1690 году. Около виллы был разбит парк, первые упоминания о котором датируются 1699 годом. Трёхэтажное здание виллы было сооружено в 1745 году уже при его внуке - маркизе Anton Giorgio Cerici (1715-1768), который перед смертью разорился на строительстве своего дворца в Милане. В 1801 году единственная дочь Антона Джорджо продала виллу банкиру и другу Наполеона Giovanni Sommariva (1762-1826). Чтобы любоваться видом озера, Соммарива добавил балконы, установил большие часы на фасаде, приобрёл работы известных скульпторов и художников, часть парка превратил в романтический сад в английском стиле. После его кончины наследники всё его имущество распродали. В 1843 году виллу купила принцесса Марианна, жена принца Альберта Прусского. Примечательно, что за виллу она заплатила в десять раз больше, чем 40 лет назад Джованни Соммарива. Спустя четыре года принцесса подарила виллу своей дочери Карлотте как свадебный подарок. Вилла знаменита своим парком, в котором насчитывается более 150 разновидностей азалий, есть также древние камелии, рододендроны, кедры, многовековые секвойи, платаны. Большая в заслуга в создании парка приналдлежит мужу Карлотты, в честь которой была названа вилла, герцогу Саксен-Мейнинген Георгу II (1826-1914). Герцог был не только покровителем искусств, на вилле часто гостил Йоханнес Брамс, но и увлекался ботаникой и вместе со своим сыном Бернардо III расширял парк. После его смерти в 1914 году имущество перешло к сыну, герцогу Бернарду III (1851-1928), последнему герцогу Саксен-Мейнингенскому. В 1921 году вилла была конфискована и в 1927 году передана в фонд "Вилла Карлотта".

The Franciscan friary of Irrelagh, known as “Muckross Abbey” was founded for the Observatine Franciscans about 1448, by Daniel McCarthy Mor. The friars remained in occupation at Muckross at least intermittently and despite the dissolution of the monasteries until Cromwellian times. The present well-preserved ruins include a church with a wide, square tower and fine windows, and a vaulted cloister with an arcade of arches around a square courtyard.

Kiyosato Lake (清里湖・Kiyosato-ko) in Yamanashi Prefecture stands out among the numerous reservoirs I have visited in the Kanto Plain. Initially, I found some of the embankment’s appearance somewhat unattractive, but little did I know that there was a fascinating reason behind its unique design.
The Roman Catholic church of St Charles in Gosforth was built in 1911 (replacing an earlier iron-built structure) and is a handsome building with two small west steeples flanking the main facade and a wide cruciform body culminating in a shallow apse. The interior is partially enlivened by marble-cladding, particularly around the sanctuary.
The outstanding features here however are in glass, principally the two large windows that dominate the north and south transepts, the largest windows in the church and both filled with gloriously rich stained glass by Harry Clarke Studios of Dublin and installed in 1945 (long after the death of Clarke himself and most likely designed by his successor Richard King). The south window depicts the Nativity, whilst that to the north represents the Deposition, with Christ's body being removed from the Cross. There is a further window by the same studio in the south nave clerestorey depicting Christ before Pilate, somewhat smaller and sadly less accessible.
This is a thoroughly rewarding church to visit for lovers of stained glass, though it is best to check with the church about access as it isn't always open outside mass times.
