こんにちは日本語講師のRumikoです。

今日は月曜日なので「富士山情報」をお届けします。
皆さん、富士山に幻の滝があるのをご存知ですか？
ちょうど今頃、５月～６月にかけてのみ現れる滝です。

なぜ幻なのか、なぜ５月～６月だけなのかご説明します。

まず、最初に富士山の岩肌と水の関係についてお話しますね。
富士山には年間にたくさんの雨や雪が降ります。それらの水どうなると思いますか？
通常多くの山には川があり雨水は川となって麓（ふもと）へ流れていきます。しかし、富士山には川がありません。
なぜでしょう・・・・？

実は富士山の表面はとてもゴツゴツガサガサとして水を通しやすい火山噴出物でおおわれています。とても固いスポンジのような感じです。ですので、雨などはそのまま地下へ染み込んでいきます。地中奥深くへ染み込んだ水は富士山のいくつもの麓で湧き水として地表へ現れます。「忍野八海」や「柿田川湧水」「白糸の滝」などが有名ですが、ほかにも多数あります。

しかし、富士山の一か所だけ、年に一度だけ川が流れ、標高約2000ｍのところに滝が現れるのです。
なんとも不思議ですよね。

場所は須走口登山道から約２０分行ったところにあります。
登山道とは逆側に行かないとなりません。迷わないように看板やロープが設置されており、歩きやすくなっています。そうはいっても標高の高い山道なのでそれなりの装備は必要です。しばらく、木々の間や岩がゴツゴツした場所などを歩くと見通しの良い場所に出ます。晴れていれば下には山中湖、上を見れば富士山頂が見えます。

水の流れが激しい日は、そろそろ滝の音が聞こえてきます。
期待に胸を膨らませて進むとそこには滝が！
しばらく滝の流れを堪能した後は、滝の上へと上がり、そのまま川にそって登っていくことが出来ます。
流れ方によって川の音が変わり、景色が変わり、最高に気持ちいいです。

雪が解ける時にのみ現れる滝。
「幻」というだけあって、５月～６月といってもその年の雪の降り方や、気温によって現れる時期もかわります。
また、せっかく行っても流れていない日もあります。
ねらい目は雪解けが一気に進むような気温が高い日の午後。

さらに、「幻」なのは、この川、流れている途中で地面に染み込んでいき麓までは行きつきません。途中で川が消えてしまうのです。

なんとも不思議な川であり、滝ですよね。
見られたらラッキー。
あなたの周りには「幻の・・」と言われているものはありますか？

では、今日はここまで。最後までお聞きくださってありがとうございます。
皆さま、楽しい毎日をお過ごしください。



楽しく毎日過ごしましょう

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. Today, I want to talk about how to take better photos with your cell phone, with your mobile phone. Now, it doesn't matter if you have an iPhone or an Android phone, like a Samsung or Google Pixel or whatever Android phone you have. These techniques will all apply and they will all help you take better photos.

So let's begin. Number one, make sure that you have enough storage on your phone so that you can take photos. Now, I know that I have this problem all the time. I don't have enough storage space and so then I don't take the photo because I don't want to take up space. So do yourself a favor and back your photos up to the cloud or back up to an external device and make sure you have enough space to take the photo in the first place.

Number two is to carry a portable battery charger. So if your phone doesn't have power, you can't take photos. So carry just a little USB charger with your phone. All right. We're almost ready to actually begin taking photos.  So here we go for the actual taking photos. Clean your lens. So your phone lens will get oils off of your finger.
And that will make the images less clear and more blurry. So clean your lens. It can be with a t- shirt or whatever, but always, always, always clean your lens before you take photos with your phone.


Number two, when you take a picture, choose the hero of your photo. So that doesn't even if it's just taking a picture of your food where you've had what you're having for dinner. Choose whatever is the most important item on the plate. And make that your hero. So if that's your steak or if it's a piece of asparagus, make that the center of attention for the video.
It doesn't have to be in the dead center, but it should be the main subject. And that's also with a person. Sorry text count limit
