Greetings
Thank you for your amazing entries in the 7th "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest - "Autumn in Japan."
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who posted their photos of autumn in Japan.
We received a wide range of submissions of photos depicting autumn in Japan, including photos of nature, such as autumn leaves, traditional Japanese events, and even photos of children, and we had a great time selecting the winning entries.
We also learned new things about places and information that we did not know previously.
We will continue to hold the COOL JAPAN VIDEOS photo contests on a regular basis.
We hope that by posting information about Japan, more and more people will learn about its charms and actually visit Japan.
Thank you for your continued support of COOL JAPAN VIDEOS.
Announcement of Results
There were some winners who were selected but we were unable to contact them.
If you were selected as a winner, please follow the proper procedures to receive your prize.
This year's harvest moon was especially full, and we were able to see its beautiful glow all over Japan.
Nowadays, it is rare to see offerings for moon viewing.
We would like to give an award to this photo, which captures a traditional Japanese custom passed down from generation to generation.
It is a festival to comfort the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning enshrined at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, and the shrine maidens offer prayers in the form of dances.
In the beautiful autumn moonlight, you can feel the traditional Japaneseness of the fantastic dances.
We chose this photo as it captures an event that continues to carry on the traditions of Japan.
There are many Jizo statues here, and Jizo tours are a popular tourist attraction.
We were drawn to this photo by the "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" Jizo statues colored with autumn leaves and dressed in lovely autumnal attire.
The best time to see it is from late September to early November, and the "Hyogo-Tomine Highlands Silver Grass Festival" is held to coincide with the best time to see it.
We chose this photo that captures the melancholy scenery of autumn.
The bales, made of rolled rice straw, are used as compost or feed for cows.
Combined with the morning glow, it's a very atmospheric shot.
We chose this photo because it captures a precious moment that can only be seen for a short time after the rice harvest.
for all your submissions!

The yellow carpet and the ginkgo leaves dancing in the wind create an amazing, autumnal atmosphere.
The grand prize goes to this photo, which captures a rare and spectacular view that can only be seen during the autumn foliage season.
