Announcement of Results
If you were selected as a winner, please follow the proper procedures to receive your prize.
"Sumanume" is a restaurant with an Okinawan atmosphere that sounds like you're going to hear the sound of sanshin.It is said to be a very popular restaurant not only for local people but also for tourists.It's a masterpiece that I want to convey deliciousness to the world along with Japanese soba and udon.There are many local gourmet foods like "Soki Soba" throughout Japan.
Mt. Azuma in winter is called "Snow Monster" because it snows on conifers and looks like snowmen.It seems that people who have never climbed Mt. Azuma can enjoy tree ice while riding a lift.I chose one that captures the beautiful clear snowfield as a good work.
Bandai Azuma Skyline is popular as a driving and touring course, and you can feel the dignified morning air and the movement of your mind looking at the superb view next to your motorcycle.The vertical composition from the road in front to the sky makes you feel deeper and grander.
"Inari Koji" is full of retro vibes that are likely to appear in Showa movies, and colorful signs are lined up vertically and horizontally.You can enjoy nostalgic alley scenery such as a bulletin board illuminated by naked light bulbs."When I visited Obihiro, I chose this work that I wanted to stop by as a good one.
Kukai (Kobo Daishi) was opened, and "Daihonzan Daishoin," a historic temple in Miyajima, is also a temple where you can visit local warehouses such as "500 Rahan statues.""The scenery of Jizo-sama lined up in steps with autumn leaves, and fog floating in the sun must have been more divine and fantastic than the picture."
