The "hidden gem" of Tokyo Station is the rooftop of KITTE, located right in front of the Yaesu South Exit. Surprisingly, it's not very crowded, making it a favorite spot where you can relax with a coffee in hand. As you watch the people passing by, you can quietly sense each individual's pace.

It's cold!!! Is turning on the stove giving up? It's chilly at Lake Akan Onsen. The current temperature is 7°C. Despite the cold, many fishing customers are here. Some even caught the elusive Ito fish! There are also cute ducklings 🦆 around. When visiting Lake Akan, please dress warmly. The tourism association also has a board with today's and tomorrow's weather, so be sure to check it out.

Goto City, Fukuejima. An endless blue sky and a winding road. As you walk while feeling the breeze, you can forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a moment that lightens your heart.

Umekita Plaza at Grand Green Osaka As you step into Umekita Park, the first thing that catches your eye is the "large roof" designed by the architectural unit SANAA. It envelops the space with three soft curves spanning 120 meters from north to south, beneath which lies a complex facility featuring the information dissemination center "PLAT UMEKITA," along with cafes and large event spaces. Surrounding it is the spiral staircase "Gate Lantern," which serves as a guiding light for people at night. The plants in the park are primarily selected from those native to the Uemachi Plateau in Osaka, evoking the city's history and culture. Trees that change color in autumn, such as cherry blossoms, maple trees, and katsura, along with flowers like azaleas and camellias, showcase the beauty of Japanese nature throughout the seasons. Why not take a leisurely stroll in the park, where the scenery changes with the seasons? You wouldn't believe that this is in the middle of the city There were hydrangeas blooming... It's a nice plaza filled with greenery in Umeda, Osaka... A great place has been created in the city center 😊😊😊.

(2026-05-30) Chigasaki – Night view of bioluminescent plankton on the beach I received information about a massive red tide in Sagami Bay for the first time in nine years On Saturday, I took a whirlwind tour from Tokyo I appreciate my friend who kindly joined me despite the last-minute invitation m(__)m In the evening I passed through Zushi → Yuigahama → Shichirigahama → Enoshima → Chigasaki → Atami but there was no red tide (;'∀') Reluctantly, while trying to return to Tokyo via the reverse route I passed through Chigasaki and discovered a post about the bioluminescent plankton right there Amidst the confusion, I somehow found a parking lot and managed to take some photos (●´ω｀●) There were only one or two of these posts to find but already a huge number of people were flocking to the beach Everyone noticed it pretty quickly (;'∀') Although the photos aren't enough to say I've cleared the backlog of my life's captures I'm just glad it didn't end without getting any shots (〃´o｀)=3

The "Flower Full Project" is a community development activity to welcome visitors to Lake Akan Onsen with beautiful flowers! Today, everyone in the hot spring district planted cute pink flowers in hanging baskets and set them up around the hot spring district.

【A Summer Retreat Behind the Hotel】 You can feel the temperature rising sharply, and the hot summer is approaching. The cool breeze in the mornings and evenings is a blessing.🎐🍃 For those who want to enjoy a refreshing atmosphere, I recommend "Korakuen Garden," a pure Japanese garden located behind Hotel Rimu. The spring foliage and azaleas stand out beautifully against the greenery. The white flowers are Japanese andromeda. In kanji, it's written as "馬酔木". The leaves are toxic, and horses that eat them can become numb and unable to walk properly. This is said to be the origin of the names Ashibi and Asebi. The gazebo in the garden is perfect for potluck picnics or enjoying tea at a leisurely pace. The sound of leaves rustling in the breeze and the chirping of little birds will soothe your ears.

Hiroshima Prefecture's Miyajima has a hidden gem. Step away from the bustling main street filled with tourists, and you'll find a quiet back alley like this. Walking along this path while gazing up at the five-story pagoda feels like a glimpse of the 'hidden gem' that Miyajima gently reveals.

A quietly extending passageway beneath Shinjuku. With few people around, it feels like a hidden gem, separated from the hustle and bustle of the city. In the calm light and reflections, there was an atmosphere reminiscent of a passage leading to a secret base.
