The End of a Summer Day July 26, 2026, Sayocho, Hyogo Prefecture, Sunflower Field Captured at the sunflower field in Sayocho, Hyogo Prefecture. I encountered the sight of the summer sun setting beyond the sea of blooming sunflowers at dusk. I pressed the shutter to capture the end of a summer day, as the sky and sunflower field were painted by the sunset.

A Summer Break July 14, 2026 Photographed at Yamasa Lotus Garden, Yumesaki Town, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture While photographing the lotus flowers, I spotted a small dragonfly resting on the tip of a petal. Its appearance, as if taking a brief break in the summer sunlight, left a lasting impression, and I gently pressed the shutter.

Nagano's soul food, "oyaki" is a local dish from Nagano Prefecture made with a dough of wheat or buckwheat flour, wrapped around various fillings such as vegetables, wild plants, mushrooms, and sweet red bean paste. Today, I would like to introduce you to the oyaki from "Azumidō" 😄 They offer over 40 different types of oyaki throughout the year. Inside the shop, there is an irori (traditional sunken hearth) where you can grill and enjoy the oyaki you purchase.♫ Located right by the Azumino Interchange, make sure to stop by Swan Garden when you visit Azumino!
