Welcome to the pure Japanese garden "Korakuen Garden". The mosses, hidden beneath the snow, are starting to reveal themselves, glistening in the sunlight and dew. The pure Japanese garden "Korakuen Garden" is located behind Hotel Rimu. It's about a five-minute walk from the hotel. Once you pass through the gate, the sound of leaves rustling and the distant chirping of birds reach your ears. Inside the garden, there are ponds of various sizes, and you can stroll around them at your leisure. You can also enjoy a quiet moment in the gazebo. Korakuen Garden is scheduled to open in mid-May. Admission is free. 📷️ Photo credits to the creatures 🐿️ Instagram @hirok_kato #Korakuen Garden #Pure Japanese Garden

Golden Week is the most beautiful season in Azumino. With the remaining snow on the Northern Alps, sparkling water, and fields full of flowers and greenery, we present the "special scenery" that can only be seen at this time of year. 1. Water Mirror... The best time to see it is early morning. If the wind blows, the surface will be disturbed and you won’t be able to see it! 💦 2. Daio Wasabi Farm... The cold-resistant net is already up. 3. Mount Nagamine... You can drive there, and of course, you can also hike. 4. National Alps Azumino Park... Tulips, rapeseed flowers, and nemophila are in full bloom. 5. Apple orchards in the Misato District... Apple blossoms as far as the eye can see. Why not come to Azumino this Golden Week to capture a "special shot"? The time spent surrounded by water and greenery will surely fill your heart. 😆 We recommend exploring by rental bicycle!

Aichi Museum of Flight Toyohama, Toyokawa, Nishikasugai District, Aichi Prefecture (inside Nagoya Airport) The Aichi Museum of Flight is a specialized aviation museum adjacent to Aichi Prefecture's Nagoya Airport. It features aircraft related to Aichi, including Japan's first post-war domestically produced passenger aircraft, the YS-11, and the actual T-4 Blue Impulse self-defense aircraft, allowing visitors to see them up close. This spot fulfills the longing for the open sky for children and adults alike... In addition to exhibitions, there are also experiences where you can actually pilot an aircraft, experiments explaining how aircraft work, and science shows. They offer stroller rentals and nursing rooms, making it a welcoming place for families with small children. Nagoya Airport, officially known as Nagoya Aerodrome, is a civilian airport managed by Aichi Prefecture and shares its runway with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force Komaki Air Base. On the civilian side, regular flights from Fuji Dream Airlines, business jets, and small aircraft operate, coexisting with self-defense aircraft. Camera lenses, wide-angle lenses... recommended... Even with a smartphone's wide-angle...

The puddle formed in the riverbed reflected the beautiful upside-down cherry blossoms.

A carpet of flowers in Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture. The entire area is beautifully pink.

Spring in Yokohama. The nighttime cherry blossom illumination at Sankeien has become so iconic that it can be called a staple. You can enjoy the reflection of the cherry blossoms on the water's surface, making it a place you want to visit for photography every year. The interplay between cherry blossom blooming forecasts and weather predictions. That’s spring in Yokohama.

Thanks to the trajectory of the petals carried by the wind, it feels as if the invisible wind has become visible. SAKURA - Fubuki. I am confident that one day, people from abroad will understand this word.

The black cat will come to play with the brown and white cat.

The cherry blossoms are still beautiful even after they fall. As a Japanese person, I can proudly say that. I captured the moment when the petals scatter, along with the waxing moon. It became a photo that embodies wabi-sabi.

Dandelions, representing spring in Japan. I believe the simple colors of yellow and green symbolize spring alongside rapeseed flowers. In a world of yellow and green, my heart feels uplifted.

Although it is still a bit chilly, it seems that it will soon become warm. The cherry blossoms, reminiscent of spring after a year, are beautiful and fall gently with a pleasant breeze. Before all the cherry blossoms fall, I look up at this year's blossoms and remember the spring of those days.

A field of wild poppies stretches out before you. Combined with the spring sunlight, the canvas painted in just two colors, orange and green, expresses a simple yet pleasant world view.

It's been a while since I posted about my cat. She often comes over to play.
