Taken on June 16, 2026. These are the hydrangeas at Kawagoe Hachimangu Shrine.

Taken on June 16, 26. This is bitter cream coffee and lemon cube cake. It was a very hot day, and I had a lively conversation with the staff about sunscreen. I enjoy these kinds of casual chats. 😊

This photo captures the peaceful beauty of Japan’s hidden gem — where the gentle breeze moves across the clear blue water, green forests surround the lake, and snow-capped mountains rise quietly in the background. A perfect moment where early summer and winter meet in harmony.

Hello 😃 and welcome to the Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls store! 🍷✨【A day to brighten your heart at Shosenkyo Gorge during the rainy season ☔️🌿】 In this season, the trees soaked by the rain shine even more vividly in Shosenkyo Gorge. At Senga Falls, selected as one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls, the abundant water cascades powerfully, gently healing visitors with its impressive splashes and deep greenery.✨ It's a beautiful scenery that can only be experienced during the rainy season. Just walking around feels like washing away the damp mood. 🍃 And to wrap up your journey… 🍾✨ Enjoy a refreshing sparkling wine made from Yamanashi grapes at the Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls store. 🥂 The crisp bubbles and fruity aroma make the aftertaste of your stroll even more special. Choosing a bottle after soaking in the negative ions of the falls will surely become an unforgettable travel memory. "Today is a treat for myself." How about taking home your favorite bottle with that feeling? ✨ We sincerely look forward to your visit! 😊

It was blooming in the flower bed of a nearby junior high school.

Katahara Onsen Ajisai-no-Sato I visited it the year before last, and it’s a scenic spot where you can enjoy hydrangeas, the sea, and hot springs. The area is quite spacious, and the wall of hydrangeas by the pond was particularly impressive. At night, it is illuminated, and it seems that fireflies also fly nearby.

【GOK SOUND Workshop】 June 13th A "PA and Recording Workshop" was held by Yoshiaki Kondo from GOK SOUND. From 1 PM to 7 PM, we enjoyed a full six hours! In a room at GA.KOPPER (commonly known as the Sandbag Room), live PA practitioners, musicians, those recording their own songs, and people running live houses gathered. At the beginning, a very important discussion on electricity, which is essential for handling equipment. Just in time, thunder rumbled outside the window ⚡️ After a break with bagels and baked goods, we experienced mixing songs recorded on analog tape! We freely adjusted the knobs, bringing in and cutting out the sound of specific instruments, balancing the audio. Watching the analog tape spin round and seeing how the sound changed with our hands was exhilarating. In the latter half, we improvised and recorded participants' original songs. Amid the good tension of being recorded, everyone's adaptability was impressive. Listening to the sounds we played back from the tape... Before we knew it, six hours had flown by. I was glad to see the two from GOK SOUND again this year. Thank you for the live PA the following day as well!! I look forward to the day we can reunite in Nishiokoppe Village again! #Sound #PA #Recording #GOK SOUND
