Ebisu Island is a small island you can reach by crossing a bridge. 🏝️ You can walk around the island in about 15 to 20 minutes. Along the promenade, you can enjoy the remnants of ancient submarine volcanoes up close, such as the striped patterns formed by the accumulation of pumice and volcanic ash, and the strata of debris flows that occurred underwater. 👀🌋 During low tide, a wide rocky area called "Senjojiki" appears, and you can also see the Izu Islands and Mikomoto Island from the south side of the island. ✨ The ocean's transparency is also outstanding. 👌💙 📍 Ebisu Island (Susaki, Shimoda City) Parking: Available (a few spots, paid during summer) Access: Bus 🚌 From Shimoda Station, take the bus bound for Susaki Coast (Line 10) to "Susaki Kaigan" stop, then walk about 7 minutes.

The autumn foliage season around Lake Akan has ended as the leaves have begun to fall. However, this season's maple and Katsura tree foliage put on a spectacular show of color.🍁🍂 While the scenery around Lake Akan doesn't transform into a single, unified sea of color like in other regions, the beauty of Lake Akan's autumn leaves lies in the stunning vistas you can only witness because the colors are set against the waterside.♪ We hope to see these same beautiful sights again next season.

Taken on October 17, 2026. This is Ieyasu's float, rotating in front of Atre Kawagoe.

Reflected in the red umbrella is the traditional beauty of Kyoto. Standing amidst the vibrant autumn leaves is Aoi Tayū from Shimabara, Kyoto. The Shimabara Tayū carries on a tradition that has lasted since the Edo period. Her luxurious kimono, unique Japanese hairstyle, and hairpins embody the aesthetic sensibility and craftsmanship of Japan. The vivid autumn leaves and the elegant figure of the Tayū, passed down through generations, create a moment where Kyoto's autumn scenery and traditional culture intertwine. I captured this fleeting moment in a photograph. I hope that such culture and beauty will be inherited by future generations. Location: Arashiyama, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture Model: Aoi Tayū

In a garden glowing with autumn colors, enjoy a cup of tea. On a night illuminated by the Mid-Autumn Moon. The pure Japanese garden, Korakuen, was lit up as if the moonlight had descended, allowing us to relish the night foliage instead of night cherry blossoms. Walking along the path of light from the garden entrance, we could see the illuminated autumn leaves and pavilions on both the right and left. Without the prepared lighting, the night Korakuen would be so dark that one couldn't distinguish between the soil and the roots of the trees. The sight of leaves, stones, moss, and lanterns floating in the darkness due to the various lights was truly wonderful. The redness of the autumn leaves was more vivid than during the day and burned into the back of my eyelids. On the night of the illumination, a tea ceremony was held at the tea room, Korakutei, within the garden. The tea utensils were adorned with autumn leaves, and the sweets and tea bowls also revealed the essence of autumn. While savoring the sweetness of the sweets and the warmth of the tea, we fully enjoyed the autumn tea ceremony. - This illumination project was held for the third time, following last autumn and this spring. Thanks to this event, we met many villagers visiting Korakuen for the first time, those who look forward to coming every time, and visitors from nearby towns, among others. May this wonderful garden continue to be a cherished place for many in the future. Korakuen will be closed for the winter, so in the remaining few days, I would be delighted if you could come and visit.
