This is one of the dark groove waterfalls near Yoro Valley in Chiba Prefecture, which I visited last fall. It was before winter and there wasn't much greenery, so I'd like to shoot again in the summer next time. The Hot spring on the premises was the best.

This is one photo taken at Ashikaga Flower Park. In the evening, when the sun was about to set a little, I took a picture of the white wisteria flower in front of the pond as the theme, and I felt that the balance between the red and white colors of the Japanese maple tree on the left was beautiful. There were so many people that it was very difficult to shoot with as few people as possible.

The Torii (shrine gate) gate with light shining through the blue autumn leaves was very mysterious

The city viewed from above Tomakomai West Port 3. The oil storage facility in eastern Tomakomai 4. Mount Tarumae lava dome (in the distance you can see Lake Shikotsu and Mount Fuppushi in Chitose)

Is it a heron couple? That's what I thought. I felt that the pure white wings of the heron on the deep green were very clear and beautiful, so I stood here and took a picture. I don't usually take pictures of birds, but when I see a heron, I just snap the shutter.

May 5, 2025 (Reiwa 7) 4:48 Photograph of Oarai Isosaki Shrine "Kamiiso no Torii (shrine gate)" On that day, the Sunrise rose through the thin clouds, and the gentle light illuminated the sky, the sea, and the shrine. Not only the Sunrise and the Torii (shrine gate) gate, but also the bubbling waves are beautiful.

It is a cherry blossom that I saw in Nemuro, which is said to be the latest blooming declaration in Japan. It was still a little chilly in Hokkaido, but there were people here and there who came to see it, and I was able to enjoy the second flowering.

Near the Lake Nukabira, the Tauszvets River Bridge, which can only be seen when the Water is low. The magnificent scenery of the Nature spread over the bridges where the Japanese National Railways once ran was and fascinating.

This photo was taken from Haguroyama Shrine in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, when I went to see the first sunrise of this year. I waited from midnight to see the first sunrise for the first time, and the first sunrise I finally saw was so beautiful that it was worth the wait. I realized that this is a traditional Japan tradition.

05/ [French Pavilion] Mainly sponsored by LVMH, the exhibition celebrates Maisons such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, as well as exceptional craftsmanship and creativity. In the exhibition in collaboration with Louis Vuitton and architect Shohei Shigematsu, 85 trunks are used to project the process of manufacturing into an open trunk. It was a masterpiece. Before becoming a couturier, Christian Dior originally wanted to be an architect. As an exhibition that reflects this spirit, one of the highlights is "Lady Dior" by architect Kazuyo Sejima. On the way, you will come out into the outside space. This space is like resting chopsticks, and when you feel calm、、、 there is a 2,300-year-old olive tree. I have come to touch the tree to get energy so that I can live a long life. And the Croissants sold at the French Pavilion are popular, so be sure to try them. #EXPO2025 #Osaka Expo #French Pavilion #LVMH #Louis Vuitton #Dior #Osaka #osaka

🍵 Yamashigi’s Kama-iri Tea 🍵 The season for delicious new tea 🍵 Kama-iri tea grown in Yamashigi no Mori is now ready! Yamashigi no Mori is an old farmhouse in the forest, high in the mountains above 600 meters. This farmhouse, more than 140 years old, used to bustle as a transportation hub in the days before cars. Travelers and cargo moved along the ridgelines with the best views, rather than the lowlands by the rivers. We picked the tender new shoots that grew lushly in Yamashigi no Mori and made them the traditional way to create this "Yamashigi Kama-iri Tea" 🍵 It is made only from the first flush. During Golden Week, households with tea fields focus entirely on picking tea. Several tea factories in the village run at full capacity from morning until night. Yamashigi’s kama-iri tea was produced amid that bustle. It stays boxed in Morotsuka until it reaches your home—never leaving the village—(in reality it is delivered in a bag). Kama-iri tea is a method the people of Morotsuka have continued making for generations. It was brought from China long ago and now survives only in pockets around Kyushu. It accounts for only about 0.02% of the tea distributed nationwide. It offers a gentle sweetness and a slightly toasty aroma. Pour after the water boils and you wait a bit, drink quickly, and from about the third cup the leaves open fully and the aroma drifts—the characteristic kama-ka (kettle scent). Kama-iri tea is common in Morotsuka Village but rare across Japan. 🍵 You can buy it at the online shop Morotsuka Store, at Donkotei’s storefront, and at Morokko House. ※Because quantities are limited, please order early 🙇‍♀️
