Oshi Castle, located in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture, has a rich history dating back to the late 15th century. Despite facing numerous attacks, this formidable castle never succumbed. While the original structure no longer stands, visitors can still witness the earthen foundation of the main castle, the towering stone walls, the Korai Gate, and other fascinating ruins. The reconstructed "Three-storied Tower" from the Edo Period now houses captivating exhibits, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. Ascend to the observation room on the highest floor for a breathtaking view of Gyoda City. My visit at twilight revealed an eerily silent and empty atmosphere, evoking the enchanting aura of this ancient site.

Meigetsu-in Temple 2020.06.12 When a state of emergency was declared and I couldn't go out of the prefecture. Even at Meigetsu-in Temple, it was written that only people living in Kanagawa could enter. Thanks to this, I was able to take pictures that did not show many people.

Tauszvets Bridge 2022.08. The Tauszvets Bridge is submerged in August every year There is an Observation decks about 800m away, but if you want to get closer, you can take a tour or make a reservation in advance from the forest road gate key reservation page on the website of the Kamishihoro Town Tourism Association. The guide said that it is collapsing and will collapse someday.

Oarai Isosaki Shrine no Kamiiso no Torii (shrine gate) 2024.01.06 Here, for the first time, I was able to take a picture of the sun rising from the horizon. This is Daruma Asahi.

It is the Fujiya Hotel in Hakone Miyanoshita. It is one of the classic hotels in Japan. The building, which has an unusual design that is a mix of Japanese and Western, makes you feel the history of Japanese hotels.

It is a tea house in Suwa in the Tomi Garden of the Imperial Palace. Anyone can enter the Tomi Garden for free, and some of them are the ruins of the castle tower of Edo Castle. Suwa no Chaya is a Japanese house located in Ninomaru Garden. Why don't you take a stroll?

It is a bamboo forest of Hokokuji Temple in Kamakura. Bamboo forests, which are not so rare for Japanese people, also seem to be popular with foreigners. However, the bamboo forest at Hokokuji Temple well maintained very beautiful, so why not go there?

It is the Imperial Palace Fushimi Tower. Cross the double-bridge Megane Bridge, turn around and cross the iron bridge, and you will see it on your left. It is one of the buildings that made up Edo Castle. Normally you can't see it, This photo was taken when I entered the castle as a general visitor.

It is the Marunouchi station building of Tokyo Station that everyone knows. It is a symbol of the history of Japan's railways. After completion in 1914, it was partially destroyed during the Pacific War, and restoration work was completed in 2012. I think the spirit of trying to restore historical buildings to their original state is cool Japan.

Hachimantai's Dragon Eye 2024.05.18 I was able to see the dragon eye that had been opened. It's like opening your eyes once and then closing them. The best time to see it is until the end of this month. It was unusually early this year.

I started helping farmers this year! For the first time, I learned that most of the famous lily root takes a lot of traditional manual work, and it takes five years to eat. And the young Indonesians I work with. Although we don't speak the language, we are important friends (^^) who work together to cherish historic specialties

Cherry blossoms on the approach to Makari Shrine. And farmers during the busy season? Cycling with my daughter every year! Pray to God for safety!
