Saturday, August 17 — National Mountain-Stream Fishing Tournament 🎣🔥 Here’s another fishing tournament story 💪 Today the National Mountain-Stream Fishing Tournament took place on the Mikasokawa tributary of the Gokase River 🤩 This was the second time, following last year 👏 About 70 children and around 100 adults gathered at Mikasokawa — a great turnout 😚 Like at the Kuraoka fishing tournament, I was reminded that fishing is an activity for all ages and genders. So many people were enjoying themselves — it was wonderful 😳✨ This time the children also had a fish-catching event where they grabbed fish by hand 😆 Surprisingly, eels were mixed in, so both kids and the adults watching were fired up 🔥🔥🔥 The vibe was “Bring one back for sure!” 🤣 haha After the excitement there was weighing and an awards ceremony 🏆✨ There were awards for highest total catch from 1st to 3rd place, plus a separate big-fish prize 🙌 The 1st-place total-catch winner landed 4.16 kg of fish 🎉👏 That’s a bit more than two 2-liter PET bottles worth of fish 😲‼ Amazing 👏 Congratulations to the champion 😆💕 The big-fish prize went to a second-year junior high student who caught a hefty 34 cm fish and placed admirably 🤩 Where could such a big fish have been hiding?! Congratulations 🥳👏 The raffle afterward featured a row of luxurious prizes 🫢 With kids and adults smiling, the fishing tournament wrapped up 🙌 Now that Obon and the fishing tournament are over, the weather is slowly starting to cool… When it’s hot you want summer to end quickly, but once you sense its end you feel a bit wistful 😌 Let’s stay well and keep going strong despite Obon fatigue and the heat 🕺✨

The Kodai Torch Fire Festival will take place on August 14 in Ogata Town, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu. This traditional event has been passed down since the Edo period. At night, when the Kodai torches are lit all at once, their lights rise like a dream around Harajiri Falls and across the Ogata Plain.

Norikura Highlands Maime no Pond 2020.08.14 It's only 5 minutes from the parking lot, but it's a bear habitat Thereare bear-repellent sticks on the shore of the pond that make sounds. In 2020, there was not much water, but I was able to take a reflection. The stream stars were also captured, making it a great night.

Photographed 8/15/24. It is a wind chime at the edge of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine. The wind chimes on the veranda had changed to the color of love.

Photographed 8/15/24. It's about 7 o'clock in the morning. I pray that nothing will happen.

This is a photo of when I went to Kiyomizu Temple. Many wind chimes swayed in the wind and made a tasteful sound. In the intense heat of 35 degrees Celsius, the cool sound of wind chimes was healing to tourists. I also wanted to capture the vivid contrast between the vermilion of the hall and the blue sky of Thailand day, so I took a picture. I think it became a piece where you can feel the summer of Japan on its own.

This is one of the Nagaoka fireworks held in this year. I like the dark atmosphere of the red smoke reflected in the reflection of the light and the green bridge.

Tado Shrine the day after the Festival Mr./Ms. priests were cleaning everywhere. I like the scenery of the lanterns lined up in an orderly manner, like a shrine in Obon. Mie Prefecture Kuwana City Tado Town

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. With the approach of the typhoon tomorrow, the wind chimes will be removed.

This photo shows a kusu tree in the Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Fukuoka. Every year in early summer, the kusu tree pushes out old leaves to produce new shoots. The kusu tree in this photo has been producing new shoots every year for 1,500 years and connecting life. It's a little different from seeing it in real life, but I hope it conveys the greatness and power of life.

Thursday, August 15 — Fishing Tournament in Kuraoka District🎣🔥 Today, Thursday, August 15, a fishing tournament took place in the Kuraoka district👏 About 350 kg of yamame and rainbow trout were released into the river🐟 The event opened with a fishing class for children🥳 The kids picked things up incredibly fast, and the adults watching around them kept saying, “Wow, this isn’t just ‘they’re good’… their casting spots are perfect…” in amazement🤣🤣🤣 The fish the children caught were grilled and eaten right away, just enough for each family🤤💕Fresh fish they had caught themselves must have tasted extra delicious🥰 After that came the adult fishing tournament💪! Veterans who know all the best spots and techniques kept reeling fish in one after another😯👏Truly impressive… They put away the caught fish so quickly that it was hard to capture good photos😂 While the adults fished earnestly, there was also a grab-and-catch contest for children…🫳🐟 Kids grabbed the slippery fish non-stop until there were none left, and some families ended up taking home full plastic bags of fish😂 Older elementary and middle school kids seemed put off by the sliminess, so the smaller children fearlessly caught the most — which was amusing to watch🤭✨ By midday, even the adults had nets full of fish🤣 The day ended with a raffle for luxurious prizes like sweets, daily necessities, and sake👏 This summer event, a family-friendly fishing tournament at the end of Obon, must have given participants a wonderful summer memory😌🌻
