Welcome to ?️ the Chamber of Secrets I completely forgot ? to post It is a darkroom that is no longer in use. For the first time in a long time, I wanted to bake paper in monochrome. It's ☺️ nostalgic.

The sunlight is too bright!

Today, from 6 a.m., I have been cutting the straw and green fields used for the New Year's rope decoration. Dried in the sun for two days and stored until December. It's real rice green field harvesting. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the volunteer of the community.

It is a fireworks festival that was previously held in the Kojima district of Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. The fireworks festival of Japanese night events is making a comeback in many places, and it seems to be entertaining summer nights. We hope to revive the fireworks festival in the Kojima area.

Okayama Korakuen Garden is one of the three most famous gardens in Japan in Okayama City. Every year from August 1st to 31st, the summer night illumination event "Fantasy Garden" is held. During the period, projections and concerts are also held. It is also good to take a walk in the illuminated Japanese garden at night when it gets a little cooler.

Ugo Town, Akita Prefecture's "Nishimaonnai Bon Odori" Part 2 This is a continuation of the previous post.

Located in Ugo Town, Akita Prefecture, Nishi Baonnai Bon Odori is a summer festival with a history and tradition of more than 700 years, which is counted as one of the three major Bon Odori dances in Japan along with the Gujo Odori of Gifu Prefecture and the Awa Odori of Tokushima Prefecture. The venue is Nishimaonnai Honmachi Street, which is the central village of Ugo Town, and it is a bon event held for 3 days from August 16th ~ 18th every year. It was mysterious and gorgeous to see dancers dressed in distinctive torioi hats (knitted hats), colorful and beautifully stitched kimonos and yukatas, dancing gracefully to the beating of taiko drums and songs. Especially this year, as it was the first regular event in four years, people from outside the town were able to participate in the dance, and many people from inside and outside the prefecture came to see it. Photos of the festival will continue after this, but I hope you can see it.

Neapolitan spaghetti, pumpkin and dumplings are salad. Neapolitan spaghetti is full of kitchen garden toma, garlic, onions, basil, etc.

Large, medium, and small tomatoes grew glossily. The taste is also excellent.

Salmon are running upstream! You can ? observe it up close at "Totorodo" Salmon are born in rivers, grow large in the sea, and eventually return up their hometown rivers. Fry recovered from their eggs in rivers descend to the sea in spring with melted snow, and travel back and forth between the Bering Sea in summer and the Gulf of Alaska in winter. Almost four years later, the mature salmon migrate south from the Bering Sea along the Kuril Islands, returning to their hometown rivers to spawn from September to November. Fishway observation room and torodo Address: 127 Aikawa Makubetsu Nakagawa-gun, Hokkaido Open: End of April to November from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (depending on the season)

Went on a trip to Matsumoto during the Obon holiday. We arrived Friday and our first stop after checking in at our hotel was Matsumoto Castle. The statue in the first photo is of Banryu Shonin (播隆上人). Apparently he was a Buddhist monk and prominent mountaineer during the early 1800s. I thought it was interesting so I took a photo of it. Matsumoto Castle was really incredible. I think it's definitely one of the most beautiful castles in Japan. If I had a better camera, I would have been able to take some nicer photos, but I'm pretty pleased with the photos I took, despite having taken them from my smartphone. The inside of the castle was really awesome and I spent a lot of time looking at all of the different exhibits showing the weaponry used on the battlefield, etc. Most of the exhibits have English and Japanese too, which is nice if you don't speak Japanese but are interested in learning about the history of the castle. On Saturday we took a bus to Kamikochi. The bus to Kamokochi took about an hour longer than expected as there was a lot of people going there for the Obon holiday. The views were really incredible, and compared to the city of Matsumoto, the area was a nice cool temperature. One of the other bridges near Kappa Bridge (河童橋) was probably like 10 degrees cooler than the rest of the Kamikochi area too. We hiked from Taisho Pond (大正池) to Kappa Bridge in about an hour. It was pretty good exercise and totally flat, so pretty much anyone can enjoy the walking trails. There are a lot of scenic views along the trail from Taisho Pond to Kappa Bridge, and some of the views of the water were just magical. I wasn't able to capture just how beautiful the place is with my photos, but it's really gorgeous. Once we got closer to Kappa Bridge we started seeing a lot of monkeys walking around too, which was kind of neat. Apparently their population is increasing in the area because people keep feeding them, so make sure not to do that if you visit. On our last day in Matsumoto we decided to check out some other spots in town, and ended up visiting Nawate Street, a nice little shopping street with some cool shops and cafes. We got some ice cream and sat down by the river running through the town and relaxed for a bit. After that we headed up to Joyama Park (the last photo). The walk to the park was pretty long with how hot it was outside but the view from the top was pretty incredible. It was a nice way to end our trip. I think Matsumoto Castle and Kamikochi are definitely some of the best places to visit if you're sightseeing in Matsumoto, so definitely make some time to visit them.

"Tokachigawa Onsen Burachari" This time, I rode a bicycle on a nature walking course from among 6 different courses! !! This course is about 14km per lap, and it is a course where you can enjoy the nature of Tokachi! The Tourism Association offers rental bicycles, so please enjoy the great nature! !!

? Corals ? The sea in Ginowan is amazing ❣️. Uncommon in urban areas A valuable place ? ♀️ where corals still exist Springing up in the Oyama district of Ginowan City Due to mineral-rich spring water By maintaining the sea temperature (22-23 degrees) throughout the year, We are ? able to protect corals and living creatures. From the fishing port in front of the Ginowan Marine Support Center It takes about 5 minutes by boat and you will ? arrive in no time. You don't have to go to the northern sea to see the corals!
