I have been enjoying the summer mountains with my friends for the first time in a long yellowtail. I took a picture of my friends departing from "Yanzanso" and heading to the summit ~ Mt. Fatal Demon with the summit included.

After shooting at the lily garden in Fukuroi City, I stopped by "Kanusai" and saw a wind chime hanging in the Precincts and making a cool sound. I took a picture while waiting for the feathers to flutter in the wind.

In the morning, as we drove south at the foothills of Mt. Mount Fuji in the rain, the weather suddenly improved. 　With a surprising yellowtail of recovery, I hurried to Kamikuichishiki Village. 　I found a moderate number of trees, and when the clouds streamed in moderately, I put the sun in and took a picture　　　　

After taking pictures of the starry sky at Asama Highlands, I took pictures at Shiraito Falls, and when I arrived at the site early in the morning, about seven photographers arrived first. I managed to secure a place to shoot and waited for the sunlight to shine. I waited for the sunlight to start turning around around 7 a.m. I posted it yesterday with the same name, but I didn't know how to put the sentence, so I posted it. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please discard it if it and applicable.

Would you like to eat lotus while admiring the lotus flowers? We recommend the local specialty “hasu udon,” a subtly green noodle made with lotus leaf. It has a faint lotus aroma, thin noodles, and a nice chew. Even if the heat has left you a bit drained this summer, you can slurp it down with ease!

The rooster-crowing imitation contest is based on a local legend. According to the tale, a troublesome demon settled in the area and demanded, "Give me the village maiden as a bride!" The troubled village headman consulted a monk, who told the demon, "If you carve five stone Buddhas on the cliff in one night, I will give you the maiden as a bride; if you cannot, you must leave the village." Worried villagers checked at night and found the demon carving the fifth statue. They had the village’s rooster-call master imitate a rooster, and the demon mistook the sound for dawn and fled. ■■■ Access to Bungoono City central area ■■■ About a 3-hour drive from JR Hakata Station, Fukuoka Prefecture About a 2-hour drive from JR Kumamoto Station, Kumamoto Prefecture About a 1 hour 20 minute drive from JR Beppu Station, Oita Prefecture About a 1 hour 20 minute drive from JR Yufuin Station, Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■ Introducing tourism and recommended spots in Kyushu’s Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture ■■■■■■■■■■■■ https://sato-no-tabi.jp/news/20250813event-mie/...

Speaking of summer drinks, "cider" This is a shop in Yoro Falls (Gifu Prefecture). Because it was the middle of summer, it was hot and sweat was streaming. That's when I discovered "Yoro Cider". Although I struggled to open the bottle, I was able to drink cold cider and enjoy the coolness. The key to this photo is the color. I shot it with a camera called Papershoot, and imagined and directed the nostalgic feeling of the time when this bottle-type juice was the norm. As a result, I was able to create a photo that looked like it was taken on film, and I was able to give it an emo look.

Speaking of summer flowers, "sunflower" I went to a sunflower field in Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture, where sunflowers are in full bloom. There were many people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, and they were taking pictures while enjoying the sunflowers. I photographed the sunset and sunflowers with my favorite digital camera, Papershoot. The beauty of this camera is that it expresses light in a good Ume plum. The point of this photo is that in order to express the Scene and the dynamics of the sunflowers being gently illuminated by the setting sunflower, the camera was taken slightly below the height of the sunflower flowers and taken from a fanning angle.

It is a Gastronomical delicacies that I personally love, and I can't resist eating the homemade caramel and Traditional Japanese straw raincoat packed tightly. Souvenirs are also recommended to those who are ✨ worried about them At Loro Kurofune, which is a Japanese sweets craftsman but can also make sweets with a Western feel, there are limited sweets unique to the season, and no matter how many times you visit, you will be dazzled. Other, I would also like to recommend "Wasanbon pudding". Also, in the "Kuromona" (you can enjoy the crispy because you add the red bean paste just before eating), which is fun to inject by yourself during the crispiness, the bite-sized cookies are sprinkled with Wasanbon sugar and "Kokoshita" ... 💦 In the store, there are many sweets in the Other (≧▽≦) When you come to Shimoda, please stop by and find the "Lolo Kurofune Sweets"!
