The Sukugawa River in Nishinomiya, around the time of cherry blossoms.

The Spring Takayama Festival (Sanno Matsuri) is an annual festival of Hie Shrine, the god of the southern half of the former Takayama Castle Town, and is held on April 14 and 15 every year. The Minamoto of the festival is said to have originated during the reign of the feudal lord Kanamori of Hida (1585-1692), and the food stalls are said to have originated around 1718, and the craftsmanship is alive and well, such as the karakuri Dedication that shows off the skillful movements of the puppets and the return car with the gimmick. It was the first time I saw it live, and I had only seen it on the news and videos until now, and I was able to experience a very fresh and fantastic world view, and although my photography skills are still immature, I want to convey the impression of seeing it...

Early April Ueno Park Tsutendo and Ninja Pond There are many shrub cherry blossoms on the promenade surrounding the pond, so it is a good place to take a two-shot with the cherry blossoms. The sun was setting on the way from the park to the temple, and by the time we passed through the temple and came out on the promenade, lights began to light up here and there. While enjoying the illuminated cherry blossoms at night, I turned around for about half a circle, and the scenery unique to the magic hour, which made me feel like an oasis in the city, was reflected in the water mirror. It seemed that an idol was performing live at a nearby stadium, and the cheerful and cute voices of cheerleading echoed through the pond, making people who came and went smile. At the beginning of the evening, it seems that the bustle has only just begun.

At Kenfukuji Temple in Takato-cho, Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, there is a master craftsman in Takato Masonry, by Sadaharu Moriya. The illuminated stone Buddha was artistic, giving the impression that I was watching a museum exhibition, and I couldn't help but say, "It's amazing." The cherry blossoms and autumn leaves are wonderful, but I also liked the nostalgic place with a lot of historical heritage.

Let's look at the beautiful flowers and spend a healthy day. On May 2, in the morning, after work, I stopped by, it was blooming in a nearby park. It is said that the large flowers are grouped together like a maroon, so it was named Oteki. It's a fancy flower name.
