Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom in the Ishibe Terraced Rice Fields, where the scenery changes with the four seasons

Autumn evening. Climb to the top of the mountain at the end of the cable car. The illuminated autumn leaves beautifully wrap the mountainside, and beyond that, a night view floating in the dark night spreads out. The view was truly spectacular.

When I climbed to the top of Mt. Matsuda, I saw a large panorama overlooking Sagami Bay beyond the contrast between the Kawazu cherry blossoms and rape blossoms.

As we climbed through the sacred air, a wonderful sight awaited us. If you go through this tunnel of autumn leaves, you will find the Saijoji Temple. I prayed for world peace so that this wonderful landscape of autumn would be preserved for the future.

I visited Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which opens before dawn. It was a wonderful scene, with the bright red autumn leaves emerging from the darkness and the sunrise illuminating the cityscape of Kyoto from the mountainside. The scenery of the theater for several hours, which was eventually dyed into the blue sky, was a masterpiece.
