✨ Pure joy beneath the summer night sky 🌌🎆
The Tateyama Fireworks Festival in Chiba was absolutely magical — even more spectacular this year!
The highlight? Definitely the underwater fireworks 🌊💫 — shimmering bursts that danced across the sea’s surface like something out of a dream.

My favorite moment was watching the golden willow-shaped fireworks drift gently down, like glowing branches swaying in the breeze… truly breathtaking.

And of course, no festival is complete without tasty treats — the butter-fried potatoes were crispy, golden, and totally addictive 🥔😋

Huge thanks to the amazing staff and organizers for making this unforgettable night possible. Already counting down the days until next year!

✨ Feeling 🌌🎆 pure joy under the summer night sky
The Tateyama Fireworks Festival in Chiba Prefecture was a truly magical experience. This year was even grander than every year!
The highlight was definitely the Underwater Fireworks — the fireworks 🌊💫 that glowed like dancing on the surface of the sea were like a dream.

I was particularly impressed by the moment when the golden willow-shaped fireworks slowly descended like branches swaying in the wind... It was truly breathtaking.

And, of course, the Festival also requires delicious stall gourmet. Butter fried potatoes were crunchy, golden brown, and addictively delicious 🥔😋

Held in next year, thanks to the wonderful staff and management!

🗓️ Held in every year on August 8 — a summer tradition in Japan!

✨ 夏夜星空下的純粹喜悅 🌌🎆
千葉Tateyama的fireworks大會真是如夢似幻,年比以往更加壯觀!
當晚的重點? 絕對是海面上的Water中煙火 🌊💫 — 閃爍的火花在海面舞動,彷彿夢境般美麗。

我最喜歡的時間是看到金色柳枝形狀的煙火緩緩飄落,像是閃耀的枝條隨風搖曳...... 真是令人屏息的美景。

當然,祭典怎能少了美味的小吃? 奶油炸馬鈴薯外酥內嫩,令人一吃就停不下來 🥔😋

非常感謝所有工作人員和主辦單位,讓這難忘的夜晚成真。 已經迫不及待expect明年的fireworks大會了!

📍 Chiba Tateyama | Tateyama Wan Fireworks
🗓️ 每年8月8日舉辦 — Japan夏季必看的傳統盛事

The deep green of Usa Jingu Shrine, which symbolizes "summer in Japan". In the sunlight shining through the trees, I captured the moment when my father passed through the vermilion Torii (shrine gate). This Torii (shrine gate) is the boundary between the sacred and the mundane, a symbol of purification and vitality.  

Usa Jingu Shrine, the Main Shrine of the Hachiman faith, is a sacred place where my ancestors, the Karashima clan, especially Katsuotome Karashima, were deeply involved in its founding. The image of the father passing through the Torii (shrine gate) gate symbolizes the way in which the lineage and faith are passed down from generation to generation, following in the footsteps of distant ancestors.  

This trip was a powerful and healing experience for me, like a large tree taking root in my heart. I was touched by the vitality of Usa Jingu Shrine in summer and the history of my ancestors, and I realized that my Roux is deeply rooted in this Great Earth. This is more than just a summer scene, it is a piece that conveys an ancient bond and inner peace.

🌊 Echizen Coast 🌊
Echizen Coast is recommended for driving.
In the Kono area of Minami-Echizen Town, you can also enjoy the Sunset as it sets over the horizon.
Please come and drive on the weekend ☆

On the stage of the red shrine,
The dancers danced slowly to the music.
The fan shimmered in the light,
It's like jumping the story into the night,
Telling tradition with steps, condensing a moment of eternity between light and shadow.

Take a boat ride at night. I took a picture in a place where the buildings of Tokyo and the Sky Tree are located.　　Each light was cool in the dark.

The sandy beach of Odaiba in summer. I found a parent and child enjoying themselves near the water and asked them to let me take a picture.

Go to Shikoku by Tsar. The second day was Awa Odori in Tokushima. The bleachers were in the back, so I asked a Local at the front to let me take a picture for a while. The yukata was cool and I felt the power of the dance.

I don't think the hand-held fireworks in Niimachi, Shizuoka Prefecture in July are as famous as Toyohashi, but you can get close to the stage and feel the realism and power.
I arrived around noon, secured a place, and took a picture at the position of the spark thread.

I took a picture of the stream under Karuizawa's "Shiraito Falls" with abundant water and dazzling green fern leaves.

Light up inside the Tokyo Tower Observation decks in summer, and I felt that it was very cool when combined with the lights of the building outside the window.

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.

It is covered with Ume plum syrup and seems to ward off evil.

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.

❚ What is the Sugao Stone Buddha Fire Festival?
Held in by local people to revitalize the region and let people know about Sugao Magaibutsu.
The "Croaching Contest" is named after a local legend. Legend has it that a demon who lived in this area and misbehaved said, "Give me the daughter of the Village as my wife!", and when the troubled Village chief consulted the monk, the monk told the demon, "If you carve five stone Buddhas on the Quay in one night, I will give you my daughter as my wife, but if you can't, leave the village." It is said that when the worried Village went to see it in the middle of the night, the demon carved the fifth one, so when the Village mimic the croaking master of the chicken imitated it, the demon mistakenly thought that morning had come and ran away.
