\New Year, First Sunset 🌅/ In 2025, Echizen Town will have a cloudy sky and occasional sunny days! Compared to being buried in snow or having a blizzard, it was a day that was easier to Prayer First Pilgrimage to the Shrine, wasn't it? In the Sea of Sea of Japan, where the sun sets over the sea, there is a wonderful glow through the clouds. Are you lucky to see the sun set on the Horizon early in the new year? Good luck to you.

New Year's Day 2025 at 6:30 a.m. Two cats warm each other in the cold of midwinter on the riverbank in the early morning, which is not popular. It is as if the body is dressed in pure white snow, and a quiet and peaceful time stream endlessly. Wonderful to welcome the new year Photographed two happy times a day.

The Seijoshin-in Temple on Mt. Koya, a World Cultural Heritage Site, and the snowy scenery in winter are also good, but I would like you to visit it during the Spring cherry blossom (umbrella cherry blossom) blooming season.

Happy New Year This year, too, I photographed the First sunrise from the Shinsui Park on the Coast of Atami. This year, it wasn't so cold, there was no wind, and the conditions were perfect! We waited at the third construction zone before 6:00, and the Horizon began to turn orange around 6:15, and the light began to shine after 6:50. There was a tree a little underneath, so I hurriedly moved to the second construction zone and took a picture here as well. It was a very beautiful First sunrise. As in every year, many citizens and tourists gathered at Shinsui Park early on to photograph the First sunrise of 2025 (Reiwa 7). May 2025 (Reiwa 7) be a better year for everyone Thank you for your continued support of Atami Hot Spring this year

Samurai-specific Osaka Castle Guides Private tours in armor Photo [Osaka Castle] -Famous castles that mark the history of prosperity and turmoil of the people of Samurai- Pilgrimage tour guide to the sacred places of Osaka no Jin wearing armor and helmetsThis is a plan to commemorate and make a pilgrimage to the sad sacred place where SAMURAI and his friends were defeated in the Osaka Siege in the last war and fell to the castle, wearing armor and helmets reminiscent of the battle. #OsakaCastle #Samuraiarmor

The practice of swordsmanship was intended above all to nurture the mind. The samurai, through diligent practice and extreme concentration, desired to attain a state of unthoughtfulness, free of attachment or preoccupation, and thus able to respond instantly. A warrior is prepared to die each morning. In the quiet moments of the morning, he imagines himself being struck by lightning, doused by fire, or cut to pieces with a sword or spear. It is hard to remember that one step outside the doorway is the world of death. #Honor #Bushido #samuraisword #katana
