After prayer to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, I relaxed at the Starbucks Bell Ring Street store. Chillax soda muscat and blueberry cream cheese donuts. 🍇🫐

A very large passenger ship was moored at Osanbashi in Yokohama. It seems that many of the passengers were white. Is it a ship from the United States or somewhere? On the hull we could see Celebrity X Cruises and a large logo. Squid, it was a celebrity atmosphere. The blue and white hull is a very summery picture.

When I went to Yokohama, I happened to see a large passenger ship moored in Osanbashi, and I came across it as it was about to sail, so after a while, I saw a big rainbow at Bay Yellowtail, so I took a picture of it. It was a rainbow that looked like it was stuck in the clouds, but when I looked closely, I could see the rainbow of Japan. I think it turned out to be a summery piece.

A shishimai lion dance visited the Tomakomai Tourist Information Center!! Even after getting his head nipped, Tomakomai’s official mascot Tomachop stayed cool and unfazed (lol). This is sure to bring good fortune✨
