Shot at Matama Beach in Oita Prefecture. Speaking of "Salar de Uyuni in Japan", the Chichibugahama Beach in Kagawa Prefecture is famous, but in fact, there is also a Salar de Uyuni in Oita Prefecture! That is the Madama Coast. The perfect sunset color and the reflection of the silhouette of the people were beautiful and I fell in love with the scenery.

It is time to light up Shirakawa-go.

This is a photo of Shirakawa-go.

Kyotango full of attractions It's not a shooting iron, but the Kyotango Railway runs along the Yura River It's always a car, so I wonder what kind of scenery spreads out from the window of this train ... ? I was very worried ? Maizuru, Kyoto Especially from around May, Kyotango is full of sights such as rice planting time and night fireflies.

This is a photo of Shirakawa-go when it is lit up. It was clear and I was able to take a beautiful picture of the sky.

My today's recommendation is Hakone. From where one can see several things, like lake ashi, mount fuji, owakudani volcano and many more. But I thing the best part is ridding the pirate ship over the lake ashi and enjoy the breath taking view of mount Fuji from the lake and also the view of Heiwa no torii. This red color torii gate is very famous tourist spot in Hakone.

This photo is taken when I went to Odaiba (Toyosu). It was the most beautiful photo I took when I went to Odaiba.

Yasaka Shrine / Kyoto Yasaka-Shrine / Kyoto I visited around September last year. Unfortunately, it was raining, but it was also wrapped in a fantastic atmosphere! There were almost no tourists at all, and for some reason, it was ? in a chartered state, so why don't you visit it? I visited around September last year. Unfortunately, it was raining, but that didn't stop it from creating a fantastic atmosphere! There were no tourists at all and for some reason we had the place to ourselves ?I highly recommend everyone to visit!

I think about 70% of foreign tourists Jigokudani Monkey Park is such a popular spot. It is a good photo spot no matter how many times you go, so it is a highly recommended place. Especially when a baby monkey comes close, I just want to take a picture.

[English/Japanese] The other day I had lunch at Hokkaido Soup Curry Workshop Seven West, a 3-minute walk from Nishi-Hachioji Station. I chose the sweet curry, but it was quite spicy and I could taste a variety of spices. The chicken on the bone, which was cooked so well that it fell apart when touched with chopsticks, was the best part. Most of the students enrolled in our school are from Southeast Asia. Almost all of them have "curry" in their countries. When I show the students how to make Japanese home-style curry, they are surprised at how different it is from their own country. And they are even more surprised when they learn that there is another type of curry in the same country, Hokkaido Curry! The other day, I had lunch at "Hokkaido Soup Curry Kobo Seven West", which is a 3-minute walk from Nishi Hachioji Station. I chose the curry sweet, but it was quite spicy and very tasty with various spices. The bone-in chicken that was so stewed that it crumbled just by touching it with chopsticks was the best. Most of our students are from Southeast Asia. In most countries there is "curry". When I teach my students how to make Japan's homely curry, they are amazed at the difference from their own country. Also, I am even more surprised to learn that there is a type of Hokkaido curry even in the same Japan!

Nabegamori Shrine I visit Shiso City quite often, but this is a place that I have been interested in for a long time, and I was finally able to visit it, and it was difficult to take a self-shoot because it was quite deep in the snow, but it was ? good to see it somehow.
