You can enjoy the deep pink color of the cherry blossom trees of southern Izu, the yellow of the rape blossoms, and the blue of the sky and rivers, which are in full bloom at the end of February. The rows of cherry blossom trees as far as the eye can see are a masterpiece.

The cherry blossoms of southern Izu, which are in full bloom at the end of February, are dark pink and very cute in combination with rape blossoms. There are 800 cherry blossom trees lined with trees on both banks of the Aono River, so you can enjoy it while taking a leisurely stroll. It is not an easy place to get to, such as by bus or private car, but it is recommended because it makes you feel more special.

Shot in Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture. My dream is to take pictures of the snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go, and this is my first time visiting it. Here are the best shots I took while desperately trying to warm up in Cairo in sub-zero temperatures! The electricity in the room where you can feel the activities of people overflows from the window. Streetlights reflecting off the snow. Snow continues to fall. I'm very satisfied to be able to take a photo that looks like it appeared in an old story!

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.
