My first trip since my daughter was born! It was a beautiful sea (*^^*)

Todaiji Temple I visited Nara Park on a family trip. It was my first time to go during the cherry blossom season and I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The collaboration between Nara's wonderful cherry blossoms and deer, which are said to be messengers of the gods, is sacred and seems to reflect the four seasons of Japan even more wonderfully. Nara Park and Todaiji Temple, which show various expressions in each season, are really recommended sightseeing spots.

Sapporo Snow Festival The Sapporo Snow Festival was held in earnest for the first time in three years from February 4th. The Odori Park venue is decorated with many snow sculptures, and the Susukino venue is decorated with many ice sculptures. Each is lit up at night, so it is worth seeing. In particular, project mapping is also carried out at the Odori venue.

Ezaki Park on the west coast of Awaji Island. You can see the cityscape of Kobe across the Akashi Strait.

The five-storied pagoda of Ueno park looks very beautiful in every season. Ueno park is one of the most popular spots that hardly need any recommendations yet I want to recommend it because sometimes in a rush we somehow overlook a few things or spots that's why this post. Amid the colorless nature, the red pagoda and flower-printed Japanese umbrella in front of it formed a strangely beautiful scene. Although the pagoda is almost covered in flowers during the sakura season, once on a peony flower exhibition day when I went there I stopped after seeing such a sight.

Kyoto Toji Temple They went in search of snow that might or may not fall in the middle of the night and waved it, so I was able to shoot!

A much less known place in Tokyo. Several tourist and local people usually visit Kama kura to see the great budha but unfortunately many of them don't know this great budha of Tokyo. This great budha of Tokyo is selected as one of the top 100 tourist spot in in new Tokyo. Additionally this is the 3rd largest bronze statue of budha in Japan. This is located in Akatsuka of Itabashi city. Almost no crowd but very well organized place. I highly recommend tourists to visit Tokyo daibutsu during their stay in Tokyo.

Moerenuma Park / Sapporo Moerenuma-Park/Sapporo It is famous for its glass-walled buildings shaped like a triangular pyramid, but I dared to take a picture without showing it.

Oshino Hakkai is a unique spot in the Fuji Five Lakes regional which is also a mount fuji world heritage site having super clear blue water pond. From there you can see a brilliant view of Mt.Fuji between traditional thatched roof buildings, and a slowly rotating water wheel, that will surely give you an old-day charm. Another good thing is this place is looks unique and charming in any season of the year.

It is a light up of autumn leaves of Baekje Temple in Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture. The autumn leaves in Shiga Prefecture are lit up in various places, but I like this one the most. I thought it was a beautiful place that I still wanted to attract tourists. I often saw Kyorinbo as a photo of the autumn leaves of Shiga last fall, but I would like to tell you that there will be this place in 2023.

Ketawakamiya Shrine / Gifu Ketawakamiya-Shrine / Gifu On a trip to Gifu with my family. This shrine is famous for appearing in the movie "Your Name". After passing through this torii gate and climbing a little mountain road, there is a shrine. The air was clear and I had a spiritual experience. And on the way back, I took this photo when I went through this torii gate. I can still remember the green of the mountains and rice fields and the blue of the sky. I was so moved that I can't put it into words. On a trip to Gifu with my family. This shrine is famous for its appearance in the movie "Your Name".
