Shirasaki Marine Park, Wakayama The pure white rock surface is like snow and is truly an art ?

Yokosuka Museum of Art. It is a superb view. Large ships pass by in Tokyo Bay in front of you, and it is fun just to look at them. We had lunch at Aqua Mare, a restaurant in the museum. Very delicious.

In front of the mountain gate of Myohonji Temple. You will be soothed by the dense trees and the chirping of birds. The rickshaw was stopped.

Hokokuji Temple, a bamboo temple in Kamakura. The Michelin Green Guide has three stars. While having matcha, I was enveloped in the silence of the "bamboo garden" looking at it, and a luxurious time flowed.

In front of Akihabara Station at night

Thanks a lot Jin. He has always supported our club.

Travelling become more interesting when you get a chance to look it more closely. During our trip to Kurashiki we heard so many stories of those narrow alleys and traditional houses and at the same time we saw few people roaming there in traditional attire. It was really a treat for eyes as if the history open itself in front of our eyes.

In Hokkaido, there is a place with a railway track at the bottom of a lake, like in Spirited Away. This place is called Lake Shikaribetsu and is a very fantastic place.

Near Tahara Beach, Wakayama If you drive for about 15 minutes in the direction of Mie from the bridge pile rock, you can see the morning mist near Tahara Beach. It depends on the weather, but when I saw this scene, I was fantastic and moved by the fact that the ship was covered in morning fog and it was ? like a scene like Pirates of the Caribbean.

Wakayama Prefecture Bridge Pile Rock I couldn't visit the bridge pile rock that I couldn't visit because I didn't have time on this trip to Wakayama I want ?? to see the starry sky here someday.

"I've never been to a local tourist attraction before," my mother said, and this photo was taken when I traveled to my hometown. The retro advertisement on the ceiling of the theater was very cute. There were many people shooting from directly below the ceiling, but when I looked at it from various angles, the contrast between red and blue was beautiful, so I shot from diagonally below. When I learned that there was such a precious and wonderful building in my hometown, I fell in love with the local area even more. There are not many left this year, but I want to go on a trip with my mother again.

My first sakura tour in Kawazu, Shizuoka ? The sakura trees along the river is just a mesmerizing view ??

It has been my dream to see a line of Sakura trees eversince I was a kid. There are no sakura trees where I grew up, so i only see them on TV. Then in 2017, I had a sakura tour in Kawazu, Shizuoka. ? Kawazuzakura is one of the earliest type of sakura to bloom. This photo was taken in February 2017, and many trees were in full bloom.

Nagaokakyo City, Kyoto Prefecture, Yanagitani Kannon (Yangtani Temple), which is said to be beneficial for healing eye diseases, is a temple with beautiful flower hand water. Each of the four seasons is devised and very splendid. In October, pumpkins were decorated with Halloween motifs. Access is a little inconvenient deep in the mountains, but I would like people from all over the world to experience the actual scenery.

Limestone from Akiyoshidai, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It is a wonder that coral reefs that are tens of thousands of years old have appeared on the surface of the earth. This rock stood crisply and attracted me.

Nijo Station in Kyoto. It is autumn dusk when the people of the home below go home to the night sky and home, respectively.

I still remember going south on Route 1 on a road bike and seeing good weather under the blue sky of Lake ? Sapporo in front of Jozankei! I wanted to take a picture with this scenery and did my best!

One of the most scenic destination where you can enjoy the thrill and peace of mind at the same time. Every turn of the road offers something overwhelming. Kurobe Gorge gave us some great memories one of which is this train ride. The trolley train experience was totally enjoyable. Hope to visit again.

Two mom friends (one still in the belly) cherry blossom viewing excursion. Coronavirus pandemic, I definitely took a selfie and enjoyed cherry blossom viewing!

[Englsih/Japanese] Stopped by Cerian, a confectionary shop a minute's walk from the school, and found the now rare "raccoon dog cake! I didn't hesitate to buy it ?"Tanuki Cake" is a raccoon-shaped cake that became popular about 40 years ago, and it is even said to be an endangered species, as there are fewer and fewer stores making this cake these days. I was very impressed by how carefully the raccoon's face was made. The taste was very sweet, and my fatigue flew away ✨ When I stopped by the pastry shop "Celian", which is a 1-minute walk from the school, I found a rare "raccoon cake"! I bought ? the "Tanuki Cake" without hesitation, which is a raccoon-shaped cake that became popular about 40 years ago, and since there are fewer shops that make this cake these days, it is said to be an endangered species. I was very impressed that the raccoon face was made very carefully. The taste was very sweet and my fatigue flew ✨ away.

Shiohiki salmon is a salmon dish that represents Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture. The ingredients are only selected salmon and natural coarse salt, and are exposed to the cold northwest wind for three weeks, where they slowly dry while fermenting, maturing, and condensing the umami. The scenery of 1,000 salted salmon hanging has become a winter tradition in Murakami. It is a scenery that reminds me every time I taste a salmon dish.

Ashino Park, which has been selected as one of the Japan's "Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots," has the Osamu Dazai Literary Monument, a bronze statue, a monument to the birthplace of the Tsugaru shamisen, and more than 1,500 cherry trees, including Somei Yoshino. Especially near Ashino Koen Station, the Tsugaru Railway runs through a cherry blossom tunnel that spreads out to cover the tracks, and the sight is an unforgettable memory of the trip.

Recently we had some different kind of travel experience during our Niigata tour. We heard about the jade beach of Itoigawa and just for fun went there to enjoy real life treasure hunt experience. The day was sunny and the beautiful stone beach shine bright. Frankly speaking if you stand near the sea shore call colorful pebbles look like expensive stones ? and me and my wife collected a lot of stones regardlessly shape and color. This was our first time jade collecting experience and we knew a few things so we didn't expect to get any. Till we dont know if we have any jade or not but few of our stones looks translucent with bright green color under flash light. We shared one of it. Jade or not, for us it is a priceless stone as we have a lot of happy memories with it.

It is the "Hojo Festival" in Yorii Town held on October 9 of this month. Divided into the Hojo clan and their enemy camps, they fought a battle at Tamayodo River. Cannons and fireworks were also launched, and we were able to see a powerful demonstration.

This is the fireworks festival of the "Izumo Myth Festival" held in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture on 8/28. The Izumo Myth Festival was held for the first time in three years by Coronavirus pandemic, and there were many people watching it on the bank in front of the venue. The fireworks was launched to the performance of the brass band of the local high school, and the sight of people looking up at the fireworks and fireworks was a very beautiful and moving moment. We hope to see a wonderful fireworks again next year.

This is the tram I used to go to Kyoto Arashiyama. I usually live in Kanto and don't see streetcars, so I took a picture from a low angle. The color of the train is also purple, which is a cute and memorable photo.

Shirasaki Marine Park in Wakayama, a nostalgic date spot I visited with my mom before I visited this time too, so I took a selfie until dawnUnfortunately, I couldn't see the Milky Way, but the stars are very beautiful here and the white rock surface is otherworldly and mysterious ??.
