Photographed 2/11/25. After Prayer to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, I relaxed at the Starbucks Bell Ring Street store. It is a classic chocolate latte and a pound cake with cookies and chocolate.

When it comes to introducing a country and its vibrant culture to newcomers at the airport, making thoughtful choices about what to showcase is essential because first impressions matter. During my recent trip, I stumbled upon Edo-koji, a charming Edo Market Place in the international terminal at Haneda Airport. The area is adorned with quaint, wooden shops that evoke the spirit of an Edo-era village, complete with a small stage that occasionally features captivating cultural displays. On this visit, I was drawn to a stunning pair of two-folded byōbu (folding screens) featuring an enchanting painting of the Wind God and Thunder God. This remarkable piece, crafted by the renowned Rinpa artist Ogata Kōrin, is a replica of an exquisite work by Tawaraya Sōtatsu, illustrating Raijin, the tempestuous god of lightning and storms, alongside Fūjin, the gentle god of wind. Honestly, what could be cooler than this? It’s a perfect representation of Japan’s rich artistic heritage right at the heart of the airport!

Back to Atami! 🤿 📍 Atami City, Shizuoka Continuing from yesterday, dive into the waters of Atami! 🌊 The inside of the sea changes every day, so you have to go right away so as not to miss the "seasonal" sea! 👍 🔹 Transparency is more than 15m! In the clear blue water, the huge wreck "Asahi 16" with a total length of 81 meters has an overwhelming presence 👏 This wreck lies in the sand at a depth of about 30 meters, and the depth of water on the deck is about 20 meters. The ship was originally carrying gravel and is said to have sunk in 1986. It is one of the largest divable wrecks in Japan, and its sense of scale is impressive! 🚢✨ Parts of the crumbling hull are thrilling 🤩, almost like an adventure movie 🔹 We also dived into the cave point, which is limited to the winter season! On a sunny day, the cave is flooded with light and has a fantastic beauty. There is no doubt that it is a special experience unique to this time of year! And... Two new AOW* divers have been born! 👏🎉 Thank you to 😊 everyone who participated ✨ Limited time cave diving until March! ✨ Atami boat requests, welcome to do so! 🚤💙 ---------------------------------------- *What is Advanced Open Water (AOW)? It is a qualification that allows you to dive deeper than the first Sense OW (Open Water) and in special environments. ----------------------

Ryogenji Temple, which was built as a family temple of Honda Tadakatsu, was opened in the 4th year of Bunroku (1595) by inviting the Ryōgakujin of Shimousa Kogane Tojoji Temple. At first, it was called Ryoshinji, but during the Masatomo Dynasty, it became Ryogenji after Tadakatsu's commandment. 　There are also the graves of Honda Tadakatsu, Mrs. Tadakatsu, and Tadatomo. Tadakatsu and Tadatomo were divided and this tomb was erected.

I went to Zen Rinji Temple (Eikando) in Kyoto. This is one of the pictures I took because I thought that the spiral staircase called Uryu Corridor, the trees growing next to it, and the shadows reflected on the stairs would be a picture.

It's empty because my father's 、、、 died. I am grateful for the fun everyday. But I will live strongly. Thanks to those who support me. Life still goes on, doesn't it?

I blurred the tail lights of the Car Use and took a picture of the cosmos.

It is the sunset over the Kenjima Bridge in Shima, Mie Prefecture. It's hard to see it sink in the middle, so I posted it. There were people on the side, so it may be rare.

Last summer, I went to Onomichi in Hiroshima. The photo was taken while visiting a café attached to a guest House called Miharashi-tei and drinking mandarin orange juice. There are many books in the store, and I thought it was wonderful to see a picture of a customer reading a book in front of a beautiful view.

From the summit of Mt. Omuro in Shizuoka Prefecture. The spread of Mt. Fuji seems to envelop other mountains and cities with their arms wide open. When you stand on the top of the mountain and face Mt. Fuji, you feel as if you are on an equal footing, but Mt. Fuji is a mother, and even a son who wants to stretch himself will eventually feel protected by his mother's hands. An existence that cannot be surpassed, and a warm existence.

It is a sunflower field in Dewa Park in Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture. The Musashino Line passes Soba (buckwheat noodles) right next to it. Trains running toward the Sunrise in the early morning, and sunflowers blooming with all their might toward the Sunrise. In this way, bathed in the Sunrise, the creatures are full of power to do their best today.

It is Mt. Fuji on the Shizuoka Prefecture side in winter. I took this photo from the top of a Takadai tower called Mt. Fuji Dragon Tower in Tagonoura Minato Park. Gari seems to be a bit shy, and it's (^_^;) difficult to find the right time to show your face Betting on a glimmer of hope, a few hours of driving the car. I've been waiting for this moment!! I really like Mt. Fuji without a cloud, but Mt. Fuji, which is a little embarrassed and clouded, is also quite cool. There was a hole in the wall of the tower, so I took a picture in a little frame style.

Sensoji Temple overflowing with inbound tourism The global wave is also surging into the atmospheric scenery of downtown (laughs).

Once every four years, a portable shrine passes through the urban shopping street. While high-rise condominiums are lined up due to redevelopment, I feel very proud that the traditional festival continues. At Tsukishima Nishinaka Shopping Street, Chuo-ku, Tokyo

The view from a mountain temple in Yamagata Prefecture. The view at the end of more than 1,000 steps was spectacular. It was a very quiet and quaint place.

A four-minute walk from Tomakomai Station, Fashion Mail Plaza is displaying around 1,000 hina dolls this year as well🎎 Alongside traditional tiered hina displays, you can see creative dolls reflecting current events, making the exhibit well worth a visit✨ The exhibition is scheduled to remain on display until March 10, so please stop by.

　As some of you may know from newspapers and news, Lake Onneto "Mountain Inn Nonaka Hot Spring", which suffered a fire last month, is currently completely closed. At the entrance to the site, a rope is stretched and a "No Entry" sign is posted. However, unfortunately, trespassing is constant, and some people come to the Hot Spring and enter the Hot Spring without permission. 　Nonaka Hot Spring is currently closed. It seems that false information is also streamed on social media, but please refrain from visiting, including out of interest. Currently, there is no prospect of reconstruction, but we will inform you again when it reopens, so thank you.

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Epoch Festival.

I tried to register. This is a test post. Accompanied by a photo taken on Kashiwa Island in Kochi Prefecture in the summer.

Daikichi and nuts covered with light snow It's like 🐻🍩 a donut sprinkled with powdered sugar Squid are more familiar to the people of Hokkaido? 🐻

This is one of the photos when I went to Kiyomizu Temple. It was very big, beautiful and overwhelming. I was surprised that there were so many foreigners!

This is one of the photos from my trip to Osaka. I'm from Miyagi Prefecture, but I thought the rope entrance was very unusual and cool, so I took a picture. It was also the first time I saw "Don't Touch the Rope" on the platform.

Enjoy the winter sea! Heal with ✨ a neighborhood dive It's close, it's beautiful, it's funny, and it's the best 😄 Only 40 minutes by car from the shop in Hiratsuka! I dived at the neighborhood point "Manazuru / Enoura"! The visibility was 15m, the weather was clear 🌞, and it was 👏 a perfect diving day Diving in the glitter is soothing ✨ I was also able 🤗 to meet the lord of Enoura "Kobudai" It was very powerful! In addition, a commemorative photo with Doraemon is also perfect 📸 Thank you to 🙏 everyone who participated After all, the sea in winter is beautiful and awesome! ---------------------- 😍 Embark on an unforgettable diving trip! 🌊 Let's 🇯🇵🗻 enjoy the beautiful sea of Japan with "Hokule'a Shonan" ⭐️ Experience Diving ⭐️ Snorkeling ⭐️ Sense acquisition ⭐️ Fun Diving We have a program that everyone can enjoy, from beginners to professional divers!
