In the summer garden of my parents' house, morning glories bloomed every year. I thought that was normal, but these days, when condominiums are lined up, I don't see it so much anymore and I even feel lonely. I was delighted to see the morning glory blooming in the park.

Silvama / It is Silvama (Imadomarihama) located in Nakijin Village in the northern part of the main island of Okinawa. It's also called Tomari Beach, but it's Squid where mainly Locals come... The islands on the Horizon are Iheya Island and Izena Island. The people who are sailing are people from other countries. The uncle of the manager here told me ^^ The sea is calm and very comfortable!

This is a photo that captures memories of summer Vacation. Scene of reaching for the mahjong left by Grandpa with the digital camera given to him by his grandmother.

Local eels are hard to eat. Every summer, when I returned to Shizuoka, I used to eat this eel with my parents. But this summer, we couldn't eat eel together. Every day is filled with sadness, but when I see this eel, I remember the summer with my parents and feel energized.

Ōyama Afuri Shrine Autumn Grand Festival From Tuesday, August 27 to Thursday, August 29, 2024, this three-day festival gives thanks for safety on the summer mountain and announces the arrival of autumn on Ōyama, continuing a tradition of more than 150 years. On the final day, the 29th, despite typhoon conditions and rain, the shrine office led the "O-nobori"—carrying a portable shrine bearing Afuri Ōkami up the steep "Otoko-zaka" with a maximum slope of about 30 degrees to the lower shrine.

Speaking of summer, "sunflowers" It is one of the flowers that gives brightness and power to its dignified blooming appearance despite the increasingly hot heat

A Short Journey to Bentenjima: Submarine Volcanoes and Coastal Vegetation In the western and southern parts of the Izu Peninsula, deposits from ancient submarine volcanoes are widely distributed. After a long age of submarine volcanism, the whole of Izu experienced uplift and erosion, exposing volcanic internal structures that would otherwise have remained buried underground. A short walk toward the sea brings you to a small hill called Bentenjima. Originally an island known in antiquity as Kyodai-jima, it became connected to the mainland in 1957 after river mouth engineering works. Walking the roughly 200-meter promenade that circles the islet, you notice the rocky shore is made up of many angular rock fragments. When lava from an underwater eruption flows along the seabed, it cools abruptly in contact with water and shatters into pieces. It resembles what happens when a glass filled with a hot drink is plunged into cold water and cracks. The material formed by this process is called quenched fragmented lava, and it serves as evidence that lava once flowed underwater. A stand of ubamegashi oak naturally growing on the rocks is another highlight of Bentenjima.

Poet Noguchi Ujo visited this area in July of 1930 to give a lecture in the West Izu district. On that occasion, he praised the shape of this mountain in a similar way. The villagers have affectionately passed down the poem, calling it "Tekkobuttakobu no Uta."

Kyodo (Rotating Sutra Repository) This kyodo was erected in Bunka 7 (1810) by the sculptor Hanbee Ishida, who was born in Matsuzaki Town. The rotatable scripture chest has six faces, each fitted with drawers holding a total of sixty books. Each face bears symbols corresponding to the twelve zodiac signs. This rotating style originated in China and came to Japan with Zen Buddhism. It is said that turning this sutra repository once confers the same merit as reciting the entire Buddhist canon.

Shimizuyama Josenji This temple belongs to the Jōdo sect, a branch of Zōjōji, and was founded in 1414 (the 21st year of Ōei). The present buildings are part of an old Jōdo temple rebuilt in 1780 (the 9th year of An'ei). The transom above the main hall features openwork carvings of the Sixteen Arhats, and the rear garden is said to have once been counted among the three famous gardens of Izu from the Edo period. A clear spring wells up beside the temple, giving the place its name. Tokugawa Iemitsu granted the temple a shuin land allotment of ten koku and two to (approximately 10.2 koku), and the temple held rights over forty-five farms in Mukohama.

Kashuizan Jokanji Temple of the Honganji Branch of Jodo Shinshu Founder of the school: Saint Shinran, about 800 years ago Temple founder: Reverend Jōshin, about 700 years ago Established: during the Einin era Revitalized by the thirteenth head priest, Reverend Shokan Although founded in the Einin years, a great fire in Matsuzaki village in the Genroku years spared only the principal image while burning the temple buildings to the ground. After that the temple used a temporary main hall, but it was rebuilt during the Kōka years by Reverend Shokan and has stood since then. The main hall is built in the shishinden style, and the worship beam bears carvings by the renowned Edo-period single-blade woodcarver Hanbee Ishida. Hanbee’s works are few, and the powerful motion of his blade is unmatched. The ceiling and transoms of the inner sanctuary of the main hall are decorated with brightly colored plaster trowel paintings by master craftsman Chōhachi Irie, active from the late Edo period into the early Meiji era. In addition, the revitalizer Reverend Shokan opened a school from the Kansei years onward. Known as the Kashui private school, it produced some 530 pupils and is said to have been the oldest and largest of the many private schools in the prefecture. March, Showa 53 (1978) Recorded by the seventeenth head priest of this temple, Shaku Kōryū

Dance on the Night of Lanterns In Nishiokoppe Village every year, the Bon dance in the Kamiokoppe area takes place on the 14th and the Bon dance in the Nishiokoppe area takes place on the 15th. Some campers and riders come to Nishiokoppe just for these two nights! That makes us very happy. To the beat of the drums, we dance two songs: the children’s Bon dance and the Hokkai Bon Uta. If you dance both fully, it easily runs over an hour. Dancing for such a long time made me realize how much energy it really takes. And the best part of Bon dance is the costumes, right? Who will come in what costume is a mystery until the day itself. Seeing the adults go all out in costume and dance in a circle somehow lifts your spirits. A Bon dance festival for those who dance and those who don’t to enjoy. Thank you to everyone for your hard work! #Nishiokoppe Village #Kamiokoppe #Nishiokoppe #Costumes #Bon Dance Festival #Two Nights in a Row #Food Stalls #Chilly Bon nights #A sense that summer’s end is approaching

Ishibe Terraced Rice Fields Ishibe Terraced Rice Fields lie on the western tip of the Izu Peninsula, ranging from 120 m to 250 m in elevation, and span 4.2 hectares with about 370 rice paddies. Designated as one of Shizuoka Prefecture’s Ten Selected Terraced Rice Fields, these rare stone-walled terraces in eastern Japan overlook Suruga Bay and, on clear days with crisp air, offer views of Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps. In the 1950s and 1960s there were about 1,000 paddies covering some 10 hectares, but most reverted to grassland amid the social changes of Japan’s high-growth era. In 2000 the community began restoring the terraces as a regional treasure, reviving 4.2 hectares. These terraces were originally destroyed by a sudden landslide in the late Edo period during the Bunsei era (the 1820s) and were reclaimed through two decades of arduous work.

I like the whooping red flowers that color every summer. Even though the summer in Japan gets hot every year, this flower that blooms for a long time always blooms vigorously. When I see white, pink, purple, red, and various colors of whooping red, I get excited and energized!

When I returned to my hometown this summer, after visiting the graves, I passed through the elementary school route for decades yellowtail. Everything felt small now, but the smell of summer and the breeze blowing through it did not change, and it was a summer that made me feel nostalgic. 【Shizuoka】
