Summer pilgrimage ⛩️🎐✨ at Kamikawa Shrine The wind was blowing and the sound of the wind chimes was 🥹 very good

Kawakami Gorge Kawakami Gorge lies deep in the mountains of Ogata Town, Bungoono City, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu. The gorge forms the uppermost reaches of the clear Okudake River, flowing from the ridgelines of the Sobo–Katamuki mountain range. The deep green of the forest, the white of large granite boulders, and the water running between them create a striking contrast. Although tucked deep in the mountains, you can enjoy a proper hike or simply walk along the gorge in summer to take in the rich natural forest; it feels cool even in summer. Be careful: the riverbed is slippery. Near Kawakami Gorge is LAMP Bungoono, an accommodation converted from a closed elementary school, where you can also enjoy a Finnish-style sauna. Location: Obeira Mine, Ogata Town, Bungoono City It is about a 50-minute drive from the center of Ogata Town, Bungoono City.

Fukuoka Prefecture may not be on the typical tourist route, but it harbors countless hidden gems, and Nanzoin Temple is undeniably one of the most noteworthy. It claims to house the world's largest bronze reclining Buddha statue, which exudes tranquility under the vast blue sky. Despite visiting numerous places, it holds a special place in my heart, infusing me with positivity and making it one of my favorite summer destinations.

I went to Nikobuchi in Kochi Prefecture It was a powerful waterfall and the water was crystal clear and very beautiful

We went to Sumiyoshi fireworks in Onomichi.

I went to see the Sumiyoshi fireworks in Onomichi. There were so many people that it was hard to find a good place, but it was very beautiful.

(4/4) I went to Aira City, Kagoshima Prefecture Prefecture "Itaide Falls" for the first time. You can go down to the riverside that streams from the Waterfall basin, so I was able to enjoy looking into the water and looking directly at the Waterfall basin. Especially here (maybe because it's summer?) There were many creatures, and there was an insect called tiger beetle (*) more than other Valleys and waterfalls. Water stampedes, medaka, crabs, dragonflies unique to the water, etc., were lively and energizing. *... When you look at it up close, it sparkles in various colors and is beautiful, but as soon as you get close, it flies 2 to 3 meters away and you can't see it seriously. And since they usually fly in the same direction as their walking, they often unintentionally look like Squid.

(3/4) I went to Aira City, Kagoshima Prefecture Prefecture "Itaide Falls" for the first time. The first is a path of trees that leads in the opposite direction to the waterfall. I didn't know if it was big by the water or the shade of the trees, but it was a strangely cool path. Thereare a short walk down to the riverside. Gari gets excited when you find a staircase like this and know that you can go down to the riverside.

(2/4) I went to Aira City, Kagoshima Prefecture Prefecture "Itaide Falls" for the first time. After crossing the Kanayama Bridge and walking in the opposite direction from the waterfall, there was a walkway and through the waterway and trees. Somehow, I like waterways, and whenever I see them, I always look into them. There was a large mossy tree stretching out its branches in the waterway here, and it was a scenery that was more exciting than the waterfall with a personal point.

(1/4) I went to Aira City, Kagoshima Prefecture Prefecture "Itaide Falls" for the first time. Unlike the waterfalls in the rough Valleys, the area around the Waterfall basin is Maintenance with good salt Ume plums, and there is a park-like atmosphere while the waterfall is worth seeing. The waterfall stream like a proper waterfall after the artificial stream at the back of the Maintenance, and I and a feeling that it might be like this Quercus serrata. Spot is strong to be able to enjoy the comfort of being surrounded by the greenery of Nature and the proper waterfall from the Car parking lot right next to it.

August 15, 2024 Lake Suwa Festival Lake Fireworks On this day, Suwa City held its major event, the Lake Suwa Festival Lake Fireworks. Despite the emergency Nankai Trough earthquake bulletin warning of a major quake, the event went ahead thanks to the many precautions taken by the Lake Suwa Festival Executive Committee. This fireworks festival began on August 15, 1949, when citizens, amid the postwar confusion, wanted to hold a summer evening fireworks display at Lake Suwa to bring hope and help the city recover as quickly as possible. This year marks the 76th edition. It is a very historic fireworks festival. 🎇 At Suwa, the fireworks are launched from an island called Hatsu-shima, and the show is a true lake display. Because Lake Suwa sits at the center of the Suwa Basin and is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the sound of the bursting fireworks echoes off the lake and surrounding peaks, turning the landscape into a gigantic natural speaker that vibrates to your very core. The result is an overwhelmingly powerful fireworks experience. This is a rare geographic setting for a fireworks festival. The event website even describes the sound as “Don! Zun! Ban!” and that onomatopoeia is the most accurate description. A local Lake Suwa fireworks quirk is that when a very large firework explodes, the volume and shock often trigger car security buzzers. Locals just laugh and say, “Again, huh?” On the day, it rained twice in the afternoon, but the rain stopped before the opening and we enjoyed a beautiful fireworks display. Before guests left, many gave us warm words like “Thank you!” and “Good job!”—those kind messages blew away the day’s fatigue. Thank you very much! We look forward to seeing you next year, so please come and join us!!! ※ Filming assistance: Lake Suwa Festival Executive Committee August 15, 2024 At Lake Suwa 76th Lake Suwa Fireworks Festival!!! This fireworks festival began in 1949. After World War II, many Japanese people were worn out by the war and needed hope and a way to recover. The festival started for that reason and has been held since 1949. This year was the 76th. How amazing it is!!! Recently, however, we received Nankai Trough earthquake warnings, so we had to be extremely careful about safety. Our fireworks are launched from the lake. The unique feature of Lake Suwa is that the lake is surrounded by mountains. That is the key. Because of this, the sound of the fireworks is exceptionally loud—you feel it in your whole body. If you compare fireworks of the same size at Lake Suwa and elsewhere, you will say the Lake Suwa fireworks are much louder. I promise!!! The surrounding landscape acts like a huge speaker, so you can both hear and feel the sound intensely. This phenomenon is unique to Lake Suwa and is truly exceptional. The morning was sunny, but it rained twice in the afternoon. Just before the festival, the weather cleared and we were able to hold a wonderful event. Thank you so much!!! There are no same-day tickets, so please buy advance tickets online before coming to Suwa next year. We will be waiting for you!!!
