I visited the temple at night, avoiding the morning crowd. It was cold, but the time was well spent. I enjoyed the atmosphere, which allowed me to think and create different shots. Beautiful city!

[English/Japanese] Mitsuhashi, a shop specializing in kanro natto (sweetened fermented soybeans), is a 15-minute walk from the school. Kanro natto is a Japanese sweet made by simmering beans in molasses and coating them with sugar. Mitsuhashi’s kanro natto is handcrafted with great care and has an elegant flavor. When I mention kanro natto to international students, they all react to the word “natto” and make disgusted faces. Many foreigners dislike natto, but when I explain it properly, they all say they would love to try it. Because many Southeast Asian countries have bean-based sweets, they find kanro natto intriguing. Kanro natto is not sold during midsummer, so if you’re curious, visit before summer arrives. A 15-minute walk from the school brings you to Mitsuhashi, a specialty shop for kanro natto.

When I heard that the peaches were in full bloom, I drove to Nakanojo-cho Gardens in Nakanojo-cho, Gunma Prefecture. Peach and cherry blossoms are in full bloom! Cherry color pink 🍑 color 🌸 The same pink color I tried to take such colors in the name and photo that expresses the individuality of each person.

I saw cherry blossoms at Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden о ́∀'о 🌸 It was a good cherry blossom viewing day. I was healed by the blooming of many flowers other than cherry blossoms.

This photo was taken at World Porters in Yokohama. When I visited Yokohama, the cherry blossoms were just beginning to bloom, but there are many events in spring in Yokohama where you can enjoy the scenery of the sea and the city, especially in spring, you can enjoy the collaboration of cherry blossoms and seasonal flowers and famous places from land to sea, and from the air in the air cabin from all angles. It is a place I want to go all year round, but I recommend it because it has the expression of each season.

Cherry blossoms in 🌸 Asakawa in Hachioji Due to heavy rain the night before, a carpet of cherry blossoms was formed after a lot of dispersion! !️

It was beautiful to visit the Sky Tree. I recommend seeing the Tree from different locations. Also, an excellent opportunity to walk around Tokyo and see different sides of the city!

The Meguro River area. I came by every day for four days to observe and wait for the blossom. The blossom happened down the river, which I didn't venture into. My loss, your gain make sure you walk down the river! :

The day before March 24, cherry blossoms at Tokyo Tower.

〝Kawagoe This is shaved ice〟 Because of the shaved ice of natural ice, it melts in the mouth and does not make the head keen, so it was not cold at all even in this season! !️

At the Kawagoe Castle Honmaru Palace. It was such a nice scenery even though it was cloudy and sometimes rainy!

Because I'm in Kawagoe now. I would like to introduce Kawagoe! !️ If you go for a sleepover, you can see Kawagoe without people at night! You can 🫣 enjoy a completely different space in a space without people than in the daytime.

Rape blossoms along the Edogawa River! I have been visiting every year since I got married, and this is my third time. The first time, when I was not even pregnant. The second time, I took a baby who couldn't even sit alone. This year, which was the third time, I was able to photograph my child who was able to stand on his own two feet. Even next year and beyond, when spring comes, it is a place that I want to visit every year and feel the growth.

Nightshot of Yokohama's playground by the landmark.

24mm. First shot of the tower as I approached it.

One of my favourite moments. Cherry Blossom, surrounded by people enjoying themselves. This is what a festival feels like.

When I walked a little farther on a walk. It was cloudy, but the space 🙆 ♀️ was nice with no people and a pleasant atmosphere.

It's a smartphone shoot, but I took 🌸 a picture of the cherry blossoms in the neighborhood before it scattered. It bloomed early this year.

Speaking of "Aki Sasaki" who was active in Samurai JAPAN ... Chiba Lotte Marines!! At Chiba Port Tower, Sasaki's signed uniform is on display! !️ You love baseball! You want to see the sea and the superb view of Chiba! It's ☺️ also good to go and see the WBC champion now.

At Tokyo Tatemonoen. There are various Japanese and Western buildings such as "Maekawa Kunio House" designed by famous architect Kunio Maekawa! Why don't you go back to the nostalgic times?

of the levee regulating pond ground in Kamisato Town This is Somei Yoshino. Now is the best time to see it.

This photo was taken on a rainy day ☔️ at Jiyu Gakuen Asukan, an important cultural property in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. I took this picture after a miraculous rain because I was happy to see a name that looked like me but was not the same! It was designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright! Why don't you take this opportunity to go see it? ?? #Spring #Photo Contest

It is a Shinkawa in Tsuchiura City, Ibaraki Prefecture that I always go to at this time. It has been raining recently and I was worried that the cherry blossoms would not fall, but I was 🌸 relieved that they were still in full bloom.

[English／日本語] Hachioji had a castle called Katakura Castle 500 years ago. Today, there is no castle, but there is a park that tells the history of the castle. This park is popular among tourists because of its beautiful katakuri (dogtooth violet) flowers in spring. The park is also decorated with statues. The statue in the photo became famous because a kingfisher once perched on its shoulder. Hachioji is not only rich in nature but also home to many historical sites. At school, before visiting such historical places, students take classes to learn about the history of Hachioji. Many students know the word "samurai" but do not know much about the deeper history of the city, so everyone listens intently to the lessons 😊.
