”穴場”と言われれば、埼玉県比企郡吉見町にある『百穴（ひゃくあな）』。古墳時代のお墓です。戦時中に掘られた地下工場跡も見ることができます。すきな人は、たまらないんだろうなぁ と、思います。

Sajima. I learned about it from someone who has lived in Yokosuka for a long time and decided to visit. What awaited me was a magnificent yet somewhat rustic view. I could see Mount Fuji in the distance, and the sea was beautiful. It’s a lovely place with few people, like a hidden gem. I charged my energy from nature!

"We are all connected!" The wrapped train of the Akita Nairiku Line seems to echo Shinnosuke's voice. Father's hometown, Akita; mother's Kumamoto; and now living in Saitama— the lands of our family are depicted on a single train car. "The tracks and the bonds are connected straight, aren't they?" After a long time, my heart warmed with nostalgia, and I pointed my camera. Why not come visit "Akita" on the Akita Nairiku Line?

It's an oat milk latte and New York cheesecake. June 15th was said to be an auspicious day with both a lucky day and a new moon coinciding. 🌑 I was happy to receive compliments on my hairstyle, making it a delightful day. Thank you! 🥰

Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, this is the windmill in front of the Otorii Gate. It features yellow and orange. Speaking of orange (Oranje), it seems to be the nickname for the Netherlands national team.

Today, I visited Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine. I was curious about the Japan vs. Netherlands match.

From the summit of Mount Wagakuni, a breathtaking morning scene unfolds over Ibaraki. A sea of clouds completely blankets the towns below, creating a dreamlike landscape where the mountains appear to float above the sky. But if you look closely at the far right of the frame, you might notice a giant figure standing quietly above the clouds — and if I’m not mistaken, that silhouette is the famous Ushiku Daibutsu, watching over the horizon from afar. This is a hidden gem. Very few people know about this place. After I saw it I was astonished. Highly recommended hidden gem.

Currently, Kyonan Town is selling loquats at roadside stations and fruit stores. The loquats from the Minami Boso Area are large, sweet, and delicious. We hope many people will get to taste these loquats. The photo shows Nagashimaya, a fruit store in the Katsuyama Area of Kyonan Town. Today, we welcomed many tourists.
