Hofukuji Temple in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture is a famous place for autumn leaves, but the fresh greenery in early summer is also beautiful.

The scenery of the Tonami Plain can only be seen at this time of year. The sunset seen from the Scattered Village Observatory is truly superb.

The five-storied pagoda, the symbol of Kibiji in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture, is also surrounded by very beautiful fresh greenery.

In the morning, beautiful dahlias were blooming in the park I stopped by on my way home from work. When I got closer and looked closely, I saw bees sucking on the petals. I seemed to be intoxicated by the beauty of the flowers and the sweet nectar.

Itsukushima Shrine Five-storied Pagoda / Hiroshima Itsukushima Shrine Five-story Pagoda / Hiroshima A five-storied pagoda located a little deeper in Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its torii gate in the sea. Since it is located in a high place, you can see it from a distance, but when you see it up close, the power will take your breath away. The Senjokaku Pavilion next to it is also a highlight. The five-story pagoda is located in a slightly secluded part of Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its torii gateway in the sea. It can be viewed from a distance due to its elevated location, but when seen up close, the power of the pagoda will take your breath away. Next to the five-story pagoda is the Senjo-kaku, which is also a must-see.

Sekisuikei in Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture When I went to GW, it was very cold, so I want to get revenge for the summer vacation.

A 1-minute walk from the school, there was an Asian food shop above the post office! Vegetables and frozen foods were also sold, and the inside of the store was large and very easy to see. I asked the shopkeeper for their recommended sweets. In the photo is Vietnamese soft candy. This soft candy is made with young glutinous rice. It has a slightly sweet and nostalgic taste. Many international students use such overseas grocery stores when they have just entered the country. Hachioji has many such shops in the city, so it can be said that it is a comfortable city for foreigners to live in.

Went to Fukushima over the Golden Week holiday. On our first day we took a bus to Ouchi-Juku and had a great time looking at all the buildings and different shops. The negi soba (soba with a large leek) is famous there so my girlfriend ended up ordering that. She said it was a bit difficult to eat, but fun and tasted great. We also ended up trying a variety of different snacks in the area. The Age-Manju (deep fried manju) was really tasty and we actually ended up getting again later. I was able to take a photo from the famous photo spot at Ouchi-Juku as well (photo #4). I only have an iPhone camera, so the quality isn't the best, but I'm happy with how it turned out. On the way back from Ouchi-Juku we returned via Yunokami Onsen Station and so we got to use the footbath that was attached to the station. It was a really great way to rest up after walking for so long. The station itself was also really photogenic, so I snapped a couple photos from the platform and between the railroad tracks. The hotel we were staying at for the night was in Aizu-Wakamatsu and on the way we found a nice little shop with a large akabeko cow outside and the staff was kind enough to take a photo of us with it. For dinner, we went to a place called Sassa (左雨) and had a really great time. We ended up talking to the owners for a bit and they were super nice. It was also the best tonkatsu I've eaten in my entire life. It was cooked tp perfection, and the dressing that came with the salad and cabbage matched perfectly with it. We probably ended up eating way too many fried foods but it was all really tasty. The next day we visited Tsuruga Castle. The castle was quite cool, but it was a bit more crowded than Ouchi-Juku. Considering it was Golden Week, it wasn't much of a surprise. Either way we had a great time. We started off going for a boat ride around the moat (I got my daily exercise in, as I was rowing the whole time lol). After that we went up into the castle and were able to see a view of the city from the top which was pretty cool. There were also live performances going on in the field in front of the castle which were fun to watch. At that point it was about lunch time so we went over to the row of food stalls (photo #16) and grabbed a bite to eat. There were shops selling all sorts of goods as well, so we spent some time window shopping. After Tsuruga Castle, we went to Oyakuen Garden (御薬園). We ended up sharing a green tea by the pond and relaxing for a bit which was nice. There were a lot of koi inside the pond and a variety of birds flying around as well, so the atmosphere was very relaxing. Photo #20 is supposedly the best view in the garden (it was written on a sign) so I snapped a photo of it. The photo doesn't do it justice, but it was a really incredible view. All in all, we had a really amazing time in Fukushima, but we definitely would like to visit again, as there's a lot we didn't get to do still. I really wanted to try an akabeko workshop but we didn't get the chance, which was a bit disappointing, but we still had a lot of fun, so I can't complain. I definitely recommend visiting Aizu-Wakamatsu if you have the chance!

Tochigi City was called the commercial capital of the northern Kanto region. It is also known as Little Kyoto. It is also the birthplace of Yuzo Yamamoto, who wrote children's novels such as Roadside Stone. I've always been my favorite author, so I feel a connection to living here. The Uzumagawa River flows through the center of the town, and sightseeing boats also depart. Especially the carp streamers in May are famous. On the morning of May 10, when I stopped by on my way home from work, I found carp streamers still swimming in the May wind. The carp streamers reflected in the water are also wonderful. I felt joy and joy.

While cycling around the ecology park, I saw clusters of Trillium camschatcense. It is a flower that represents Hokkaido, which is also in the package of Rokkatei. Small discoveries are fun when riding a bicycle! We are accepting rental of electric assist bicycles! We look forward to seeing you there.

? Bench along the Kurome River in Niiza City, Saitama Prefecture You can enjoy cherry blossoms in spring, hydrangeas in the rainy season, and slow down thoughts in autumn and winter. smile I was worried about job hunting and used the bench I often used when I went for a walk. When you sit down, you can see the Kurome River in front of you, and it flushes your failures and worries into the water.

"View of the sea" This is a staircase to a foreign house called the former Guggenheim House in Shioya, Tarumi-ku, Kobe City. Kitano is the most important place to say Ijinkan in Kobe, but it seems that old Western-style buildings are scattered everywhere and preserved, and I can't help but think that this scenery is all about why the Western-style building was built here. On the way up the slightly steep stairs from the railroad crossing, you will enter a side street and immediately become the entrance to the Western-style building. Just to the right of me is a large garden of a Western-style building, which overlooks the sea in the same way. Even if you don't enter the Western-style building, I feel nostalgic for the view of the sea from this narrow and steep staircase for some reason, and it is one of my favorite places and often stops. This time it was ? such a "hidden place" staircase where you can suddenly feel the atmosphere of the life of a family who came from a foreign country in the Meiji era.

On a running pilgrimage. No. 76 Kinzoji Temple, No. 77 Dōryūji Temple, No. 78 Ōshōji Temple.

It's ? a beautiful season of fresh greenery. This is a row of white birch trees at Tokachi Ranch. The observatory, which was closed in winter, is also open to the public, and you can enjoy a vast view. I could see ? a cow in the distance.
