It's been almost 10 years since I graduated from high school We thought we could be something special, but we reunited and vowed to each other that we would become something again When I was transferred to Tokyo, I happened to reconnect with my high school friends. Even at this age, I want to cherish my friends who can travel regularly for the rest of my life. I smelled mosquito coils for the first time in a long time yellowtail at the Suwa Lake where I was traveling. For those of us who were born and raised in the countryside of Shizuoka, it was a very nostalgic summer.

This is a photo of when I went to Okutama! The waterfall streaming in Nature is one of my favorite pieces because it looks like summer!
