Local scenery of Toyama~ White clouds in a blue sky! And blue rice fields! It's very normal, but I think ? it's the calmest, most peaceful and summer~.

During the Obon holidays, avoid crowds and take a walk on nearby Mt. Takao Mt. Takao was selected as the highest three-star tourist destination in the Michelin Guide in 2007, and the number of climbers annually is about 2.6 million, boasting the highest number of climbers in the world. It can be visited in about 1 hour from Tokyo, so it is also popular with foreign tourists. On this day, I passed many foreigners.

The day we couldn't reach the fireworks venue After work, I hurried to the place, but there was no way to reach the place where everyone was waiting due to traffic restrictions, traffic jams, and crowds, so I found a vacancy in the parking lot of the supermarket after closing (naturally full) and telephoto appropriately from the nearby bank. This is the first firework I took outside of my smartphone

Sunflower represents loyalty, adoration. The bright colored flower also symbolise the hapiness. During the hot and humid summer days when it become difficult to survive the sunflower bloomed with gorgeous color and just inspire us to not lose the hope. The beauty of the sunflower becomes more attractive during the sunset time. It looks the rays coming from the sun inspired the sunflower to create this wonderful atmosphere. Although this Kumagaya sunflower field is not so big but it creates a magnificent looks with sunset. I spent a very happy time here in Kumagaya, Saitama.

At Takekoma Shrine. This wind chime was installed on the approach to the precincts. Every time it swayed in the wind, the refreshing tone was pleasant.

Shizuoka Ukusu Shrine I came to photograph the wind chimes, which are a summer tradition. A ray of light hit the wind chime and it was very beautiful, so I released the shutter.

Shizuoka Ukusu Shrine When I turned around, there was a view on the other side of the torii gate that seemed to represent a very beautiful rural summer.

This is one of the photos I took when I went to the sunflower field. It is a place where sunflower bees are gathering, and unfortunately the bees are not in focus, but the purpose of my visit is sunflowers, so I decided that it was good.

Summer is all about cider.

I chose one that makes me feel the summer of Japan, where fireworks shine on the old townscape, and the summer of my nostalgic hometown. The historic "Sushuikyo River Festival Fireworks Festival" rooted in the hometown was held for the first time in three years. Here in Yaotsu, there is the Minato "Kurose Minato" at the top of the Kiso River, which was so busy that it was called "Little Edo" in the Edo period, and the history of fireworks can be traced back to the Edo period. It is still held on the Kiso River as a remnant of the gorgeous days of boat transportation. I am really happy that the fireworks festival, which began as a result of the war memorial and post-war reconstruction by Coronavirus pandemic, continued to be held in a small town while major fireworks festivals continued to be abolished and integrated one after another. In the middle of Coronavirus pandemic, there were tornadoes last year, and disasters continued in Yaotsu, but it is the birthplace of Chiune Sugiura, and the nature of the Kiso River and mountains, and the town is full of charm for delicious foods such as eel and kurikinton. In the future, when the New Maruyama Dam is completed and the surrounding area is maintained, it will be possible to go to the secluded Fukasawa Gorge again. I hope that it will bring back the bustle of the past.
