I took this picture in Karuizawa, Nagano. After walking around Karuizawa the whole day with my cousins, we arrived at this beautiful pond. You have to look closely until you realize it's flipped upside down. I have a lot of great memories from Karuizawa and Nagano, spending time with my relatives. I feel like the beautiful nature of Nagano represents those beautiful memories. When I looked in the pond, I found myself smiling, appreciating the nature and the people I'm with.

Fukuyama Castle It is a museum and it is splendid It was not crowded that day, so I went on the second day. By appointment only. If you don't stop, you will be able to make a reservation. #Travel #Photo Contest

This photo was taken in Ritsurin Park in Takamatsu City.

It is a blue pond in the Biei of Hokkaido. On this day, the weather was nice and the blue color was beautiful.

One shot I wanted to take at "Kusasenrigahama Beach" in Kumamoto

Enjoying the beautiful pre-autumn morning in a traditional way. Over 5 million red spider lily were full bloomed at kinchakuda park in Saitama Prefecture. The place was very crowdy and it was difficult to take a satisfactory shot. As a novice photographer it was very challenging to me. Anyway after attempting several times finally I was satisfied. I think the beautiful red carpet with the spider lily and the traditional umbrella creates a good combination.

A library above the clouds in Yusuhara Town, Kochi Prefecture where we stopped on the way back from Shikoku Karst I stopped by because my wife loves books and thought she would be happy, but I was more impressed and felt that it was a very comfortable place with a large space and the warmth of wood, and local children were studying, and it was a very blessed environment. ?

When I was driving on the Denshō cultivation late-night highway in Suzaki City, Kochi Prefecture, I was worried that this light was beautiful all around, so I got off the highway and took a look. When I looked it up later, I was ? impressed by the sight I saw for the first time in the cultivation of myoga.

Autumn view of Gunma. I was able to go with my friend in the middle of the autumn foliage season! It was a very good vacation to take a dip in the hot spring and play table tennis!

Ogasawara Islands on a graduation trip! View from the ship on the way back. Everyone waved and said goodbye to the island... An island that takes 24 hours each way to arrive. I can't go there often, so it was a very precious time. I want to go there again.

Ogasawara Islands on a graduation trip! The people at the dive shop chased the boat on the way home! Various other boats were chasing me. The dive from the ship was especially impressive, aimed at children leaving the island!

I went to see Manju Shahua! It was very beautiful with red all over the place!

Nishi-Oyama Station is the southernmost point of JR. Double shot with Himawari and Mt. Kaimondake! The sunflower's head was pointing a little over there like a human who was battered by the heat lol.

I went to see the Jomon cedars on Yakushima during summer vacation this year! I started climbing at 4 a.m. and climbed the 10-hour round-trip mountain road to the Jomon cedar! It's an unforgettable memory!

Igumi Kenmin Sun Beach in Shinonsen Town, Hyogo Prefecture This scene looking down from the observatory is beautiful and I haven't been there for a long time and want ? to see it again after a long time.

Water mill ? in Kamikawa, Hyogo

I visit Kamikawa Town in Hyogo Prefecture several times a year, and around May, a water wheel is installed, and you can ? see plum blossom algae nearby.

I was ? impressed when I saw this scene for the first time in the edgeworthia chrysantha colony in Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture. The golden edgeworthia chrysantha shining like fireflies in the dim forest was fantastic and like forest fairies. It is also used as a raw material for banknotes, which is very precious and was truly ? a golden forest.

It is not famous for cherry blossoms that stand like two couples in Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture, but when I was looking for a cherry blossom spot in Shiso City, I happened to come across this cherry blossom and after that, it became a place of relaxation under this cherry tree, and my family ate lunch during the day, and it became our family's cherry ? blossom viewing spot, and I lit it up at night at my favorite place and took ? a picture. Couple's cherry blossoms ? that they want to leave for the future and want to see for years later

Some photos of our trip to Sawara in Chiba Prefecture over the 3 day weekend a couple weeks back. On the way to Sawara we stopped at Chiba Station and had lunch at a place called Common Café. I order a burger not expecting a lot, but it was the best burger I've had in a long time actually. We arrived a bit late in Sawara and were kind of tired so we decided to just go to the hotel, shower and relax for a bit and then have dinner. We had a reservation at a French restaurant called Mougins and it ended up being a really great experience. After eating dinner we were headed back to the hotel and we heard some hayashi and cheering in the distance and we decided to check out what was happening. We found a dashi parading through the streets and they were stopping at different places to pick up alcohol lol. Apparently they'd been doing it every Sunday, I think since corona started. It was pretty cool to see though. The next day we went to check out the Sawara Historical District and after reaching our destination we decided to take a break at a cafe. We ordered a shaved ice and some sort of soda. They were both really delicious, especially the shaved ice. It was some sort of flavor using tea from Kyoto and milk. I forget what it was called exactly though. We also stopped by the former residence of Inoh Tadataka, the famous Japanese cartographer. It was quite interesting seeing where he lived. After visiting his residence, we to the nearby museum and learned about his life and everything he did. I was pretty blown away by how incredible he actually was. I was a bit surprised that I hadn't learned much about him when I was studying the history of Japan, but after visiting the museum I'm convinced he was truly a genius. Unfortunately I couldn’t take pictures inside of the museum, but seeing all of the tools that he used to draw maps and learning how they worked was really interesting. On top of that, the maps he drew were unbelievably accurate. I think it mentioned somewhere that his maps were used until the 1900's, despite being drawn several hundred years prior. His cartography was only one of the endeavors he pursued as well. There were also some documents that explained how he helped his town get through the famine, and also documents detailing how he dealt with local lords imposing taxes on his town. Besides the museum, we also took a boat ride through the canal that ran through the historical district. The canal was quite nice, and you could see the historical buildings that lined the sides of it while going through it. We had to lower the cover on the boat for several bridges as the water level was quite high due to the recent rains, but that just made the experience even more memorable. The tour guide on the boat mentioned how when the canal was used back in the Edo period, it was incredibly busy and boats would have been bumping into each other constantly while passing through. During the boat ride through the canal I noticed some interesting statues on various lanterns and decided to check them out. They all turned out to be interesting and unique. We ended our trip by having a late lunch near the historical district. We had planned to take a train back to Tokyo but missed it by a few minutes. Fortunately, a bus arrived at the perfect time and so we rode that back to Tokyo. It was much better than the crowded trains. Overall it was a really good day-trip style excursion and I definitely recommend it! Managed to find 2 poke lids too!

Over 5 million red spider lily is bloomed here in Kinchakuda park in Hidaka city of Saitama prefecture. The bright colors of this flower attracts the tourist from a long distance apart. Here the one flower bloomed over the top of the red carpet like colors. This flower is very eager to show its beauty to the flower lovers.

[English/Japanese] A 3-minute walk from the school, you can have matcha and nerikiri at Hanano, a cafe specializing in Japanese green tea. This is a wonderful store that is both a boutique and a café. Here, you can even try your hand at making nerikiri (the Japanese confectionery pictured in the photo). International students, especially female students, like to look at the books of wagashi. A Vietnamese student said, "Wagashi changes its design with the seasons, and they are all so beautiful and wonderful. She said. The wagashi in the photo is designed as a "Gamaguchi" purse.

Jigokudani Onsen, Nagano Prefecture I spent 6 hours to see this scene, but I thought that a monkey was always in the hot spring, so I was excited and hugged my daughter and walked along the mountain road, but I was ? shocked that no one was inside. From there, I waited a long time to somehow take a picture of the monkey entering the hot spring, but in a fraction of a second, it didn't ? come in at all.

Pier in Kyotango Kumihama My favorite place ? on the pier I've ever seenI was able to see the planetarium from the pier on a sunny day, and unfortunately it was cloudy on this day, but I was ? impressed to see the light awn through the gap in the clouds early in the morning.

Tateiwa's Milky Way in Kyotango On this day, the wind was quite rough and the shooting equipment fell and it was soaked, but ? it was ? beautiful like a microcosm.

I took this picture because I went to the sea when I went on my last trip! I want to go again!

A scarlet autumn morning in a traditional way at Kinchakuda park in Saitama prefecture. This is most probably the biggest place to see the red spider lilies in Japan. A very vast area turns like a red carpet. This unique flowers and a traditional touch makes the day perfect.
