(2024-08-08) Lake Biwa Grand Fireworks Festival Part 5 I've always wanted to take a picture of the "Lake Biwa Grand Fireworks Festival" Held in on August 8 I went on a bullet tour (driven by a friend) Since last year, this fireworks festival has been charged and a fence has been set up. Although it is controversial that it cannot be viewed freely This was a twisted tactic of looking down from the rest area in the Halfway up of Mt. Hiei Of course, this used to be free (the Mt. Hiei skyline that passes through the rest area is a toll road), but in conjunction with the charging of bleachers, fireworks 7,500 yen last year and 10,000 yen this year will be charged for cars parked for viewing purposes (;' ∀') According to the Information on the Internet, there would be no place to put the tripod at noon on the day, so we left quite early I was picked up at 0:00 a.m. and departed. ↓ Arrived at the site around 7:20 ↓ Wait for 12 hours until 19:30 ↓ 19:30~20:30 Appreciation + Photography ↓ 21:00~05:00 The worst 12 hours of my life on-site standby (outdoors under the blazing sun) Bright red on both arms, around the neck, and around the face (;' ∀') With SPF 50 sunscreen, it only lasts a few hours. Even though I tried to secure a good place to go so far By the time we arrived, the best shooting spots were already filled with tripods According to the preliminary survey, it was said that it would be filled with tripods after noon. So we were prepared to give ourselves plenty of time if we arrived after 7 a.m. Completely lagging behind (;' ∀') It was too late ww However, I'm glad that I was in a position where I could shoot without any problems at all if I paid a little attention to the angle of view

Prayer at Kawagoe Hachimangu Shrine today. Hanachozu and yo-yo omikuji. It's my favorite scenery.

A sunflower field that bloomed beautifully

I went to the Festival with my family. Bon dance? Fireworks? No, when it comes to festivals, it's food! It is a photo of my son yellowtail on corn in a straight line without any hesitation.

Summer in Japan, returning to the countryside. Memories of a summer are also an adventure story for children. That thrill and excitement that I experienced when I was a child. I wonder if this is how it will be passed on.

It is a fireworks festival in Kameoka, Kyoto. The couple standing while everyone was sitting and watching. (It's a place where standing room doesn't bother you.)

It is a five-mountain send-off fire in Kyoto. Although it was taken from Arashiyama, there is also a houseboat and there is a Thereare atmosphere.

Speaking of summer, Bathing in the sea. This is Keino pine grove Beaches on Awaji Island. It was so beautiful!

On the way back from the lively summer festival, the number of people gradually decreased. From the nostalgic scenery of the stalls, I felt the loneliness of the lights of the buildings and apartments gradually increasing.

Today, Saturday, August 31, the 2024 Tarumae Sun Festival will be held in as scheduled.

Photographed 8/30/24. It is Hanachozu of Kawagoe Hachimangu Shrine.

Yonaha Maehama Beach on Miyakojima Island 🏖️ It is said to be the most beautiful sea in the East, and it was 🏝️ a really beautiful sea Just looking at it is soothing, but I went into the sea and swam! It is a place 💖 I definitely want to visit again

Fukutoku Shrine is located near Tokyo Station. This is a Power Spot tucked away in a place surrounded by the buildings of a big city. Gari could hear the refreshing colors of summer as I passed by. Many wind chimes brought a moment of coolness.

A photo at the Makuhari Fireworks Festival The fireworks that were launched with the opening signal shone in the still bright sky. The contrast with the sunset and the dark blue sky is beautiful, and it feels summery. I want to use it as a yukata pattern. The fireworks in the night sky are beautiful, but I like the fireworks that shine in the slightly bright sky.
