The Suma coast in spring is quiet and beautiful.

This spring, Kobe resumed accepting large international cruise ships for the first time in three years. Acceptance that had been interrupted in the Coronavirus pandemic ... The Seven Seas Explorer, which boasts approximately 55,000 tons of port arrivals, will be at the forefront of the reopening. Docked next to the Kobe Meriken Park Oriental Hotel, it is a majestic but very beautiful cruise ship that overwhelms others. If you get closer, you won't know which is the boat and which is the hotel. There is also a movie theater on board. You want to get on board and travel around the world, but this ship is enough to enjoy just looking at it. If you like huge structures and ships, how about it? The Seven Seas Explorer will depart today, March 12, but will arrive and anchor on March 16~17 and March 30~31, respectively.

I want to visit Ako Misaki in Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture. Before summer, the coast is calm and the sea water is beautiful. On a sunny day, the Harima Sea is sparkling. There are few visitors, and when I sit on the quiet sand and listen to the sound of the waves, the unpleasant things in my heart disappear.

I went to the ruins of Ako Castle in Hyogo Prefecture. It is famous for the 47 Ako Roninshi. It was a very warm and sunny day. The flowers were blooming beautifully.

This is a photo of plum blossoms and falling camellias. The place is Jonangu in Kyoto. February 28th It was a very warm day for a walk. I was happy to see the wonderful scenery.

We visited the Jonan Palace where the drooping plum blossoms were in full bloom. A leisurely trip to Kyoto with my mother, who has reached retirement age. The red and white that seemed to rain down was more beautiful than we could have imagined, and the two of us took many photos. It is a memorable scenery that I would like to visit again next year.

Mii-dera Temple, famous for its Brahma bell, which is said to have been scratched by Musashibo Benkei dragging it to Mt. Hiei, and Lake Biwa Canal, which is connected to Kyoto by a tunnel, are dyed with cherry blossoms in spring. If you walk along the watershed from the Keihan train station, you can reach Miidera in 10 minutes.

In spring, Awaji Hanasajiki Park has a nice color for the rape flower field and blue sky.

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo The view of the cherry blossoms from the first floor of the Hunter House is also recommended ?. Personally, I like the view of the cherry blossoms and the Ferris wheel at the amusement park from the second floor. Maybe it's only now that I see that scene...

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo I look forward ? to going there every year At the Hunter House

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo Favorite composition ? Everyone is photographing the Hunter House from the courtyard of the Hunter House, but that would only be the same photo as if the cherry blossoms did not enter. I dare to shoot with this composition with a telephoto lens from the outside of the fence alone outside the Hunter House. The beautiful cherry blossoms are blooming, so I want to make the venerable building look gorgeous. However, with this composition, the outside fence is captured, so a good telephoto lens is required.

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo Well,? the giraffes here always eat cherry blossoms in spring.

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo The view from the Hunter House I like this scene and it is a place of memories that my parents took me to visit every year with my family, but to be honest, it is very sad because there is a problem with the scenery when a multi-story parking lot can be built in the view from here.

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo A place of childhood memories It is ? very unfortunate and sad that this scene may also be abandoned in the future due to the university attraction issue.

This is a photo taken when I traveled to Kyoto alone in January of this year.

Snow Kifune Shrine. The red lanterns shine against the snow. It takes about 30 minutes to walk along a snowy road from the nearest station, but it is a place you should definitely visit on a snowy day. It is lit up only on snowy days at night, so I would like to go there once.

It is Kiyomizu-dera Temple early in the morning during the autumn foliage season, just after the gate opens. In the dignified atmosphere and clear air, the autumn leaves seen from the stage of Shimizu are a masterpiece.

The sunset in Osaka Bay is beautiful. At the southern end of Tempozan Harbor Village, beyond this is Osaka Bay. It is a popular spot for people who come to see the sunset over Osaka Bay.

It's like a tropical landscape. This is the view from Kobe Airport Island West Ryokuchi. This is a pond built for the purpose of protecting and recuperating sea turtles caught in fish nets. Swimming, fishing, fireworks, and barbecues are prohibited. Watch the planes taking off and landing at Kobe Airport and the sunset, It is a recommended place for those who want to spend a relaxing time.

It is the Goshikizuka Kofun in Kobe. It is the largest anterior and posterior burial mound in Hyogo Prefecture. You can climb to the top of the burial mound, and from there you can see Awaji Island and the Akashi Strait. It is a superb view.

Iwaya Fishing Port, Awaji City, Awaji Island Raft fishing heralds the arrival of spring every year It is decreasing year by year, and the number of squid fish is also decreasing, and the price ? is soaring. In Kansai, cooking squid at home was a custom at this time, but in the past few years, the price has been high and it is no longer eaten at home. I don't see this scene anymore, and this year the ban is lifted on March 4, last year the fishing ended in 3 days, so I want ? to see lively fishing this year.

Yasaka Shrine / Kyoto Yasaka-Shrine / Kyoto This photo was taken on the same day as the photo I posted earlier. I was able to take a beautiful photo with the contrast between the bright red color and the darkness of the night that took ? my breath away at the overwhelming presence! You can also see the torii gate in the back, but ⛩️ if you haven't visited yet, please come on! This photo was taken the same day as the one I posted earlier.

It is Kumano Hongu Taisha Shrine in Wakayama. I visited in the moon of light rain, and the forest behind the large shrine was hazy and majestic and beautiful.

Toji Temple / Kyoto Toji / Kyoto I visited last December. The beautiful Toji Temple was lit up and it was ?? very beautiful. I visited last December. Even just the beautiful Toji Temple was lit up and very beautiful??.

Kyoto's hidden power spot "Kamo Shrine". It is a shrine quietly located in Keihokucho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City.

My today's recommendation: Kurashiki in Okayama Prefecture. Historical canal town kurashiki . Kurashiki Bikan historical area is also known as "town of storehouses" and many of the storehouses are converted into a restaurant/ cafe or museum. Here you can enjoy canal boat riding to feel the old days charm.

It is a wind chime festival of Shojuin in Ujitawara Town, Kyoto Prefecture. There are many wind chime alleys in the precincts, and depending on the season, hydrangeas, sunflowers, and cosmos wind chimes are displayed. It is very cute, the tone is pleasant and soothing. At Shojuin, you can enjoy not only wind chimes but also the windows and ceiling maps of the guest hall all year round.

Kyotango full of attractions It's not a shooting iron, but the Kyotango Railway runs along the Yura River It's always a car, so I wonder what kind of scenery spreads out from the window of this train ... ? I was very worried ? Maizuru, Kyoto Especially from around May, Kyotango is full of sights such as rice planting time and night fireflies.

Yasaka Shrine / Kyoto Yasaka-Shrine / Kyoto I visited around September last year. Unfortunately, it was raining, but it was also wrapped in a fantastic atmosphere! There were almost no tourists at all, and for some reason, it was ? in a chartered state, so why don't you visit it? I visited around September last year. Unfortunately, it was raining, but that didn't stop it from creating a fantastic atmosphere! There were no tourists at all and for some reason we had the place to ourselves ?I highly recommend everyone to visit!

Nabegamori Shrine I visit Shiso City quite often, but this is a place that I have been interested in for a long time, and I was finally able to visit it, and it was difficult to take a self-shoot because it was quite deep in the snow, but it was ? good to see it somehow.
