I took a picture of the Tokyo Stop Line in front of the Imperial Palace, Hibiya Street, and Tokyo Station across Uchibori Street from the outer garden of the Imperial Palace. When I took the picture, it was just at the time of the full moon, and it happened to be in the center.

I took a picture of the buildings of Hibiya reflected in the triumphal moat near the Sakurada Gate of the Imperial Palace. The Sakurada Gate and stone walls are also lit up and benches are installed. You can enjoy the scenery slowly.

I took a picture of the moat of the Sakurada Bunker from the Hanzomon gate of the Imperial Palace towards the Sakurada Gate.

It is a nationally designated important cultural property in the Imperial Palace, the former Edo Castle Outer Sakurada Gate. The outer Sakurada Gate is famous for the "Sakurada Gate Outside Incident" of the assassination of Naoya Ii by the ronin of the Mito clan in 1860. This incident was caused by the suppression carried out by the shogunate, the "Great Prison of Ansei". After the incident, the authority of the shogunate was lost, and the Edo period, which lasted 265 years, came to an end.

It was called the Kura no Mimon, but later it came to be called the Wada Kuramon.

It is a Japanese antelope that I met when I went to Okutama Town, Tokyo. He gave me a look at the camera, so I took a picture. The Japanese antelope is a herbivorous mammal endemic to Japan that lives in Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, excluding Hokkaido and the Chugoku region. The scientific name is Capricornis crispus, which belongs to the subfamily Goats of the artiodactyl bovine family. Due to overfishing, the number has decreased, and it was designated as a special natural monument of Japan in Showa 30. From the summer of 2022 to the fall of 2023, I went to Okutama about four times, and I was able to meet two of them, so I think there is a good chance that we will meet.

It is the oldest surviving steel battleship in the world, and you can actually board it and see the inside of the ship at that time.

I took a picture of Nakamise and Hozomon of Sensoji Temple from the Asakusa Tourist Center.

There is also a coffee shop, where you can enjoy the scenery of Asakusa while enjoying soft drinks and alcohol, and there are also snacks, so you can fill your stomach.

I happened to see it on my evening walk, so I took a picture of the crescent moon with the five-storied pagoda of Sensoji Temple, even though it was about two days past the crescent moon.

From Sakurabashi, the cherry blossom festival and houseboats in Sumida Ward took a picture of the Sumida River.
