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. The overwhelming presence took my breath away? The contrast between the bright red and the darkness of the night made for a beautiful photo! You can even see the torii gate in the back ⛩️ if you haven't visited it yet!

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.

Series "Kobe, rediscovered" Today, the ninth stage, we will deliver the Port Tower, a symbol of Kobe, which is also called the beauty of the steel tower. Its height is 108 meters, and the hyperboloid tower with a smooth constriction in the center is illuminated to unleash its crimson beauty into the sea, sky, city and mountains. Currently, renovation work is underway, and an open observation facility will be installed on the roof of the highest place. When it is completed, you can expect a night view while blowing in the fragrant sea breeze and a view of the blue sea shining in the sunlight, and I am very much looking forward to it! !! It seems that the reopening will be in the spring of 2024, and it is completely covered now, but after sunset, projection mapping will be projected and you can enjoy the production.

"Kobe, rediscovered" Today, the eighth stage of the series, we will deliver the view from the Kikuseidai of Mt. Maya. In the vicinity of the previous "Kobe Sakura Tunnel", which climbed uphill, there is a Maya Cable station. This cable car and the Maya ropeway further up are called the Maya View Line, and you can reach the top of Mt. Maya by connecting the two. There is an observatory called Kuseidai (本星台), and below you can see a 10 million dollar night view from downtown Kobe to Osaka Bay and the city of Osaka on the opposite bank. The word "scooping up the stars" means "scooping up the stars," and the name comes from the fact that the countless lights of the night view are likened to stars, and you can look down at the stars that you can scoop with your hands. This photo was taken just before dawn, when the eastern sky was beginning to be tinted with sunrise, and I tried to scoop up the stars that fell from the night sky to the ground, but instead I was buried in the stars. The summit is about 700m above sea level and there is a temperature difference from the city, and the air is very fresh! !! On this day, I climbed the driveway, and it seems that you can ride the Maya View Line with a bicycle using a bicycle bag. You can also rent an electric assist bicycle at the top, and you can go to Rokko Ranch.

Kobe Sannomiya Ferry Terminal. You can go to Miyazaki from here, and the view from the observation deck is very nice.

It was lit up at night at Meriken Park in Kobe, and it was ? very beautiful with various lights coming on, disappearing, and changing color. There was a white screen along the way, and there was a beautiful spot where you could shine light and reflect your shadow! (Can you see it?) There was a bar with a vinyl curtain in the back. I was a little disappointed for a minor who was intrigued and approached by what the store in the back was w

I took a night view of UMIE MOSAIC and the Ferris wheel in Harborland, Kobe! Did the light of the night view reflect off the water and take it beautifully? There are many shops where you can enjoy shopping and dining, and it is a place where you will not get bored even if you stay for a long time. There was also an Anpanman Children's Museum nearby, and there were ? many families with cute children.

I went to Meriken Park in Kobe! It is a very large park with children playing badminton and kite flying, and there is also Starbucks, so it is the perfect place to relax! I was finally able ? to take a picture of the famous "BE KOBE" monument lined up, and the weather was clear with a blue sky and it was ? pleasant.

The houses lined up by the sea look as if they are floating on the sea. The first floor housed boats, and the second floor was used as a drying area for nets and fishing gear. I was finally able to go to Ine's boathouse. I enjoyed the slow flow of time in a room without a TV and this view.

Omi Jingu Shrine in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture became a snowy landscape during the big cold wave The red gate was beautiful. Date 2023.01.25

This is Osaka's Namihaya Ohashi Bridge and Osaka's solid stomping slope. Speaking of solid stomping, there is an image of Tottori, but there is also a bridge in Osaka that is worth climbing. There is also a pedestrian walkway where you can see the beautiful night view. I wanted to introduce it as a solid stepping slope that will be talked about next to the Eshima Bridge.

Located in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture, is the daffodil of Tamaso Shrine. Local people started planting it as volunteers. Plum trees are also planted, and it is a wonderful place where you can relax and heal in the chilly season.

Today, in the series "Kobe, Rediscovered", we will deliver the "Cherry Blossom Tunnel" in Nada Ward, a famous place for cherry blossoms, as the seventh stage. The weather has finally passed spring, and the cherry blossom season is approaching again this year. This famous spot in Takao-dori, Nada-ku, Kobe City, is a slope of about 400 meters from north to south, and 70 old Yoshino cherry trees are planted on both sides of the road. This row of cherry blossom trees was planted in the Taisho era at the same time as the opening of the Maya Cable. The appearance is shaped like branches and leaves on both sides covering the road like a tunnel, so I think you can comfortably enjoy the cherry blossom trees if you walk through it leisurely. The photo was taken on April 2 of last year, when it was in full bloom. The petals in the foreground are dyed red by traffic lights (photographing the cherry blossoms at night before dawn) Please note that during the flowering season, there are a little more people passing by, and this is a road that city buses also pass through. At the top of the hill is the Maya Cable station. You can go to the top of Mt. Maya by cable car, so next time I would like to deliver the night view from the Kikuseidai.

Todaiji Temple I visited Nara Park on a family trip. It was my first time to go during the cherry blossom season and I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The collaboration between Nara's wonderful cherry blossoms and deer, which are said to be messengers of the gods, is sacred and seems to reflect the four seasons of Japan even more wonderfully. Nara Park and Todaiji Temple, which show various expressions in each season, are really recommended sightseeing spots.

Ezaki Park on the west coast of Awaji Island. You can see the cityscape of Kobe across the Akashi Strait.

Kyoto Toji Temple They went in search of snow that might or may not fall in the middle of the night and waved it, so I was able to shoot!
