It is a light up of autumn leaves of Baekje Temple in Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture. The autumn leaves in Shiga Prefecture are lit up in various places, but I like this one the most. I thought it was a beautiful place that I still wanted to attract tourists. I often saw Kyorinbo as a photo of the autumn leaves of Shiga last fall, but I would like to tell you that there will be this place in 2023.

"Kobe, rediscovered" The sixth stage of the series will deliver the art port city of Kobe. The large hotel is located on a protruding wharf in the harbor and is moored by various large ships such as luxury liners. I like it best when a sailing ship is docked (Japan Maru in the photo), and the port already has the atmosphere of an overseas resort! The hotel's wave-inspired design is very artistic, and the sailing ship that moves with the power of the wind is truly the ultimate in functional beauty. And in the background, the sunrise of the great nature was painted. At this time of the morning, people are walking and running... I often use Twitter, and when I posted photos of this hotel, I often received replies saying that it was a place of memories. I pray that the city of people, the sky, and the sea will continue to create many memories in the future.

Osaka Umeda / Osaka When I was depressed and lost confidence in myself, I suddenly stopped by Umeda and took this photo. When my dark heart was illuminated by the vivid city lights, and I looked at the skyscrapers and the many people who came and went, I remember feeling once again that my worries and worries were small. If you want to immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the city, please do! I stopped by Umeda to take this photo when I was feeling down and unsure of myself. I remember that my dark heart was lit up by the bright lights of the city, and as I looked at the skyscrapers and the many people passing by, I felt once again that all my worries were trivial If you want to immerse yourself in a unique urban atmosphere, this is the place to be!

Ine Bay Scenery Ine in Kyotango, Kyoto Prefecture Even if there is light pollution at night, Countless stars shine and you can see the Milky Way clearly even with the naked eye, and it is quite a recommended spot to see as if you were in a planetarium, and you can ? see the stars from a hill from the roadside station.

Located on Kobe Rokko Island, the Kobe Fashion Museum is a wonderful fashion-themed museum. It looks unique and resembles the USS Enterprise. The sunset scenery seen from here is very fantastic.

Pancakes of happiness on Awaji Island The pancakes here are so delicious ? under the sea ?

The fifth stage of the series "Kobe, Rediscovered" will deliver the Ferris wheel Wonder Wheel from Kobe Harborland. This very symbolic Ferris wheel was originally opened at a leisure facility called AOIA on Rokko Island, and was in the spotlight as the world's first large Ferris wheel with an illumination function. I had a very strong impression of this time, and I used to look at this Ferris wheel from the mountains with its sparkling in the sea at night. However, the leisure facilities were damaged by the earthquake, and the Ferris wheel was relocated here in Harborland. Now he is completely Lord-like. In the daytime, the Ferris wheel is iridescent with sunlight, and at night, the illuminations of people create an illusion. Harborland is very lively day and night. It is a large Ferris wheel that always accompanies the bustle with flowers.

It's Himeji Castle in summer! ? The collaboration between the castle and the Japanese ship is the view ?? of The Japan It was a great view!

The autumn leaves of Rurikoin Temple in Kyoto Yase are recommended. Located at the foot of Mt. Hiei, a quiet place in Rakuhoku, you can enjoy the vivid autumn leaves in the depths.

Series "Kobe, rediscovered" The fourth stage is the "Silver Knight" who roams the modern city. This is the former settlement of Kobe, which has an exotic atmosphere. In the 25th building, there is a very beautiful knight who stops the eyes of people passing by. This is a show window of a luxury brand store, but is it full-scale? ?? I couldn't help but stop and look at the knight statue. Kobe Settlement is a settlement for foreigners who moved to the trading port of Kobe in the Meiji era. It was once a gorgeous area of Western culture, and today it is a fashion hub with luxury brand stores. The neighborhood is calm and crowded, and there is a very chic atmosphere. I think you can enjoy relaxing shopping or window shopping and fully enjoy your adult time.

At Nijo Castle in Kyoto, it is a clear stream garden lit up. I was drawn into a fantastic world.

【Silver World】 Kiyomizu-dera Temple is one of the most famous temples in Kyoto. I was disappointed that it didn't snow at all in Kyoto this year, but a big cold wave is forecast ...! I was studying for the test and headed for the shoot! !! Location: Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Kyoto Date：2023/01/25

I came to Fukura Port in Minamiawaji City, at the southern tip of Awaji Island. At the roadside station Fukura, you can have a delicious iron fire roll and it's time for the Uzushio cruise. From here onwards is Shikoku.

"Kobe, rediscovered" Today, the third stage of the series, a locomotive "stopped" in the city ... It is a D51 popularly known as Degoichi. This locomotive, which was active in Hokkaido until 1975 (Showa 50), is parked along the JR Kobe Station line (closer to Osaka) due to the wishes of volunteers. The photo was taken this year, but there is an "infinite" plate inside the illumination! !! It is said that this is exactly named after the demon exorcism of Setsubun. It seems that the light up is automatically lit by the light sensor, and when it starts to get dark to some extent, you can see the fantastic infinite locomotive. Everyone was taking pictures on this day as well. There are many people in this area as well, but if you listen to your heart, you may hear the whistle of the night train departing at 17:31:65.

Hotel Okura Kobe's garden. On a day when snow piled up in Kobe, the Japan garden was covered in snow. Hotel Okura Kobe has excellent buildings, rooms, meals, and the service of the staff. I love this hotel, I recommend it.

Fantastic Kinosaki Onsen at your favorite Kinosaki Onsen It's difficult to know when it snows, but I even soaked in the snow and released the shutter. After this, your cold body is also warm ♨️☀️? in the hot spring.

Illumination of Namba Parks, Osaka The scale is small, but the illumination here was ? the most beautiful.

A waterfall in the primeval forest of Wakayama, which is also the highest waterfall in Japan, is a wonderful tourist destination. It was the most anticipated sight of my trip and when I reached it, it didn't disappoint me. The view of Nachi falls, Seigantoji Temple, and the view of spring forest was stunning.

The second stage of the Kobe, Rediscovery series is the story of a cat who lives in a shrine. A crest of chrysanthemum flowers in running water ... This crest, famous as the family crest of the Kusunoki clan, resembles the rising sun from the horizon. This is the Minatogawa Shrine where Kusunoki Masanari is celebrated. At the shrine, three cats were always looking down at the people who came and went from the roof tiles. When I passed through here for the first time in several years, I was still relaxed... Feeling smaller than before? Maybe there has been a generational change. At this time, I photographed one of the two dogs. Relaxing in this way, I was still looking down at the people who came and went. Please visit when you take a walk in Kobe. There are a lot of people on the street, so please be careful not to look too high and bump into it.

This photo was taken in Pontocho, Kyoto. This is a photo I took because I wanted to be a person who would suit this town someday.

This is a photo of the Kamo River taken in Shijo, Kyoto. It is a place of memories that I have visited many times with my grandfather. I would be happy if I could convey the charm of Kyoto even a little.

Awaji Island Oiso, pre-dawn view. Osaka Bay had a very beautiful color.

When you walk around Kobe, you will find many things. I would like to deliver such something that caught my eye as the "Kobe, Rediscovered" series. The first stage is the work of Kobe-born sculptor Hirokazu Ichii. "Rainbow Floating Statue" Sunlight from far away space encountered water droplets on the earth after rain and created rainbow colors. I hope that many such miraculous encounters will be born in Kobe, and that many wonderful rainbows will be cast. It is written. This is a statue that I stopped when I was walking along the center street of Sannomiya. I hope that when you come to Kobe, you will find it. There are a lot of people on the street, so please be careful not to face down too much and bump into it.

In neighboring temples, lotuses are planted in large pots. In summer, large flowers bloom. The lotus position is a beautiful platform on which the Buddha sits... I also love ? this flower, looking up from below

In Umeda, Osaka, I suddenly looked up at the beauty of the Sky Building and clicked the shutter. There are several spots to take beautiful pictures of the Sky Building, and I ran around the station for about 15 minutes when the sunset was shining and found the best position of the day.

These are the Tower of the Sun and Ice Tulips in Osaka Expo Memorial Park.

The Great Buddha Hall Todaiji Temple Nara City. The long Todaiji Temple dyed in the sunset is truly spectacular. Being able to share the unchanged scenery unique to the ancient capital with the people of the past is as if you have stepped back in time.
