At Mt. Hachiman in Shichinohe Town, Aomori Prefecture. It seems that this place used to operate under the name of Lavender Village, but now it has gone out of business.

It is said that photography is a once-in-a-lifetime event, but I am really glad that I took it when I could.

The starry sky is also quite beautiful, so it seems good to stay at a hot spring inn and look at the starry sky.

This is the first time I visited Ouchijuku. The night before, the surrounding mountains had its first snow, and the planting in the post town became the first ice. The sky was cloudy, so I arrived a little depressed, but it was early in the morning and there were few people, but the few trees with autumn leaves that remained warmed my feelings. The people of the post town were also very kind, and my desire to support Fukushima became stronger. What I can do now is to convey the charm of Tohoku as much as possible.

I visited Fukushima Prefecture for the first time. Partly due to the effects of the earthquake, many months passed without my mind turning to this area. The first place I visited was the "Tower". It felt like the peak of autumn leaves had passed, but I was reminded that the brilliance of nature does not matter where it is. Once again, don't be defeated by the earthquake! Fukushima Prefecture! It was a time when I felt strongly about it. I will try not to be prejudiced and be confident in the land where I grew up!
