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.

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.

Rape blossoms and a Ferris wheel from Osaka Expo Memorial Park. Rape blossoms at this time of year may be rare ...

1995.1.17。 A day that should not be forgotten as long as you live here. On the day of this disaster, let's prepare once again.

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.

The autumn leaves of Eigenji Temple in Shiga Prefecture are very beautiful, and it is a tourist spot where you can feel the Japan with a calm atmosphere.

Sunrise in Ryuogafuchi, Nara.

Pancakes of happiness on Awaji Island Art outside the store Staircase of happiness?? Of course, the pancakes are very delicious, but there are many people who come for this art work, and they line up 😯 to take pictures here. Awaji Island has entered Pasona and has recently been focusing on art works, and recently art and beauty spots have been created in various places, and the number of tourists from all over the country has increased considerably.

Himeji Castle in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture is famous as a national treasure, but it is also a famous place for cherry blossoms. The collaboration between the castle tower and the cherry blossoms is a superb view.

Kyorinbo in Omihachiman, Shiga Prefecture It is a temple founded by Prince Shotoku in 605 and is a famous place for autumn leaves.

Himeji Castle in Spring About 1,000 cherry trees are a masterpiece

Matabeizakura in Uda City, Nara Prefecture You can see it together with the Milky Way on spring nights

It will be a five-storied pagoda in Toji Temple in Kyoto. The feeling of reflection on the surface of the water and the orange leaves in the shadows were very beautiful. There are many historical buildings in Kyoto, so you can relax.

The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge of the World. Awaji was still a great empire. Awaji's vegetables filled with nature are as good as Hokkaido. When you visit Kansai, be sure to do it once

Sanda Fruit Flower Park My Idol It stood out more than the illumination laughs 😁

Sanda Fruit Flower Park A product I've been interested in for a long time I'm glad 😌 I was able to experience it It was 😀 futuristic, like outer space.

Sanda Fruit Flower Park Fountain Illumination Wrapped 😌 in sparkle

I am looking at the autumn leaves 🍁 from the stage of Kyoto Eikando. It is dyed red, yellow and orange and is beautiful.

It is the gate of Kyoto Nanzenji Temple. Many people go inside to see the beautifully colored autumn leaves 🍁.

The illuminations 😯 of the fruit flower park in Mita, Hyogo Prefecture that I have wanted to go to and see for a long time It was the best illumination I saw with my family in the last year of 2022.

If you go through the Senbon torii gate of Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, you will find the Okusha Fushimi Inari Taisha Okusha Shrine Worship Hall. From there, you will start to proceed to Mt. Inari, past the pine trees that have risen roots, and if you continue for a while, you will find the Kumataka Shrine in front of the middle of Mt. Inari. I bought a candle at the bamboo shop just across the street and made a request to Kumataka Shrine. If you clap twice in front of the new pond in front of the company, the sound will echo from the pond. By the speed at which you can hear the sound, you can tell when your wish will come true. By the way, it seems that if you go in the direction where the sound came, your wish will come true. Kumataka Okami is said to be the god of competition, and it seems that there is a benefit to win the game, so why not come here when you have an important game?
