Visited Fujiiya a small eatery in Kameido famous for its gyoza. It was definitely good, and they had an interesting tare for the gyoza as well. I think it had chashu inside of it and it tasted great. I threw in a little soy sauce as well but I think it's probably perfect without it. I recommend shaking the bottle before pouring it as I had a little too much oil come out instead of the actual sauce. It was also my first time getting shoyu ramen in a while. I'm usually a bigger fan of miso, probably because it feels warm and filling on cold days but is great on hot days too. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised by this shoyu ramen, was a really refreshing flavor and the noodles were perfect. The restaurant is really cheap too, I think a normal chashu ramen and 5-piece gyoza was just ¥780, which is super cheap. They also had a lot of cool photos and signatures on the wall from/with famous entertainers like "Downtown," etc. Cool place, definitely recommend it!

This is the view I saw on an autumn morning at Shibu Onsen in Nagano Prefecture. The intricately overlapping paths and the morning light were three-dimensional and beautiful.

Early morning near rice harvest

Some photos I took during my visit to the Edo-Tokyo Museum. I really enjoyed seeing the recreations of the Edo cityscape and seeing what the city would have looked like back in the day. I like that you can also get a feel for what life was like at that time and you can even see people doing various jobs or holding tools related to them. I enjoyed seeing the boats as well, as it showed how shipping would been carried out at the time, and you also get to see the architecture of the ships, which was really awesome in my honest opinion. I also tried getting a decent photo of Tokugawa Ieyasu but I was really short on time when visiting as the museum was about to close, so I definitely need to go back there again. I wanted to see some of the other exhibits as well, stuff like the Great Kanto Earthquake exhibits, etc. so I have an excuse to visit again lol.

It was a lively park, but when the light of the setting sun came in, the scenery was so wide that everyone stopped and looked at it.

Autumn of Japan With buckwheat flowers The red bokeh in the back is Higanbana

I found it when I went for a walk a little farther It looked white in the foreground and shinier in the back.

The famous moon of mid-autumn was marked by a full moon for the first time in eight years. To the moon that emerged from the clouds Offering autumn fruits and handmade moon dumplings. With cat playfulness instead of pampas grass Small and cute moon viewing party ♡

Higanbana with the onset of autumn When it comes to autumn, we tend to focus on the autumn leaves, but higanbana also tells us the beginning of autumn. The whole area was higan flowers, and it was red as if there was a red carpet on it. This photo was taken at Miyakuyama Natural Forest Park in Gunma Prefecture. It was just evening, and I was able to take the picture at a good time when the red shines well with the gentle yellowish light.

Autumn of Japan Kibana cosmos and dragonflies

I photographed Tokyo Station from near the Kikyomon gate in the outer garden of the Imperial Palace.

Went canoeing in Hagure, Saitama and I managed to turn red thanks to a nice sunburn. Was super tired the next day after a ton of canoeing but still managed to get a good amount of sightseeing done in Gyoda. Visited Oshi Castle (忍城) and the nearby museum, bought some tabi shoes from a shop that’s been in business for more than 100 years (創作足袋千代の松), stopped by a couple of shrines and enjoyed some of Japan’s scenic beauty. Had a total blast, and one of the locals even gave us some incense as a gift for visiting Gyoda!

I went to Gyoda, where my favorite drama Rikuo was filmed! I found a winning insect pattern at a tabi shop! I was just so excited ?.

In September, summer is over, and autumn is about to come, this "higanbana" that blooms just at the turn of the season. When I see them blooming every year, I feel lonely at the end of summer, and I think that it is autumn from now on. This photo was taken at Sakai Ontake Natural Forest Park in Gunma Prefecture. It was just sparkling with sunlight filtering through the trees in the crowds, so I tried to emphasize the glitter.

Went to a nearby waterfront park area and saw some yakatabune and other nice views. Got some nice fresh air together and even saw someone catch a fish. It looked like a pretty decent size fish too, but I couldn’t take a photo of it. We realized the planters on the way back were shaped like small boats so I took a photo of one. Thought it was kind of neat
