"Summer wake watched over by Torii (shrine gate)" I wake up at 5 a.m. and rub my blurry eyes to see if I'm going for a walk. On the road in front of my house, I hear the sound of a motorcycle passing by with a roaring sound. At that moment Squid inside me – my soul echoes hotly. It's been about a year since I got my license. Make your favorite Super Cub 50-chan your buddy I've been to a lot of places. On this day I make a decision. The highest mileage in the past I'm going to repaint it. The best record was about 90 km to Chichibu But that's not enough. Go beyond your past self. Sightseeing spot with enthusiasm and excitement on the spot. According to GPT, it is about 120 km away. It seems that there is a Famous Sightseeing spot called Lake Ashi. Squid, isn't it? Because he is a high school student who has no friendships, Alone with emptiness, I hold the steering wheel. While panting in the blazing summer sun Finally, you arrive at your destination. The time is 11 a.m. The Hakone Shrine, which was crowded with tourists, It seems to be Famous for its Power spot. While witnessing the huge Torii (shrine gate), Squid somewhere good photo spot Carry the legs. The photo Spot I finally found is It was like an embankment of a fishing spot. When I hold the Z FC-chan that I recently bought and look for a subject It's reminiscent of a wonderfully squishy summer My eyes are attracted to the clouds. While putting a big Torii (shrine gate) as the subject of this When the shutter is pressed, A ship reminiscent of a pirate ship comes to us from the back. Finding the best position, this is the place to be This photo was taken at the right time. Feeling lonely, with Lake Ashi in the background On the way home. Return, because there was a sea nearby I stopped there. Sandy beaches and the sea as far as the eye can see. One set of families, I was playing with the sea. This is quite a hidden gem, and there are few people Overlooking the sandy beach. However, the temperature on this day was 37 degrees. In the midst of the hot gaze of Tendou-sama in the middle of summer I wonder if the desire for sea water will disappear. Held in the winning championship for the person who finds the roundest stone possible. I was the only participant, so I had a bye. You don't notice the waves that are approaching your feet crazy, and your shoes are waves I was drenched. Souvenirs of cobblestones and finally return home. The huge road is very congested. While wrestling with tiredness and drowsiness Finally to the end point. Aroma of the sea and sweat when I took off my shoes.

Photo taken at the Toyota Oiden Fireworks Festival. When I think of summer in Japan, I immediately associate it with fireworks. When I captured these fireworks on camera, I felt something special and artistic, different from the fireworks I had seen before.

Impression of the efforts and sense of the fireworks master so far.

Fun and Camping at Forest Park! Three Days During Obon At Forest Park, to mark the 100th anniversary of the village opening we ran an "Everything 100 Yen" campaign! Camping was 100 yen per night and every playground ride cost 100 yen per go! Hours were extended by two hours, so for three days visitors could play until 6:30 p.m. Go-karts kept racing nonstop, and the batting center never stopped sounding with hits. Because the event overlapped with Bon dance season, many people used the campground. On the third and final day of the 100-yen campaign, we also held a PET BOTTLE ROCKET event! Participants assembled PET BOTTLES into rockets, filled them with water, attached them to the launcher, pulled the trigger and launched them! Cheers rose as the rockets flew powerfully through the air. Even when water splashed on them, children squealed with delight and had a great time. Thank you for visiting Forest Park! The season is still ongoing. We look forward to your next visit! #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #Forest Park #Summer #Everything 100 Yen #Play #Camping

Hiroshima Prefecture wind chime of Senko Temple in Onomichi City. Recently, wind chimes and tarako! Many famous landmarks can be seen on social media. Of course, I think it's good to aim for the Famous landmarks and enjoy the wind chime, but this time I and wind chime to a place I happened to stop at and took a picture there. Wind chimes know their existence by sound before they see their appearance. The moment you hear the sound, it invites elation and township that the wind chimes are there. I think it's summer in Japan that you can feel not only by watching but also by listening.
