After climbing the wonderful gate, I looked at it from below. I was surprised that it was so big. I thought it would be nice to look at it from below. The thought that the great thief under the heavens also saw this scenery gave me goosebumps. It's chilly and I can't stop the excitement that doesn't subside even if I put on a coat.

You! Hello! I'm from the photography club! It's been a while since the photo contest started. Thank you so much for the likes! Encouraging to post!! Let's all have fun until the deadline by the end of June! The image is the illumination of Toji Temple!

Ise Jingu Shrine that I went to for the First Pilgrimage to the Shrine! !! Both the outer and inner shrines are lush with greenery, and you can feel the natural taste and divinity from ancient times, and it is truly Power Spot, and I think that you should definitely go with someone who wants to have a relationship with you (*^^*) To get to the Inner Shrine, you need a bus from the Outer Shrine, but you can get to the Outer Shrine from Osaka Namba to Ise City without changing trains on the Kintetsu Limited Express, so I think it is easy to access from the Kansai area. If you also visit the Inner Shrine, it is also recommended to taste Specialties dishes such as Ise Udon noodles from Ise Specialties and beef skewers from Matsusaka beef at Okage Yokocho, which is a stone's throw away.

Funaya in Ine, Kyoto Whenever I look at it, I feel that it is amazing to be able to maintain this scenery even though it is close to the sea, and it seems that the reason why Ine Bay is less affected by disasters is because Qingdao, which becomes a bay, protects it.

A special scenic crane turtle garden created to welcome Tokugawa Iemitsu. From there, you can see Toshogu Shrine. The garden representing cranes and turtles may have been intended to symbolize the eternal prosperity of the Tokugawa family.

Fifty years have passed since the "Izu Peninsula Earthquake" that occurred at 08:33 on May 9, 1974 (Showa 49). At the time of the earthquake, there are still black and white photographs (some in color) preserved by the Minamiizu Tourism Association at that time, and although they are not well preserved, I hope that they will help with future earthquake countermeasures, so I will Publication them. At that time, with the opening of the Izu Kyuko Line Line in 1961 (Showa 36)) and the opening of the Margaret Line (free opening in 1983) in 1972 (Showa 47 (Showa 47)), the number of tourists increased and tragedy struck Minami-Izu Town, which was becoming the center of the tourism industry. 1976 (Showa 51 (Showa 51)) Flooding of the Aono River due to torrential rain in July, Kawazu earthquake in August of the same year, 1978 (Showa 53 (Showa 53) Izu Oshima Island Earthquake and other disasters occurred continuously, and infrastructure Maintenance was not completed in time, and the number of tourists decreased sharply. Even so, with the passage of time, it overcame great hardships and gradually achieved reconstruction, and now it is crowded with many tourists in the summer. From a global perspective, earthquakes occur Same as above as typhoons, so I think it is very important to prepare for disasters based on the lessons of the past and pass them on to future generations. What is the Izu Peninsula Earthquake? At 8:33 a.m. on May 9, 1974, a direct earthquake with its Minamoto off the coast of Irouzaki had a magnitude of 6.9. The earthquake left a total of 38 people dead and missing, and caused enormous damage, destroying about 370 buildings. Date of occurrence: May 9, 1974 (Showa 49) 8:33 Earthquake magnitude: Magnitude 6.9 Dead or missing: 38 Damage (completely partially destroyed): Approx. 370 buildings

3 minutes walk from Kyoto National Museums. Kayakuni Shrine dedicated to Hideyoshi. It seems that the Karamon gate that was originally located in Nanzenji Temple Totou Kinjiin was relocated. It used to be in Nijo Castle, and before that it was in Fushimi Castle. It is a wonderful Karamon that conveys the opulence of the Momoyama period. In front of the gate, two bows, two applause, one bow.

This is the ceiling painting "Twin Dragon Ceiling" taken at Kenninji Temple, which I visited on a walk in Kyoto sometime.

Dragons have been the subject of worship and worship since ancient times! Kyoto, dragons, temples, and other elements are all suitable for the subject of Japanese history, so I decided to post it.

The flower "Jacaranda" heralds the early summer of Atami. Whether it will bloom or not, you won't know until that year. Such a slightly capricious jacaranda flower. In 1990, the two trees were donated by Atami City's international sister city, the city of Power Skys in Portugal, and now more than 100 trees have been planted. The world's three largest flowering trees, which are distributed mainly in tropical regions with perpetual summer, have now become the flowers that herald the beginning of summer in Atami. Along the coast of Atami, in June, small blue-purple jacaranda flowers in the shape of trumpets color the sky like a bouquet from Omiya Ryokuchi to Sun Beach.
