Abashiri Tourist Association. Hokkaido's tourism PR character "Kyun-chan" came to Abashiri! Kyun-chan is an Ezonaki rabbit that lives in Hokkaido and is characterized by its ugly ears and dark eyes. To impress the feelings of what you see and touch with "Kyun" is the origin of Kyun-chan's name. In Abashiri, we boarded the drift ice breaker "Aurora" and enjoyed local gourmet, Abashiri champon, Okhotsukuzangi bowl, drift ice curry, drift ice soft, etc.!

It is a ferry from Osaki Shimojima to Osakikamijima. Proceed through the glow of the morning sun. You can see the Kurushima Bridge over there.

Pine Island Bay in the twilight and contrails cutting through the sky Fishing boats, twilight, and contrails are all the main characters. The air was clear and the contrails were beautiful.

Sightseeing boat across Matsushima Bay One of the three Japan scenic spots of Matsushima Why don't you go sightseeing in Matsushima Bay by sightseeing boat?

The Choja Bridge and pleasure boats of the Shogawa Gorge. I took this photo in time with the sightseeing boat that departs at 9 o'clock in the morning. If you come from the Toyama side, you can go to Shirakawa-go and Gokayama after sightseeing in Shogawakyo, so it is definitely recommended for car travel. It was also very refreshing to drive along the river road towards the next destination, Shirakawa-go. It was snowing the day before, so I thought there would be a little more snowfall, but it's quite difficult.

Kinkai Bay in Setouchi City, Okayama Prefecture. I photographed the fishing boat leaving the port at dawn and the sunrise. It became a work that made us feel the relationship between people and nature.

I took a picture of the sunset of the Kurijima Strait from Oshima, Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, and Mt. Kameroyama Observation Park. The ships sailing through the strait and the light illuminating the sea are beautiful.

It is a total lunar eclipse of the sailing ship "Miraihe" and Beaver Moon. I shot in Kobe and Kamomeria.

In Kobe, you can often see scenery like a sailing ship festival. The ones in the picture are Japan Maru and Kaio Maru. It was taken around dawn, but both boats were lit up.

Some photos of our trip to Sawara in Chiba Prefecture over the 3 day weekend a couple weeks back. On the way to Sawara we stopped at Chiba Station and had lunch at a place called Common Café. I order a burger not expecting a lot, but it was the best burger I've had in a long time actually. We arrived a bit late in Sawara and were kind of tired so we decided to just go to the hotel, shower and relax for a bit and then have dinner. We had a reservation at a French restaurant called Mougins and it ended up being a really great experience. After eating dinner we were headed back to the hotel and we heard some hayashi and cheering in the distance and we decided to check out what was happening. We found a dashi parading through the streets and they were stopping at different places to pick up alcohol lol. Apparently they'd been doing it every Sunday, I think since corona started. It was pretty cool to see though. The next day we went to check out the Sawara Historical District and after reaching our destination we decided to take a break at a cafe. We ordered a shaved ice and some sort of soda. They were both really delicious, especially the shaved ice. It was some sort of flavor using tea from Kyoto and milk. I forget what it was called exactly though. We also stopped by the former residence of Inoh Tadataka, the famous Japanese cartographer. It was quite interesting seeing where he lived. After visiting his residence, we to the nearby museum and learned about his life and everything he did. I was pretty blown away by how incredible he actually was. I was a bit surprised that I hadn't learned much about him when I was studying the history of Japan, but after visiting the museum I'm convinced he was truly a genius. Unfortunately I couldn’t take pictures inside of the museum, but seeing all of the tools that he used to draw maps and learning how they worked was really interesting. On top of that, the maps he drew were unbelievably accurate. I think it mentioned somewhere that his maps were used until the 1900's, despite being drawn several hundred years prior. His cartography was only one of the endeavors he pursued as well. There were also some documents that explained how he helped his town get through the famine, and also documents detailing how he dealt with local lords imposing taxes on his town. Besides the museum, we also took a boat ride through the canal that ran through the historical district. The canal was quite nice, and you could see the historical buildings that lined the sides of it while going through it. We had to lower the cover on the boat for several bridges as the water level was quite high due to the recent rains, but that just made the experience even more memorable. The tour guide on the boat mentioned how when the canal was used back in the Edo period, it was incredibly busy and boats would have been bumping into each other constantly while passing through. During the boat ride through the canal I noticed some interesting statues on various lanterns and decided to check them out. They all turned out to be interesting and unique. We ended our trip by having a late lunch near the historical district. We had planned to take a train back to Tokyo but missed it by a few minutes. Fortunately, a bus arrived at the perfect time and so we rode that back to Tokyo. It was much better than the crowded trains. Overall it was a really good day-trip style excursion and I definitely recommend it! Managed to find 2 poke lids too!

On a solo trip in Zushi-Hayama area. The surface of the water reflected by the sunset was amazingly beautiful! I'm ☺️ glad I took a good picture

It's always beautiful 🌟 here. :* A place 😆 filled with all the boys' favorite things Trains, cars, ships, planes... w It's😊 a place where you can see everything on land, sea and air. If you see something beautiful, you can ✊ do your best again from tomorrow

A photo I took a little while back while on a small boat ride through Tokyo. This photo was of Ishikawajima Park, a small riverside park that looks like it'd be a nice place to relax and have some lunch with a friend or date or just get some fresh air. I'd like to come back and visit the area when I have some time and see what else is in the park, as well as take a look at the surrounding buildings and what they might have in the area as far as restaurants and shopping, etc. It's really nice that Tokyo seems to be returning to a relatively normal state and I'm seeing more people out and about and infection numbers don't seem to be on the rise currently. Hopefully this trend continues and I can start going out more and visiting all of the eateries and stuff I've been missing out on over the last year and a half!

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.

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

There were cosmos flowers blooming in the lake, and it was very beautiful!

In the sea, coral reefs. This photo was taken when snorkeling in the beautiful sea of Okinawa. With so many tropical fish and coral reefs, you won't get tired of this scenery that you can only enjoy in Okinawa. The place I want to go first when Corona subsides.

In the summer clouds by amphibious bus During the Olympics, it looked comfortable (Shin-Toyosu, Koto Ward)

The Sakurajima Ferry is an indispensable means of transportation for Kagoshima residents. It's only a 15-minute boat trip, but you can also enjoy sightseeing. Be careful not to fall ash!

Went to Venus Fort in Odaiba. Was a really cool atmosphere and not very crowded at all. Lots of cool stuff to see and shopping as well. Went to a Hokkaido-style Izakaya afterwards. The zangi was really crispy and everything tasted great.

📍 Itsukushima, Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima ⊿ Location In the mid-Edo period, it was known as one of the three scenic spots in the Japan, along with Amanohashidate in Tango Province (now northern Kyoto Prefecture) and Matsushima in Mutsu Province (now the eastern part of the Tohoku region).

📍 Kyoto / Hozu River Rafting It is a boat trip of about 16 km from Kameoka to Arashiyama, and ✨ you will go down the river while admiring the autumn leaves and superb view spots. There are many other sightseeing spots in Arashiyama, and it is a place where you can enjoy more than you can visit in one day. I can't ☺️ wait for the autumn leaves.
