Niyodogawa Town is famous for its Niyodo Blue, but the cherry blossoms at the 500-year-old Gourd Sakura Park in Niyodogawa Town are spectacular. The cherry blossoms illuminated by the moon at night were divinely beautiful.

Kochi Castle, located in Kochi, is one of the 12 surviving castle towers built in the Edo period.

In Ehime Prefecture Yawatahama Station The day before, I was planning to get up early in the morning to bully my tired body on the ferry from Kyushu and take the train to Shimonada Station. I used the nearest station to the ferry port, Yawatahama Station. Maybe it's because I woke up early in the morning, or maybe it's been a long time since I've returned to Japan, but the scenery I wasn't looking for is now my favorite.

The bottle is a sunset scene from the top of the forest (Ehime Prefecture). The silhouette on the right side of the photo is a shrine at the top of the mountain.
