[Autumn Foliage Drive 🚘] Today I went for a drive to hunt for the remaining autumn leaves as they’re dwindling 🚗 First stop was Josenji Temple 🍁 The maple trees around the temple showed a range of colors, and every view was beautiful ✨ Mt. Nijo, being higher in elevation, didn’t have great foliage this year 😅 Still, the lookout gave a sweeping view of the mountains; the wind was cold but it felt refreshing 😊

I aimed to make a single leaf stand out by capturing the striking color of backlit autumn leaves and pairing it with a soft, blurred background. I hope it conveys the deepening of autumn and the beauty of the light.

Urabandai in Fukushima is one of my most favorite autumn destination.

The autumn in Urabandai, Fukushima is amazing. I took this photo during a figgy day near lake Hibara. The small island inside the lake also full of autum colors which makes the frame more beautiful. Mist, autumn colors and lake, these are all what i can even imagined. It was so exciting and eye-shoothing. After thus trip I was really refreshed and energized again.

Kakurogaki Making Diary 4 ✨ They are gradually starting to look like dried persimmons 😀 This is my first time making them so I don't know the timing for the next step I'm asking someone who lists kakurogaki through the hometown tax program 😅

Amidst the gentle rain, the silhouette of a majestic mountain looms over the serene Lake Hibara, creating a breathtaking backdrop. As I sit by the lake’s edge, the tranquil atmosphere envelops me, turning this moment into something truly unforgettable. The tiny islands in the distance adds a touch of magic, making the scene feel like a painting come to life.

Autumn leaves in Gokasecho🍁 The autumn colors in Gokasecho have suddenly deepened over the past few days🍁 The foliage in front of Shirataki Falls in Kuraoka District is not fully colored yet, but overall the area is at peak color✨ I also visited Myoken Shrine and other spots in Kuraoka District; the maples there still need a bit more time to peak💡 Some areas will continue to change color, but how about a drive to see Gokase’s autumn leaves this weekend?😊 ⚠Notice⚠ The road to Shirataki is a forest road with poor conditions. There is little space for cars to pass. We do not recommend driving if you lack confidence, are in a large vehicle, or are driving a low-clearance car.

There is a Tea Room called Korakutei in the park and Several times a month, it is used for Tea lessons and Tea Parties for children. But even if you live in a village Those who have never set foot in Korakutei, There are many people who only looked at the garden of Korakuen from the outside. Some people take a walk on a daily basis Even for those who don't, It was two days that gave me the opportunity to visit Korakuen. There are almost no lights in the park. Lights installed along the walking path It shimmers in the darkness. It was a night of light rain.
