The white-petaled lotus flower. The lotus comes in charming colors like pink and white and makes a lovely sight. It first blooms in mid-June and reaches its peak from early to mid-July. Some varieties close their petals in the morning, so visiting in the morning is recommended. https://www.minamiechizen.com/en/feature/80061/...

Metasequoia Avenue Makinomachi Hiruguchi to Makino, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture <Autumn Foliage> Typical peak season: late November to early December During the autumn foliage season from mid-November to mid-December, congestion occurs on Prefectural Route 287 Namiki Road and surrounding roads on weekends between 11:00 and 18:00. Please help ease traffic by visiting on weekdays when it is less crowded or by using the Makino Kogen Free Temporary Parking at the north end of the avenue. If you use public transportation, take JR Makino Station and then the Takashima City Community Bus Makino Highland Line. The avenue and nearby roads are vital local residential streets. Please do not park or stop on the road. The surrounding roads are residential streets. Slow down and watch for pedestrians. So that as many people as possible can enjoy the area, follow photography etiquette and avoid dangerous actions such as stopping on crosswalks or stepping into the roadway to take pictures.

I will never forget the shock of seeing the scenery of Kamikochi live even now It's a memory that will last a lifetime.

Memories of Summer Enbara River 2025.08.16 The cold water of the underground water warms up with the warmth of summer, and river fog is generated, and the sun shines on it, creating a beam of light.

The pink lotus in the second photo and the white lotus in the third photo are actually the same lotus! This variety is called kosanshoku, and its buds and early blooms look pink as in the first photo, but by the third to fourth day they change from pink to white! https://www.minamiechizen.com/en/spot/19388/...

On a warm summer afternoon, people found quiet moments to rest under the sunlight at Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo. Some read books, others lay down on the grass, simply enjoying the slow and peaceful rhythm of the day. Watching everyone enjoy their time made me realize how romantic and relaxing Japanese summers can be.

In September, a 16-inch mini velo crossed the Shikoku Mountains from Kochi to Matsuyama From Kochi, we passed along the Niyodo River, climbed a steep slope, climbed a steep slope, and finally reached the Shikoku Karst The scenery I saw there was so magnificent that I felt a sense of accomplishment that I was able to reach the ceiling of Shikoku with my own power, and I experienced an Impression that I will never forget for the rest of my life The karst terrain jutting out at an elevation of 1,400 meters on the border between Kochi Prefecture and Ehime prefectures seems to be somewhere else that is not Japan, but if you shift your gaze to the side, you will see steep mountains unique to Japan, reaffirming that it is Japan after all The contrast between the blue, white, and green that seems to symbolize summer, and the ridge that stretches endlessly from east to west Shikoku in the summer was the strongest And at night, I make dinner, spread out the shroud, and take a light nap At 10:00 p.m., I felt something and crawled out of the tent, and there was a starry sky everywhere I looked The Milky Way rising from the cloudless Shikoku Mountains It's only been a little over 20 years of my life, but it was the most beautiful Milky Way in my life I landed alone in Shikoku, carrying heavy camping equipment, riding a bicycle with small tires, and finally arrived at this place with a really tough feeling in the extreme heat, and this impression must have been the reason why I was so impressed I wonder if I will be able to encounter such impressions in the rest of my life. No, maybe I'm traveling by bicycle to meet people Rather than comfort, stability, and security, I want an overwhelmingly uplifting impression For that reason, I can't help but feel that I can overcome any difficulties on my own Because it is a Japan place, I want more people to experience everything that can be felt in the style of bicycle × travel

Summer Memories This is a photo taken from above of the Hozu River descent Located in in Kyoto Prefecture. I got off the Trolley Train in Sagano and was strolling around when I encountered a boat going down the river at the right time. Valleys surrounded by deep greenery, the boat moves slowly. The sunlight reflecting off the surface of the water, the cool breeze, and the laughter of friends. Everything from that summer day is packed into this one piece.

A Pleasant Lake Experience to Enjoy✨ Miyoshi is finally cooling down in the mornings and evenings, and the season to fully enjoy outdoor activities has arrived😊 This fall’s top recommendation is the “Ten-chan’s Haizuka Lake SUP Tour,” which we’d like to introduce😊 SUP stands for Stand Up Puddle. You stand on a board and paddle across the water, gliding smoothly in this popular activity. Even complete beginners, from children to seniors, can get up on the board quickly after a lesson. The greatest appeal is that you can enjoy it easily without worrying about fitness✨ The SUP instructor is Ten-chan, an experienced surfing and SUP instructor. Her careful teaching and radiant smile are highly praised, so even first-timers can feel at ease and enjoy themselves. Unlike the sea, you can relax on the calm lake surface. Surrounded by Haizuka Lake’s rich nature, you can savor a graceful stroll across the water🥰 Instruction proceeds at each participant’s pace, so few people fall into the water. Those who are determined to fall can keep trying challenging moves until they do! Since splashes may wet your hands and feet, please bring a change of clothes. You can change in a simple tent on site. Fresh water is prepared in a tank. If you fall in, you can rinse off inside the tent. “The leaves will soon be beautiful. Temperatures are comfortable, making this the best season for SUP! Anyone can feel free to get in touch😊,” says instructor Ten-chan. Why not try SUP in Miyoshi this fall?

Happo Pond in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. I wanted to see the moonlit view of the three mountains of Hakuba reflected in Happo Pond, so I visited by night hike on a night when the moon was out and there was no wind. The view of Mt. Hakuba, Mt. Tsurushi, and Mt. Hakuba reflected in the Happo Pond is the best.

A trip to Kujukuri Beach for a one-year-old. It was my first time in the sea, but I was not afraid to play on the sand and rush into the sea.

A trip to Kagawa with a lover. When I told him I wanted to see the sunset, he agreed. I was fascinated by the magic hour, and we watched it in silence for a while. A lover who is more excited than usual wants to try! One of the couples challenge that said. I have a good memory of failing just before this photo and getting my butt soaked.

This is one of the photos I took while visiting Ishikawa Prefecture this summer and being swayed by the Noto Storyteller Railway. I was struck by the scenery that was too beautiful to look at while listening to the painful stories.

This is one of the photos when I went to Kamikochi. Maintenance, fascinated by the unspoiled nature on the other side of the road, I pressed the shutter. I deliberately took a dark shot so that I could convey a quiet space.

Photographed 8/25/25. It is a wind chime at the edge of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine.

It was the first time I went to Kamikochi. I love Nature and was finally able to go, and I felt my heart beating. The saturation of blue and green was high, and the voices of birds and the sound of water seeped into my heart. Even though it was summer, it was cool and comfortable. My favorite place that I want to Outbound again.

A journey in the sea of clouds at Daikanbo, a waterfall in Aso Oguni. All the stress has been sucked away, and I think I can do my best again from tomorrow

Enoshima - in the middle of the road Bridging the Everyday and the Extraordinary It's been a few months since I started working and moved to Tokyo I moved to GW, so it was my first long vacation I thought about returning to my Local Hokkaido, but the plane was 80,000 yen round trip .... I boarded Enoshima alone, which I had always wanted to outbound to Nature that is different from Hokkaido, the feeling of being enveloped in the extraordinary the moment you cross the bridge You may have come to Enoshima on a trip, but from the moment you cross this bridge, you will have a special experience that is far from your daily life.
