【 Towns where you can meet red-crowned cranes, Taiki Town 】 In Taiki Town, there are many red-crowned cranes, a special natural monument of the country. The most common season is autumn, just around this time. You can often see them looking for food in the fields after the crops have been harvested. The location gives the impression that it is more common on the sea side than on the mountain side. Please look for it! By the way, the small bird in the middle of the first photo is not a red-crowned crane, but a crowned crane. It is also attractive that various kinds of creatures can be seen together in Taiki Town ✨

The sprout-eating blue pigeon came to the trees in Iwamotoyama Park in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture in mid-March! I hope that we will be able to maintain an environment where wild creatures can easily rest their wings in the future!

This is Sakujiro taken at Antaiji Temple, Nishio City. Kawazu cherry blossoms were beautiful ^^

Hokkaido also has zero snowfall. Fukujukusou is blooming At the end of the month the cherry blossoms will also bloom. Spent the winter in Miyagi and Iwate Migratory birds rest their feathers in Hokkaido Heading further north, one after another I'm going to leave.

I was looking around to see where I could hear the cry from, and I was able to take a picture!

*Please click to see the photos. It just so happened that a bird flew in and it was a perfect match with the Sky Tree, which is also a symbol of Japan.

During springtime, it's a joy to watch birds get excited amidst cherry blossom- happy to capture pink sakura framed bird moment. Its a spring fest for birds. This photo was taken in Oizumi central park in Nerima.

Kawazu cherry blossoms and mejiro In Kawazu Town, Shizuoka Prefecture, there was a whitetail in the cherry blossoms at the Kawazu cherry blossoms festival, so I pulled it out with a telephoto lens and took a picture.

Spring in Japan is all about cherry blossoms. Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom earlier than Someiyoshino, signaling that spring is near. The wild bird "Mejiro", which had never been seen before, is coming in search of nectar from Kawazu cherry blossoms. Kawazu cherry blossoms shine in the bright blue sky, and if there is a komejiro, it is "the first in spring". In a world where war is spreading, while looking at the Kawazu cherry blossoms on a calm day, I feel that I am happy to have been born in such a wonderful country.

Photographed in Oshima, Kushimoto Town, Wakayama Prefecture. Seagulls and dragonflies that come to feed the fish farm for spillage, and they are full without much effort.

Even in the rain, it is a mejiro that comes to our house every day. It's a photo taken through a gap in the curtain, but it's very vigilant, and I take a bite and look around.

It was a plum warbler, not a warbler.

It is a migratory bird photographed in a park with a pond. The beautiful pond water in the background highlights the beauty of the snow-white bird. I posted it because I hope that this harmony between nature and humans will continue forever.

"Eagle Observation Premium Tour" I participated in the winter-only tour held at the Tokachi Nature Center! In the midst of light snow, we will proceed along the quiet Tokachi River while receiving explanations from the guide of the Wild Bird Society. In addition to sea eagles and white-tailed eagles, we were able to see many wild birds such as striped long-tailed moths, swans, and kawaisa! I was impressed by the fact that I was able ✨ to use binoculars and telescopes to capture the figure clearly The other participants brought cool lenses that looked like bazookas ? It was a very satisfying 45 minutes. The tour will be held until 1/7 and will be held only on Saturdays and Sundays. Please contact the Tokachi Nature Center for details. 【Inquiry】 0155-32-6116 Tokachi Nature Center

Ducks swimming in the Tomawa River in Tochigi City in the cold wind.

Magan takes off all at once at sunrise This is "Izunuma", which straddles Kurihara City and Tome City in Miyagi Prefecture, and is a wild bird spot famous for the large number of magan geese flying in from the end of October every year. In particular, "Izunuma and Uchinuma" are said to be the best migratory bird flying places in Japan, where about 80% of the geese that come to Japan spend. It is especially famous for its early morning flight and evening roosting, and the scenery is so spectacular that it is popular with non-birdwatchers.

Lifuyu　 The swan that heralds the arrival of winter is in its usual place A storm of hair rose from the river, and the winter stage was ready. The all-important full-fledged "cold" has not yet come...

The beautiful green of the ducks was reflected in the beautiful red autumn leaves.

In front of the Tokachigawa Onsen Daiichi Hotel, three red-crowned crane cranes came to play!

The sight of the duck chicks swimming desperately is both cute and powerful.

Nice to meet everyone who watched the COOL JAPAN VIDEOS! This is the Rishiri Fuji Town Tourism Association located on Rishiri Island, Hokkaido. Since this is my first post today, I would like to briefly introduce information on Rishiri Fuji Town, to which the Rishiri Fuji Town Tourism Association belongs, and introduce the daily life and charm of Rishiri Fuji Town from the next time. ~Introduction of Rishiri Fuji Town~ Rishiri Fuji is a town located in the Soya region of the northernmost part of Hokkaido, consisting of two areas, Oshidomari and Oniwaki, on the east side of Rishiri Island. As of February 2023 (Reiwa 5), the town has a population of about 2,200 and is mainly based on the core industries of fisheries and tourism, and 2020 (Reiwa 2) (2020) marked the 140th anniversary of the opening of Rishiri Fuji Town. Starting with Mt. Rishiri (elevation 1,721m), which has been selected as one of Japan's 100 Famous Mountains, there are rare alpine plants and more than 320 species of wild birds that can be seen from 0m above sea level, as well as abundant marine products such as Rishiri kelp, sea urchin, scallops, abalone, and hokke, which are known as luxury products. We look forward to seeing you on Rishiri Island.

There is a beautiful woodblock painting of Shōzaburō Watanabe I once saw with the name "owl and cherryblossom" and never thought to see a nocturnal bird like owl can be seen on a broad daylight. So it is a rare sight for me and happy to capture a moment like this. It was taken from kita asaba sakura zutsumi of Saitama Prefecture.

It is a shrine located very close to the station in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture. It's a long way from Yamate, but you can see the whitetails flying. Invited by the scent of plum blossoms... There weren't many people coming, so I was able to shoot slowly.

These are Kawazu cherry blossoms and mejiro. Kawazu cherry blossoms are early blooming cherry blossoms that begin to bloom in early February. Kawazu cherry blossoms were born from the natural hybrids of the scarlet cherry blossoms and Oshima cherry blossoms mentioned in the previous post. Since it was discovered in Kawazu Town in Shizuoka Prefecture, it was named Kawazu Sakura. The reason why Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom so early is that the early flowering time of the cold scarlet cherry blossoms, which is the source of hybridization, is said to be the early flowering time. (Since the color of Oshima cherry blossoms is pure white, the color of Kawazu cherry blossoms seems to be somewhere between Kanscarlet cherry blossoms and Oshima cherry blossoms.) ) By the way, Kawazu cherry blossoms can also be seen in Tokyo. This photo was taken in front of the Marubeni Building in Otemachi. (It's quite scattered now.) ）

Many cute yurikamome fly, and even in the cold winter, it is spectacular and enjoyable.
