Photographed on September 30, 2014. I relaxed at the Starbucks Kanetsuki-dōri Store. I had a pumpkin spice latte and two types of custard apple pie made with apples from Aomori Prefecture.

I took this photo at Mizumoto Park in Tokyo, and for me, it captures much more than just the beauty of autumn. As I walked among the towering metasequoia trees, I was completely drawn to the way the warm sunlight was passing through the forest. The trees were glowing in deep shades of red, orange, and gold, while the morning sun created beautiful, elongated shadows across the ground. I remember feeling a sense of calm as I stood there, surrounded by such incredible colors and silence. But what really caught my attention was that quiet seat beneath the trees. It looked so peaceful, almost as if it was inviting me to stop for a while and forget everything else. I imagined sitting there, feeling the cool autumn breeze, watching the sunlight slowly move between the trees, and simply enjoying the moment. I wanted to capture that feeling—not just the scenery. Sometimes a scene makes you stop before you even think about composition. You just feel something. That is what happened here. I waited for the sunlight to fall perfectly between the trees, revealing the seat and illuminating the autumn leaves around it. When I finally pressed the shutter, I felt that I had captured a small piece of the peacefulness I was experiencing at that moment. Looking at this photo now, I can still remember the feeling of standing there—the warmth of the sunlight, the quietness of the forest, and the overwhelming beauty of autumn at Mizumoto Park. This photograph is not only a picture of a beautiful place; it is a memory of a beautiful moment I was lucky enough to experience.

There are moments when a photographer simply forgets to press the shutter because the view in front of them feels too beautiful to capture. That was exactly how I felt during my visit to Mizumoto Park in Tokyo in autumn. I arrived early in the morning, just as the first rays of sunlight were beginning to touch the horizon. The entire park seemed to be waking up slowly, wrapped in a peaceful silence. Standing in front of the magnificent metasequoia forest, I was completely mesmerized. The tall trees, dressed in their warm autumn colors, stretched endlessly into the distance. Soft golden sunlight filtered gently through the branches, creating delicate patterns of light and shadow along the path. The misty morning atmosphere added an almost dreamlike quality to the scene, making the forest feel less like a place in Tokyo and more like a magical landscape from another world. As a photographer, these are the moments I live for—the moments when nature, light, color, and silence come together perfectly. Every direction I looked felt like a photograph waiting to be captured. The golden leaves glowing under the morning sun, the towering metasequoias disappearing into the distance, and the soft, tranquil atmosphere created a truly mystical view. I stood there for a while, simply taking it all in. No rush, no noise—just me, my camera, and the breathtaking beauty of an autumn morning. My trip to Mizumoto Park became much more than just another visit to a beautiful place. It became a beautiful memory, captured not only through my camera lens but also in my heart.

[Chiheisen Morizumu] Friday, September 4th The cafeteria of GA.KOPPER was overflowing with people, and many were found in the hallway, listening to the relay talk. They gathered in Nishiokoppe Village, a remote area of Hokkaido, from all over the country and even the world to participate in the pre-festival of the Chiheisen Report Meeting "Morizumu." Founded in 1979, the Chiheisen Kaigi is a network of "doers" interested in exploration, adventure, and travel. These are people who place great importance on seeing things firsthand and have been sharing their experiences through monthly report meetings and a booklet called "Chiheisen Tsushin." Although there are no offices, membership fees, or rules, the connections formed over a long time are significant. Reunions with someone met through reports or communications, as well as new encounters, flourished in the village of Nishiokoppe. The gathering on Saturday the 5th began with an opening act by the Chiheisen Proper Conduct Band and the Nishiokoppe Wenshiri Drummers, followed by three report meetings and a venison festival. The traditional "Chiheisen Auction & Relay Talk" was also a great success! On Sunday the 6th, the report meeting was held from 9 AM to around 4 PM, filled with rich discussions. It was three days filled with the energy of those involved in Morizumu. We are truly grateful for choosing Nishiokoppe Village as the venue for such a large-scale gathering and for everyone's efforts to make it happen. We look forward to meeting you again somewhere on our travels!

The Flower Path Leading to Mori Yume There is a road that continues from the main entrance of Hotel Rimu to the national highway. In early August, the flower beds along that road were in full bloom. The contrast of the flowers is beautiful, but my favorite is the white leaves 🍃 While looking back at my photos, I found pictures of the flower bed taken at the end of June. Comparing them was surprising 😳 I couldn't believe how different the plants looked from when they were first planted! I realized that the imagination to plant with growth in mind and the daily care help create such a lovely flower bed. It's a road I often drive on, but when you stay at Hotel Rimu, please take a stroll nearby and enjoy the flower beds! #Nishiokoppe Village #Flower Bed #Hotel Rimu #Summer #Plants
