The "moss phlox" at Taiyo-no-Oka Engaru Park is gradually expanding in pink each day, with the upper part of the hill at 60-70% bloom. Currently, while no flowers are in full bloom at Shibazakura Park, it is a rare opportunity to see moss phlox, tulips, and Sakura all at once!

It's not just about "eating." The scenery, the air, everything becomes a feast. A dish enjoyed at the Kussharo Prince Hotel restaurant offers a luxurious experience that captures the charm of Hokkaido. In the leisurely flow of time, your heart will also be filled. 【Opening for the Green Season starts on Saturday, April 25, 2026】 📍Kussharo Prince Hotel https://www.instagram.com/kussharo_ph...

The scenery of Azumino, with its beautiful fresh greenery.

The fresh green sprouts have begun to emerge in Azumino. The clear water flows from wasabi fields and trout farms that utilize spring water.

On April 23rd, Azumino enjoyed a sunny morning. The dogwood trees began to bloom, adding beauty to the landscape of Azumino. This is the northern part of Azumino, along the streets of Aokemi Industrial Park.

Today I love to recommend a place in Tokyo which is Yushima Tenjin Shrine. Spring in Japan isn't just about enjoying the cherry blossoms, spring begins with the beautiful fragrance of plum blossoms, and you can witness the ume matsuri, or plum festival at Yushima Tenjin Shrine. It is near the Ueno park area and this festival usually held in 1st week of March every year. Ume lasts much longer than sakura, so its beauty can be enjoyed for a long time. Around 300 plum blossom trees are spread over the temple premises which are visited by many visitors every day. Besides, during this festival, various cultural events are held on the temple ground during the holidays.

Take a break from daily life and immerse yourself in tranquility. Before you lies a moment filled with Lake Kussharo and nature. In the morning, enjoy a leisurely view of the lake. In the afternoon, take a deep breath in nature. At night, be enveloped in silence. A stay without a packed schedule is the most fulfilling for the soul. How about spending some "time to find balance" here? You can make a reservation through the profile URL. 📍Kussharo Prince Hotel https://www.instagram.com/kussharo_ph...

Title: Fading Light Location: Niwaki Dam Lake, Takeo City, Saga Prefecture The particles of light and petals overlap, bringing the end of the season to the surface of the water. This is a photograph capturing the quiet afterglow of spring.

The weeping cherry blossoms in Kamihocchimachi, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture. They are located on a mound, with a Jizo statue at the base, and in the background, you can see the remaining snow on Joshu Hotaka Mountain. This is one of my favorite photography spots. The weeping cherry blossom, known as Hatsuchi no Jizo Zakura, is in full bloom. On a clear day, the Jizo statue served as a model for my photos. The parking area is small, making it a landscape in the satoyama that I wish to cherish.

I took this photo at the Akagi Kogen Service Area on the Kan-etsu Expressway. I happened to stop by and was able to see the beautiful Joshu Hotakayama and Komagatake with their remaining snow. I included the cherry blossoms that were blooming at the service area in the shot. It turned out to be a photo that captures the feeling of "the arrival of spring."

Title: Spring Unfolding on the Water The cherry blossom tree-lined path at Niwaki Dam Lake in Takeo City, Saga Prefecture, takes us from the present tranquility back to spring ten years ago. In this windless moment, I sensed spring unfolding upon the water's surface.

Rengebatake and local line Rengebatake was a common sight during my childhood, but now it has become a rare landscape. I captured a nostalgic atmosphere with the local line (Hokusei Line). Ageki Town, Inabe City, Mie Prefecture April 24, 2026

A quiet moment spent at Kushiro Prince Hotel. The port town stretches out beyond the large window, with the sun slowly setting. This view, known as one of the three great sunsets in the world. Just gazing at it brings a deep sense of tranquility. With the arrival of spring, sunset approaches around 6 PM. I savor the end of the day, which has grown just a little longer.
