The fifth stage of the series "Kobe, Rediscovered" will deliver the Ferris wheel Wonder Wheel from Kobe Harborland. This very symbolic Ferris wheel was originally opened at a leisure facility called AOIA on Rokko Island, and was in the spotlight as the world's first large Ferris wheel with an illumination function. I had a very strong impression of this time, and I used to look at this Ferris wheel from the mountains with its sparkling in the sea at night. However, the leisure facilities were damaged by the earthquake, and the Ferris wheel was relocated here in Harborland. Now he is completely Lord-like. In the daytime, the Ferris wheel is iridescent with sunlight, and at night, the illuminations of people create an illusion. Harborland is very lively day and night. It is a large Ferris wheel that always accompanies the bustle with flowers.

It's Himeji Castle in summer! 🏯 The collaboration between the castle and the Japanese ship is the view 🇯🇵 of The Japan It was a great view!

Series "Kobe, rediscovered" The fourth stage is the "Silver Knight" who roams the modern city. This is the former settlement of Kobe, which has an exotic atmosphere. In the 25th building, there is a very beautiful knight who stops the eyes of people passing by. This is a show window of a luxury brand store, but is it full-scale? ?? I couldn't help but stop and look at the knight statue. Kobe Settlement is a settlement for foreigners who moved to the trading port of Kobe in the Meiji era. It was once a gorgeous area of Western culture, and today it is a fashion hub with luxury brand stores. The neighborhood is calm and crowded, and there is a very chic atmosphere. I think you can enjoy relaxing shopping or window shopping and fully enjoy your adult time.

It is a view of Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Maiko Park. This photo was taken from Seaside Hotel Maiko Villa. I like the shape of the Transitive Cabinet. It's a bridge!

I came to Fukura Port in Minamiawaji City, at the southern tip of Awaji Island. At the roadside station Fukura, you can have a delicious iron fire roll and it's time for the Uzushio cruise. From here onwards is Shikoku.

"Kobe, rediscovered" Today, the third stage of the series, a locomotive "stopped" in the city ... It is a D51 popularly known as Degoichi. This locomotive, which was active in Hokkaido until 1975 Showa 50, is parked along the JR Kobe Station line closer to Osaka due to the wishes of volunteers. The photo was taken this year, but there is an "infinite" plate inside the illumination! !! It is said that this is exactly named after the demon exorcism of Setsubun. It seems that the light up is automatically lit by the light sensor, and when it starts to get dark to some extent, you can see the fantastic infinite locomotive. Everyone was taking pictures on this day as well. There are many people in this area as well, but if you listen to your heart, you may hear the whistle of the night train departing at 17:31:65.

Hotel Okura Kobe's garden. On a day when snow piled up in Kobe, the Japan garden was covered in snow. Hotel Okura Kobe has excellent buildings, rooms, meals, and the service of the staff. I love this hotel, I recommend it.

The second stage of the Kobe, Rediscovery series is the story of a cat who lives in a shrine. A crest of chrysanthemum flowers in running water ... This crest, famous as the family crest of the Kusunoki clan, resembles the rising sun from the horizon. This is the Minatogawa Shrine where Kusunoki Masanari is celebrated. At the shrine, three cats were always looking down at the people who came and went from the roof tiles. When I passed through here for the first time in several years, I was still relaxed... Feeling smaller than before? Maybe there has been a generational change. At this time, I photographed one of the two dogs. Relaxing in this way, I was still looking down at the people who came and went. Please visit when you take a walk in Kobe. There are a lot of people on the street, so please be careful not to look too high and bump into it.

Awaji Island Oiso, pre-dawn view. Osaka Bay had a very beautiful color.

When you walk around Kobe, you will find many things. I would like to deliver such something that caught my eye as the "Kobe, Rediscovered" series. The first stage is the work of Kobe-born sculptor Hirokazu Ichii. "Rainbow Floating Statue" Sunlight from far away space encountered water droplets on the earth after rain and created rainbow colors. I hope that many such miraculous encounters will be born in Kobe, and that many wonderful rainbows will be cast. It is written. This is a statue that I stopped when I was walking along the center street of Sannomiya. I hope that when you come to Kobe, you will find it. There are a lot of people on the street, so please be careful not to face down too much and bump into it.

In neighboring temples, lotuses are planted in large pots. In summer, large flowers bloom. The lotus position is a beautiful platform on which the Buddha sits... I also love 😊 this flower, looking up from below

1995.1.17。 A day that should not be forgotten as long as you live here. On the day of this disaster, let's prepare once again.

Pancakes of happiness on Awaji Island Art outside the store Staircase of happiness?? Of course, the pancakes are very delicious, but there are many people who come for this art work, and they line up 😯 to take pictures here. Awaji Island has entered Pasona and has recently been focusing on art works, and recently art and beauty spots have been created in various places, and the number of tourists from all over the country has increased considerably.

Himeji Castle in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture is famous as a national treasure, but it is also a famous place for cherry blossoms. The collaboration between the castle tower and the cherry blossoms is a superb view.

The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge of the World. Awaji was still a great empire. Awaji's vegetables filled with nature are as good as Hokkaido. When you visit Kansai, be sure to do it once

Sanda Fruit Flower Park My Idol It stood out more than the illumination laughs 😁

I couldn't easily return to my hometown due to Corona, and when I returned home for the first time in a long time, I happened to meet that brother. That smile was a superb view that is not often seen during work or travel. Thank you for cheering me up.

Hyogo Prefecture Yabu Shrine This is also a famous autumn foliage spot, and various places were 😀 gorgeous.

My personal favorite autumn foliage spotKeinichiji Temple 😌, Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture This is a little-known spot, but it is similar to Tajima Ankokuzen Temple, and above all, I really liked the hospitality and personality of the resident priest, and not only this place but everything was superb. It was a temple that seemed to be profitable.

In Hyogo Prefecture, the famous Tajima Ankokuzenji temple There is a world like a painting here, and it is beautiful, but I am quite nervous 😅 because I have to wait in line and finish shooting quickly to take this photo.

Akashi Bridge and morning fog pursued for many years From around March to May, the Akashi Bridge was covered with fog and created a fantastic scene, and even though I lived in the local area, the timing was not right due to work, and the fog disappeared when I arrived, so I couldn't take a picture, but I was impressed that I was able to shoot it only once. There is Asagiri Station nearby, and the sea around here is foggy in the morning, so the morning mist 😯 is so great that it is morning fog.

The rarely seen highway from the Akashi Bridge that supports the lifeline The car looked like a miniature car, but I was very scared when I was shooting straight down. As Bridgeworld explains, please be careful not to drop things as it will lead to a major accident!

It is a view of the Awaji Island side from the Akashi Bridge It is 😀 a scene that I usually see

This is a panoramic view of Kurotaki Falls in Yoshikawa, Miki City, introduced by Cool Japan video. It will be a production, but I did 🔦 my best alone in the night when it was lit up.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! 【Today's inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video" pickup】 Posts by "st Situation" Kurotaki in Yoshikawa Town, Miki City, which became famous for miniature Niagara in Hyogo Prefecture The horizontal waterfall is lit up and it is a fantastic photo. Kurotaki is a waterfall in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, which flows down the Minogawa River, which has a drop of 4 meters and a width of about 30 meters, and is also called "Mini Niagara" or "Yoshikawa Niagara" by locals.

At the roadside station "Yoshinoji Kurotaki", locally harvested wild vegetables and vegetables are sold, and handmade konjac is a recommended gem. Kurotaki Falls, which is made of paving stone-like monoliths in the lush hills, is said to make couples happy when they visit.

This is a superb view from the Mt. Rokko observation tower in Kobe. After climbing a steep hill on a road bike, I was very happy because it was a light awn that suddenly appeared from the morning sun! !! I was able to see the heavenly world and the earthly world at once, and it was as if I was 😊 drawn into the world of myths such as the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki.

Hattan-no-Falls near Kannabe Highlands, Hyogo Prefecture Here, the bottom of the waterfall is emerald green and it is very beautiful, but I wanted to add fresh green, so I dared to shoot from behind. Beware 😅 of bears here too 🐻 It is a tourist attraction, but I encountered it from a distance only once while shooting alone and left 🏃 immediately.

Kurotaki in Yoshikawa, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture It will be a standard composition, but I visited 😌 it before it was famous.

Ayuya Falls in Awaji, Hyogo Prefecture In the past, I often visited the waterfall alone in the middle of the night and lit 💡 it up.
