I want to enter a photo contest and this is my first posted! Oishi Park on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi is the best time to visit kochia, so I went to Yamanashi Prefecture. On this day, there was a time when the moon did not rise, so I thought that I would Squid to take a picture with the starry sky, but unfortunately it was forecast to be cloudy on the day. After slowly taking a dip in the Hot Spring with a disappointing feeling, I suddenly went outside and looked up at the sky, and it was sunny! I suppressed my feeling of impatience and headed to Oishi Park by Car and was able to take a picture. The contrast between the cap clouds over Mt. Mount Fuji, the clouds reflected by the town lights, and the pleasant starry sky creates a good atmosphere, and as a result, it became a very favorite piece of the seasonal scenery and coincidence.

【Gokase Town Fukushi Festival】 This year's "Fukushi Festival" is also wrapped in warm vitality! 🙌 This year's theme is "Expanding the Circle of Welfare for Tomorrow." As the name suggests, the welfare center at the venue was full 😊 of smiles and kindness that led to the future of Gokase Town The Bazaar, which started at 10 a.m., was a great success 🔥 Many people gathered in search of bargains, and a lively circle of exchange was expanding 👚 I saw 👀 many children with stuffed animals that were bigger than me And the variety of stages was wonderful, and performances that could be enjoyed by men and women of all ages unfolded, and the entire venue was united in Excitement 🔥 At this Fukushi Festival, through the exhibition of welfare activities and the Bazaar, you can 🥰 feel the connection between Nature and the spirit of "mutual help" It was 👏 a place where everyone, from children to the elderly, including the staff involved in the operation, local residents, and student volunteers, could play a leading role The Fukushi Festival is a truly wonderful Event where you can feel that the circle of kindness of Gokase will expand into tomorrow and into the future. I would like to ✨ join this warm circle again next year
