Magnificent winter fireworks of Odaiba is back with a bang… Usually hanabi can be seen during summertime. But this one is in December that make it different yet special. It has holiday flavour too.

Gingko Shrine that suddenly appears This one is located in Tokyo 　　　　　　　　"Ginko Oka Hachiman Shrine" This shrine is hidden two minutes on foot from the station. Ginkgo trees are stunningly magnificent. Since it is located between buildings, it is difficult for the sun to pierce and the best time to see it is at this time. I'm glad 🤣 that you can enjoy ginkgo until December

It is located in Makurazaki City, Kagoshima Prefecture When the sunset pierces the Ritsujin Rock at this time of year It is called "Waxow Rock". There are usually clouds underneath I couldn't take a picture of Daruma and collaboration, I was able to take a nice picture.

'Sairinka' perfectly recreated!! This piece, which reproduces every detail of Tokachigawa Onsen's major winter event 'Sairinka', was created by a sixth grader from Otofuke Town (at the time)!! 😳 The lights shift so magically they look like the real thing! A huge fan of Sairinka, they sketched the concept from second grade and finally completed it in the winter of sixth grade✨ This work overflows with love for Sairinka and is simply wonderful 😭 Still, the quality is just unbelievable—wow!!

"Mt. Fuji envelops and watches over Tokyo" I was very impressed by the feeling that Mt. Fuji, one of the symbols of Japan, is watching over the people living in Tokyo while majestically enveloping Tokyo, the capital of Japan, where countless buildings are crowded. This photo was taken from a plane heading from Tokyo to Hokkaido on New Year's Day.

Himeji Castle, Hyogo Prefecture Cherry Blossom Frame On this day, I wanted to take a picturesque photo of cherry blossoms around Himeji Castle like a picture frame frame. I just wandered around Himeji Castle and tried to take pictures from various angles, but it didn't turn out to be the picture I was imagining in my head, and it didn't go as I had imagined, so I gave up trying to go home, walked back, and when I looked back, there was a place that was close to the world I imagined, and I stayed in this place and 😅 clicked the shutter from various angles.

From Himeji to the world Needless to say, the famous Himeji Castle, which is a world cultural heritage site The wedding was being held, so I took a picture. They were a very happy couple, and I was so happy to see them.

Iwanai Onsen wins the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Prize in the Onsen General Election 2023!!! Iwanai Onsen ranked first in Hokkaido by total votes 👏 and placed fifth nationwide in the ‘Smooth Skin’ category 👏. In addition, its past activities were recognized with the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Prize. The Onsen General Election is a citizen-participation project to revitalize hot spring areas, held since 2016 with the endorsement of five ministries and agencies (the Ministry of the Environment, the Cabinet Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the Japan Tourism Agency). Iwanai Onsen is a natural hot spring with high temperatures averaging 42–47°C, where you can fully enjoy free-flowing spring water. One attractive feature is that two different waters gush from the foot of the same mountain. One is a bicarbonate spring derived from rainwater that has seeped through the mountains and enriched with minerals. The other is a chloride spring originating from the sea, enriched by the ocean’s bounty. Both waters contain natural mineral components known to offer high benefits for beauty and health, and they fill the baths pure and untreated, without dilution or reheating. In the Iwanai Onsen area, Takashima Ryokan achieved: Hokkaido overall vote: 1st place 👏 Nationwide ‘Smooth Skin’ category: 3rd place 👏 Nationwide ‘Proud Dinner’ category: 3rd place 👏 Nationwide ‘Seafood’ category: 2nd place 👏 Nationwide ‘Solo Travel’ category: 1st place 👏 It ranked highly across these categories. We hope this helps more people learn, “Oh, I didn’t know Iwanai Town has hot springs!” And we hope many people will take this opportunity to visit Iwanai Onsen.
