In Ehime Prefecture Yawatahama Station The day before, I was planning to get up early in the morning to bully my tired body on the ferry from Kyushu and take the train to Shimonada Station. I used the nearest station to the ferry port, Yawatahama Station. Maybe it's because I woke up early in the morning, or maybe it's been a long time since I've returned to Japan, but the scenery I wasn't looking for is now my favorite.

The Onigiri Kingdom 🍙 that appeared in Rokko This is located in Hyogo Prefecture 　　　　　"Rokko Garden Terrace" This is my personal favorite spot. Located at an altitude of 900m, you can see the night view of Kobe. At night, it's very cold, so dress warmly! 😆

It is a "Ueu Falls" in the Matsune district of Kozagawa Town, Wakayama Prefecture. It is a terraced waterfall with a drop of about 18 meters, and the waterfall is surrounded by mossy rocks and is very mysterious. It is only a 15-minute walk from the forest road to reach it, but around February, the baikaowren also begins to bloom.

At Isshiki Coast

The Takahara area of the Kumano Kodo Nakabeji Course is known as the Village of Mist. In the early morning when it is cold the day after the rain, you may encounter a beautiful sea of clouds.

Near the mouth of the Tomita River, which flows through the southern part of Wakayama Prefecture, migratory birds such as ducks come to rest their wings.

Last year, I went to Rurikoin in autumn during the autumn foliage season. I thought it was a superb view that I would like to leave for future generations.

Night 🚃 on the Galactic Railway I took a picture of the runway to the sky. On this day, there were not many shots, so I didn't get many photo opportunities, but I managed to take one picture. I want 😆 to go out on this train track

Hatsuyakushi for Reiwa 6 Yesterday, the annual Yakushi event “Hatsuyakushi” took place and drew many worshippers. Around noon, cars lined up in the Hinata Yakushi bus stop parking lot and along Yakushi Forest Road, making passing very difficult. After turning back, I finally found a spot in the Bōchū parking lot and walked from the temple gate toward the main hall. An elderly man coming down stopped me with the words, "You’re late getting here; there’s no more rice porridge left," which made me pause. But seeing is believing. Since I had already started climbing, I hurried on. When I entered the main hall, they were indeed cleaning the rice-porridge cauldrons, so sadly I could not receive any this year. Still, even after the porridge distribution ended, worshippers kept coming, and Hinata Yakushi enjoyed a lively New Year.

It is a World Heritage Site, Nachi Falls with a drop of 133m. In clear weather, you can see a beautiful rainbow.

It is a nori net of Aosa in Yaguchiura, Kihoku Town, Mie Prefecture. Grown in the calm waters of the waves, the flavorful sea lions are harvested around March.

Runway ✈ to the sky This photo was taken at Itami Airport. This is also famous as the closest place in Japan where you can see airplanes. This is one that I managed to take in the rain, so I have a deep feeling. 😆

Beautiful winter scenery. Tokachi enjoys many clear winter days, so the blue skies and rime ice look stunning.

It is a cherry blossom that blooms on the ruins of Akagi Castle, which was the residence of the warlord Todo Takatora during the Sengoku period. In spring, the spotlight shines on the stage where the cherry blossoms bloom.

Spectacular View at Tokachigawa Onsen: Unryu Unryu is a river mist that appears on frigid mornings in January and February when temperatures drop below −15°C. It came to be called “Unryu” because the fog rising along the flow of the Tokachi River looks like a dragon stretching and resting. You can view this scene from the Tokachigaoka Observatory. This breathtaking sight is visible only in winter! This year is the Year of the Dragon—come to Tokachigawa Onsen to see Unryu!

It is a colony of core hydrangeas blooming in the Takeki district of Kawakami Village, Nara Prefecture. Fog looks good on the lilac core hydrangea that emits a faint fragrance.
