It is the Setsubun Festival of Kyoto Yasaka Shrine. Here, geiko from Gion participate in the mamemaki (bean throwing).

The Byodo-in Phoenix Hall is a Japan ten-yen coin. I haven't been there since 2019, but it's always beautiful. I had to take a quick picture with many tourists flowing by, but I think I was able to capture it from a good angle of view, including the crescent moon!

Yangguji Temple Hanachozu When I came here two years ago, there was no "Yes, Kyoto, let's go" logo on the ladle, but in the past few years, it has become a hot topic on SNS and has changed. As usual, hydrangeas were laid out, and many tourists came. I shot simply with telephoto, compression effect, and no unnecessary objects.

Heian Jingu Shrine Yormoude The asymmetrical lights were illuminated, and the color changed as time went by, which was beautiful. This is because by intentionally making the photo asymmetrically illuminated, it is a beautiful photo regardless of whether you look at it on the left or right.

Traditional Japan event Uji no Ukai It was the first time I saw a female Ukai and I felt it was amazing. Permission to shoot has been uploaded.

【Byodo-in Phoenix Hall】 Sometimes monochrome

【Alley】 Take a short walk in the mountains A bridge was built Behind it is The autumn leaves were beautifully colored.

【Autumn Colored Stairs】 At the top of the straight staircase, the autumn leaves were shining beautifully lit up. The illumination time was almost over, and the stairs were crowded with people taking pictures, but I waited for the moment when there were fewer people.

【Toji Temple Light Up】 It was a very beautiful light-up. Out of time I couldn't take a slow picture It's a shame.

<Yasaka Shrine Setsubun Festival > Various events have been canceled due to Corona. This was the Setsubun Festival three years ago. When the mamemaki (bean throwing) is over, spring in Kyoto is just around the corner. Please also pay attention to the shape of the maiko's kanzashi.

<Kinkakuji Temple on a frozen morning> After the heavy snowfall, the pond of Kinkakuji Temple remains frozen. During the shooting, the sky became blue and the view was truly superb. When it snows, be sure to visit Kinkakuji Temple.

<Snow and Kinkakuji> Kinkakuji Temple was hit by a cold that the pond was freezing. Blue sky while shooting. It was truly a superb view.

< Heavy snow morning and sunrise> On a heavy snow morning, the snow finally stopped and the morning light came over Kyoto. I involuntarily released the shutter at the momentary drama. The view from the Kiyomizu-dera temple gate was the best.

<Winter Eikando> Even in Kyoto City, there are years when it snows heavily. In such a case, please visit Eikando. It is a famous place for autumn leaves, but the snowy scenery is also the best.

With < Moon and Sakura> It is the cherry blossoms of Maruyama Park in the freezing winter. After this winter, many cherry blossoms will bloom again.

This is the Daigoji Buddhist temple in Kyoto. This photo highlights the contrast between the warm red temple and the chilly winter breeze. It really gives off the winter vibe as you stare in awe at the beauty of this scene. One is left seeking solace in their worship as the snow descends outside, covering everything.

The season of missing people has arrived again this year

I felt ☺️ ❤️ as if I had traveled back in time when I saw the boatman slowly rowing the boat on the Hozu River in Kyoto Arashiyama.

This is a photo of my visit to Zenmineji Temple in Rakusai, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture.

The sea of clouds in Yakuno that I saw for the first time in my life I left home late at night and went mountain climbing.

Autumn rice ?

Togetsukyo Bridge

One photo at Rurikoin Temple, Kyoto, November 2020. The beautiful trees in the garden were reflected on the sutra desk, creating a fantastic world. In particular, the withered ginkgo trees and the maple trees with autumn leaves seemed to show the transience of the human world, and it was truly a superb view.

Shot in Okusaga, Kyoto.

Shot in Kyoto. The autumn leaf reflection and the heron reflection were a luxurious time.

Autumn of Japan. Yanagitani Kannon's water shed for autumn leaves. It was a moment when I was moved by the fact that the taste of collecting colorful autumn leaves and delighting the eyes of visitors is the very spirit of hospitality unique to Japan people.

Some photos I took at Nijo Castle in spring 2018. You can see the cherry blossoms in some of the photos just starting to bloom, but not quite in full bloom, and the rest of the gardens were really enjoyable as well. I really liked the gold decorations/designs on the buildings. The gate was also really cool. I believe it's called Karamon Gate although I'm not 100% sure on that. The moat around the castle was pretty neat as well, I can imagine it was a strong fortification, especially since it belonged to Tokugawa Ieyasu, although I'm not entirely sure about the rest of the castle's history. The photos of the moat and surrounding area were taken from on top of a small vantage point, and I wonder if it was originally some sort of turret, but I'm not sure about that either. Either way, I definitely recommend giving it a visit to anyone in Kyoto or anyone planning to visit Kyoto. I believe it was relatively close to the Golden Pavilion as well, so if you have the chance, why not?
