Continuing from yesterday, at "Ouchi-juku" in Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture. It was a historical place that made you feel as if you had traveled back in time.

This is also at "Ouchi-juku" in Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture.

"Ouchi-juku" flourished as an important road post town connecting Aizuwakamatsu City and Nikko Ima City in the Edo period. Even today, the remnants of the Edo period remain as they are. It is said that it is actually living as a store and residence in order to take over this landscape. The photo was taken from a small hill. The sight of more than 30 private houses with thatched roofs lined up was a masterpiece.

At the Sendai Agricultural and Horticultural Center. The sunflower will soon be off season, but it was blooming in plenty of sun.

At Takekoma Shrine. (Part 2) This wind chime was installed on the approach to the precincts. Every time it swayed in the wind, the refreshing tone was pleasant.

At Michinoku Mori Lakeside Park. I was able to take a picture of summer that filled the screen.

At Michinoku Lakeside Park. I've been feeling summer to the fullest.

The day after New Year's Day, at Yamagata's mountain temple. The view that spread out at the end of the 1015 steps of the slippery staircase is truly superb.

It is a waterfall located in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture. I tried to express the size of the waterfall by putting plants in the foreground.

Shot at the "Forest of Illusions" in Yamagata Prefecture. A location that was also filmed in a certain commercial. As the name suggests, it was a Ghibli-like world view with fantastic trees lined up.

Proceed to the back of Ginzan Onsen in Obanazawa City, Yamagata Prefecture to "Shirogane Falls" As the name suggests, the waterfall flowing in the snowy landscape was like white silver! You can see the snowy scenery and the waterfall at the same time, so it is also recommended for sightseeing!

This photo was taken in the limestone cave of Abukuma Cave in Fukushima Prefecture. It was found by explorers who dug up a narrow place over a long period of time, and it took a long time to get this shape. When I was walking inside, it was like walking in a dungeon, and I remember being excited.

The road along the river on the way back. The setting sun glitters on the surface of the water. On a sunny day, when you see this scenery after work, your fatigue will disappear completely.

Nishiwaga, Iwate Enjoy the scenery while walking in the river. Always superb.

This photo was taken in Shiwa Town, Iwate Prefecture. Like smoke coming out of a chimney. Enjoy the natural scenery while taking a walk.

I found it from the inside of the car in Fukushima Prefecture (certainly Date), and I put up with the cold while it was snowing (laughs) and took a picture. 2022/2/19 22:45 Sony DSC-RX100 SS:5s F5.0 ISO200 Flash:Rear curtain sync

It is a photo where you can feel the change of seasons in Japan, where the cherry blossoms at the foot of the mountain are about to reach full bloom as the cold of winter gradually warms up.

It is "Yokote kamakura" in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. "Kamakura" is a small New Year's event dedicated to the god of water, and children among the kamakura shout "Enter! They talk to tourists and treat them with mochi and amazake. This photo is from the "Kamakura" photo session venue, but the best position was super full and I regretted being late, but if I dared to take it from a position where no one was looking, I was able to take a really nice photo and I was very satisfied with the "Kamakura" photo.

With the mountains of Hachimantai in the background. They seemed to be preparing to return to the north.

Hachimantai City, Iwate Prefecture. On the way, a few birds left the flock and flew away.

[Deliver to Santa! ] 】 This is an illuminated scenery at a roadside station in Kawamata Town, Fukushima Prefecture! !! A Christmas tree decorated with Kawamata Town's specialty anthurium is lit up! The little child was talking to his mother, "I wonder if Santa will come to my house!" and I was healed!

It was taken at a temple in Matsushima, Miyagi Prefecture. We hope you will feel the Japan of worshipping in the snow.

At Miyagi Zao Fox Village, I filmed the timing when the two horses started playing with each other. It was so powerful that snow flew around, and I tried to shoot from as low as possible.

Was shopping the other day in Nihonbashi and saw this akabeko and thought it was really cute so I decided to take a photo of it. The name was quite funny to me as well. Instead of the usual "akabeko" this was a "nemubeko," or "tired-beko" basically, and you can see how the eyes are actually half way shut instead of the normally wide-open eyes, giving it the tired look lol. I've always wanted to try an akabeko experience as I love traditional Japanese crafts and akabeko in particular seem really fun to make. I've read a few posts in another places of people trying akabeko workshops and having a really fun time. I haven't used papier mache since I was a kid either so it'd probably be a nostalgic experience for sure. If I do try an akabeko workshop, I think I'll make a "nemubeko" as well lol
