It is a scenic spot where you can see the Oiso Terugasaki coast and Mt. Fuji The beach is usually calm and crowded with people playing on the shore and fishing, but on this day when the rough waves were rushing in, Mt. Fuji brought out its magnificent appearance.

Izu-Buntei Built in 1910 (Meiji 43), Izu-Buntei once housed a kimono merchant. In Matsuzaki, the town received the building as a donation from its owner and restored the interior as a valuable historic Meiji-era structure. It is now open as a free rest area. A footbath is also installed in the park beside Izu-Buntei.

Meiji Merchant House Nakase Residence The Nakase Residence was built in 1887 (Meiji 20) as the home of prosperous cloth merchant Naokichi Yoda (Yoda Naokichi Gofukuten). Because the shop name of Yoda Naokichi Gofukuten was “Nakase,” the house is now known as the Nakase Residence. In 1998 (Showa 63), Matsuzakicho purchased the large estate—seven buildings including the main house and storehouses—and opened the main house to the public as an ethnographic museum. The building showcases lavish craftsmanship, from its timberwork to its fine carvings and metal fittings, offering a glimpse into the life of a wealthy merchant of the era. In particular, the black-lacquered namako-style plaster wall finish of the storehouse built inside the main house can only be seen here in Matsuzakicho.

Yesterday, Saturday, February 24, we held the Atami Sea Fireworks Festival! The weather blessed the mid-holiday weekend day, and beautiful fireworks colored the night sky. The next event is on Wednesday, March 20, 2024 (a national holiday).

When I went down to the beach to take a picture of the sunset over the cave of Engetsujima, a scenic spot in Shirahama Town, Wakayama Prefecture, and was holding my camera to see if it was still or not, I was hit by a wave. However, my index finger pressed the shutter firmly and took a powerful photo.

The sea cave in the Nanki-Kumano Geopark area and the street lights of Tanabe City on the opposite bank come in, but you can still see the stars beautifully.

It is a sea cave in the Nanki-Kumano Geopark area, and it was formed by the erosion of the coast by waves and wind.

It is a view of Rishiri Island. Rishiri Fuji is often hidden by clouds. It looked so beautiful on this day!! The sea is also crystal clear and beautiful ✨ Rishiri's sea urchin is also very fresh and delicious 😋 I hope I can see this beautiful sea forever!

I photographed the trajectory of a star light trail in Tanabe Bay, Wakayama Prefecture.

It is a naked island located in Asamushi, Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture. There is a legend here. A long time ago, in a village in the Asamushi district, a mother worked in the fields with her baby lying in the shade of a tree. At that moment, a great eagle flew out of nowhere and flew away with the sleeping baby. The kidnapped baby was lowered to the top of the bare island, where the great hawk rested its wings. Noticing this, the mother went into a frenzy and tried to climb the rocks of the bare island with her bare hands. It is said that when he desperately scratched the rock face, the bare island, which was a smooth rock, was chipped on the side and stained with his mother's blood, giving it its current shape. It's not a flattering story, but ... However, there is no eerie atmosphere at all, and as the name "Naked Island" suggests, it is an impressive place with exposed rock surfaces. Only the island is orange because it picks up the light of nearby street lamps.

The sky and clouds after sunrise were beautiful. Kujukuri Beach in winter is wonderful.
