Spring is definitely coming.

I ate it for the first time Fruit & Chocolate Basket 😃 Even at such a time, everyone around I want ☺️ to do a lot of things that make me smile

Beautifully decorated Yokohama China town during chinese new year using red lantern, chinese hoardings and lantern dragons.

There is a climbing kiln that bakes pottery in Awaji City, Awaji Island. Only once a year in February, firewood is put in for 4 days without sleeping, the temperature is raised, and a large flame burns from the kiln in the back. Many works by potter Koichi Maeda are born in this kiln. There is such a scene in the morning drama Scarlett, and a time full of passion is wonderful, and slowly cools down over time, and a new work is born. The attitude of sparing no effort and working hard towards the goal was cool, and I learned a lot from it because I keenly realized that I have to face various things and work hard. I am very grateful that I made an appointment last year and had a valuable experience.

The shrine and its nearby area at China town, Yokohama were well decorated with lights and lanterns before the Chinese new year. It looks very beautiful and charming.

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.

Famous Dragon Dance during Chinese New Year Festival at Yokohama's famous China Town. The dragon dance is very cute, funny and interesting. It was a vibrant and colorful festival.

Vibrant and colorful attire, graceful performers ,jolly faces .... Every good things were present during the 38th Samba festival of Asakusa.

Although the samba dance is from Brazil but I saw it 1st time in Tokyo at Asakusa area. It was from 38th Asakusa Samba carnival in 2019. I was really very excited and happy to see it. Unfortunately from 2020 because of corona the event is not happening but I wish this 2022 I could see it again.

Things made by humans from the past to the present Nature is all good I wish ☺️ I could leave it for the future

On the occasion of Chinese new year the Yokohama China town was well decorated during pre corona situation in 2019. It was my first chance to enjoy Chinese new year in China Town. It was really a great fun. Wish after corona it will be back in full form.

I took a picture of Koinobori at Tokyo Skytree Station! It is at the time of the season. It's perfect for Japan occasions! It smells of a refreshing breeze and healing seasons.

I went there because I had the opportunity to see the Japanese umbrella lit up at Amanohashidate Chionji Temple, which I had wanted to visit for a long time. The fireworks festival after this was also good, but I personally liked Japanese Japanese and it was very beautiful.

Speaking of Japan summer, wind chimes On this day, there was a wind chime festival at Kogenji Temple in Tamba, and I went to be healed by wind chimes with my daughter and my dog. Just listening to it made me feel cool and reminded me of a nostalgic childhood.

Decided to donate some clothes I wasn't wearing anymore over the weekend so I decided to go to the Second Street in Minami-Senju. Managed to find some cool stuff along the way. I was walking from Minowabashi and saw this nice looking temple, apparently called Koshunin 公春院. It was a really lovely spot and I would have liked to take more photos but I had some luggage with me and also wanted to avoid taking any photos of the tombstones as I thought it might be rude. It seems the temple focus on memorial services though and looked like a nice place. The next spot I came across was just a really small shrine that seemed so randomly placed that I wanted to take a picture of it. There wasn't much space inside the shrine are so it was quite difficult to get a decent photo, but I did the best that I could and tried to take a photo from the side street next to it which was also incredibly narrow lol. The last thing I ended up finding was a statue of Matsuo Basho! I'd not been to Minami-Senju as I've never really had a reason to go there, but I saw the statue from the corner of my eye and thought "Hmm I wonder if that's Basho" and sure enough it was. It even has "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" 奥の細道 written below it. Also, apparently there is debate about which "Senju" he started at Adachi or Arakawa, so this is one of the statues depicting the place where he started his journey! It ended up being a pretty interesting walk. I'd like to visit the area again as there was a ton of cool stuff.

A store ❤ that never stops being as exciting as an adult toy box

The Oshataka Festival, which has been held in Akashi City for a long time, is a traditional event to pray for maritime safety and good fishing, but I couldn't see it for two years in a row due to Corona, but last year I was contacted by the person concerned that it was only a prayer and not as a festival only for my relatives, and Kobe Shimbun and I took a picture. Up permission etc.
