sunset This is a view of Lake Yamanaka. In addition to the sunset, Mt. Fuji, and small boats, it is very nice. If you have time, why not stop by? At Lake Yamanaka, Yamanashi 2022/5/2

Went to Karuizawa for Golden Week! We booked our shinkansen tickets well in advance so we were basically flipping a coin with the weather, but it still managed to be a really fun trip despite 2/3 days being rain. We were able to do a lot of shopping at the outlet mall near the station and other places in the area on the first and third days when it rained so it worked out perfectly. My girlfriend's friend was headed back home from Tokyo the same direction we were headed so she stayed one night with us and then we were able to all hang out and go shopping in Karuizawa for most of the day after which she hopped back on the shinkansen towards home. The second day was really nice weather, despite being just a bit chilly, but it was still nice enough that we were able to rent some bicycles and ride around the area. The place where we rented the bikes gave us a nice sightseeing route to go on and so we were able to see a bunch of different places and use our time effectively. When we were headed into town we crossed a bridge and there was a nice view of Mt. Asama with a ton of fisherman fishing along the river below the bridge. It was a pretty cool sight. We even got to see someone catch a fish as well. We obviously went to Shiraito Falls as well and it was really beautiful. There was a sign behind that described how the water took around 5 years to come out of the ground where the waterfall was or something to that effect as well. The path leading up the waterfall was quite neat as well, with the river running next to it and a giant fallen tree with more smaller waterfalls to go with it. There was also two wooden carvings of the characters from Demon Slayer (鬼滅の刃) which was interesting. The food in the area was delicious as well. We were staying at a pension and we only had breakfast with our stay, so we ended up going to another pension where they had yakiniku and we got a pretty good price for a massive platter of food. I was so full at the end I'm not sure how I made it back to where we were staying for the night lol. The third day we did some shopping up at Harunire Terrace (ハルニレテラス) and we kind of just relaxed in the area. It was a pretty trendy place surrounded by nature and there was a hot spring up the road as well. We wanted to go in the hot spring but there was a pretty long line so we decided to pass. We ate dinner at one of the restaurants at the terrace and while all of the indoor seats were taken, we were able to get some outdoor seating. It was cold out so I didn't think it would be a good idea, but they had some heaters outside and blankets and it was actually quite enjoyable. Had a lot of fun and it was a really great place. We might travel there again during the summer when it's warmer as well or maybe in autumn when the leaves change color. I definitely recommend giving it a visit!

At Aikawa Waterfront Park in Tarui Town, Gifu Prefecture Carp streamers have been swimming on the river since the end of March. If you are at the end of March ~ beginning of April, you can see cherry blossoms as shown in the photo, and Mt. Ibuki covered with snow in the back.

Ena City, Gifu Prefecture Sakaori Terraced Rice Fields In May, the water is covered and you can see the beautiful countryside. Around the new moon, you can see the Milky Way at midnight and the starry sky. Many photographers gather at sunrise time. As an aside, about 10 minutes by car from here is Gifu Bungee, where you can bungee jump, the highest in Japan.

The wisteria trellis, which is full of Japan types of wisteria, is a masterpiece. Wake District, Okayama Wisteria Park

This flower was taken when I went to Nakayamaji Temple in Takarazuka City. Wisteria was over. I don't know what kind of flower it is, but I took it because it was beautiful. (Sagiso?) )

There was a spot near my house where dark pink cherry blossoms and light pink cherry blossoms bloomed, and I went to take pictures. Usually, the dark pink blooms first and the timing does not match well, but this year I was able to capture two different colors of cherry blossoms at the same time.

It is inside the cauldron seen from the summit of Mt. Yotei in the middle of winter. It is a superb view of nature where there is nothing superfluous except white, blue and shadows.

"Golden Glow" I took this photo at a temple near my home. Yamabuki is in full bloom.

This is one of the photos taken from below when I participated in an exploration tour of the Aokigahara Forest in Yamanashi Prefecture.

I changed jobs this spring and took over my family's farm. Start a new life with a new feeling. While working surrounded by nature, the bees are getting along with each other. "A little spring has come here too," Pashari said. I will do my best.

Nyoirinji Temple in Ona City, Fukuoka Prefecture. It is also called "Frog Temple" because there are about 3,000 stone statues and figurines of frogs placed in the precincts. #Nature #Photo Contest #Fukuoka Prefecture #Frog #Temple

I wanted my children to experience places rich in nature, so I visited "Sagotani Farm (Kubo Agri Farm)" It is around mid-April. Full bloom! I'm glad I visited.

Where is the rabbit?

Gifu Prefecture Hirata Tsuzumi Road. I wonder if I want to be a cherry tree too?! This photo was taken when I went for a walk to see the cherry blossoms. Whether she was conscious of it or not, the color of the clothes that my daughter chose for herself was just like a cherry blossom tree... Such a daughter's talent? Sensitivity? It was a moment of surprise and pride, and a tremendous sense of stupidity. #Nature #Photo Contest #Cherry blossoms #Cherry blossom trees #Embankment #Tough Road #nature #photocontest #cherryblossom #embankment #yukieroad

Gifu Prefecture Hirata Tsuzumi Road. The cherry blossoms that have begun to fall more than they are in full bloom are also beautiful. Beauty that can only be felt by walking. #Nature #Photo Contest #Cherry blossoms #Cherry blossom trees #Embankment #Tough road #Unprocessed #nature #photocontest #cherryblossom #embankment #yukieroad #nofilter

Along the branch line of the Tokaido Main Line, between Shin-Tarui Station and Sekigahara Station. A land that has been habited for decades. Now that I walk less and less, there was a beauty that could only be encountered by using my feet. The appearance of nature without human intervention. The beauty of dignified bamboo and the pleasant and beautiful song of leaves whispering in the wind. I felt the beauty of nature with all five senses. Now that we are adults, our horizons tend to narrow and we tend to lose our mental space, we realize the joy and importance of feeling nature with our whole body. I also want to value what can be obtained in nature in the countryside, where there are fewer children.

A temple in Tarui Town, Gifu Prefecture. Brahma bells seem to be fewer these days. With the sunset sky in the background, you can almost hear the sound of the Brahma bell. And the shape of the cloud is instantaneous. You will never encounter the same thing again. I could feel the vitality of the clouds. One brand called [countryside]...
