Spring in Japan is all about cherry blossoms. Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom earlier than Someiyoshino, signaling that spring is near. The wild bird "Mejiro", which had never been seen before, is coming in search of nectar from Kawazu cherry blossoms. Kawazu cherry blossoms shine in the bright blue sky, and if there is a komejiro, it is "the first in spring". In a world where war is spreading, while looking at the Kawazu cherry blossoms on a calm day, I feel that I am happy to have been born in such a wonderful country.

Edo Kiriko's rock glass "Spectacle" that looks like a large flower blooming You can see that the idea of making the user look the most beautiful is incorporated into the design of the work.

It was filmed in Akabane, and the weather was very good at the time!

Tokyo Station in the middle of the night I didn't know that the lights went out at 21 o'clock. But I got a good photo, so the result is alright!

We held an exchange event with elementary schools in Hachioji. We talked about each country and played games together, including tag. There was also a first-time school lunch experience. They said there is no school lunch in the countries (Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal). They said it was very delicious ✨

📍 Tokyo / Tokyo Tower Tokyo Tower peeks out from between high-rise condominiums. I feel that it is the scenery of a modern building.

📍 Tokyo / Seiki Sakuragaoka This slope is familiar from anime and commercials. I tried to cut it from a different angle.

Location: Okutama Thoughts when shooting Imagining what life would be like in this place, I involuntarily clicked the shutter. It was like entering the world of the sunset on 3-chome.

Location: Scenery found on the way to the old road in Okutama Town Thoughts when shooting: I felt like I had traveled back in time, and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic

品川区 蛇窪神社, Tokyo Hanachozu ✨ shining in the quiet precincts The combination of crystals and flowers was beautiful and I was fascinated.

Nature creates some of the astonishing wonders just like this. This huge snow wall is breathtakingly stunning. This time I visited lake shikotsu ice festival. Amazingly beautiful.

We held a Setsubun event. The students made oni masks, and each one showed a unique personality! There were traditional Japanese oni and oni from other countries. Which oni do you think is the scariest?

Tokyo Asakusa! Snowy scenery of Sensoji Temple. Rare Tokyo snow, exciting!

Tokyo station🚉 Last night was a heavy snowfall that occurs ☃ only once in several years This time, I took a picture of the classic Tokyo station and snow. As it is a famous place, it was 🤣 overflowing with many photographers

Shiofune kannonji temple located in Tokyo's ome city is known for the godess of mercy. During the azalea festival the temple surrounding looks very beautiful. It is one of my favorite tourist destination neat Tokyo.

This is a little farther ahead, but our school will participate in a multicultural photo exhibition in Hachioji on Sunday, March 24. Please see the photos for details. On the day, students will introduce their own countries and assist with cross-cultural experiences. The exhibits from other organizations are also very interesting. Please come and see them!

Keyakizaka winter illumination is one of the most popular illumination in Tokyo. I enjoyed this beautiful winter illumination on a hop on bus. I enjoyed the beautiful view of tokyo tower from the bus as well. It was a really a memorable day for me.

Have you heard of Myanmar rock-paper-scissors? In Myanmar’s version, players compete as the Tiger, the Police, or the Gun. The Tiger beats the Police but loses to the Gun. The Police lose to the Tiger but beat the Gun (because they can control it). The Gun loses to the Police but beats the Tiger. That’s the power relationship! 🐯👮‍♀️🔫 The photo on the left shows the Police pose, and the right shows the Tiger pose. At our school, students from Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Mongolia study together. The students get along very well across nationalities and show mutual respect for each other’s cultures 😊 They chat in Japanese in class, so their conversation skills improve.

Tokyo Adachi Fireworks Festival Summer is a fireworks festival, but I feel a little lonely because it feels like summer ends as soon as the fireworks end. It's a sight you won't want to forget forever.

One of my very heart touching memories in Japan which I want preserve in my mind for ever is the spring trip to Tokyo. During the trip my wife and her friend wore Japanese kimono and enjoyed cherry blossom. It give us an authentic and Traditional charms of Japan. Japanese traditional dress and japanese national flower a very nostalgic memory.

View from the observation deck of Sunshine City * '艸'* It's good that the clouds are in shadow and hanging over the building.

Gotokuji. I'm shooting in winter, but the autumn leaves are still very beautiful. It seems that you will see various faces in each season. It has a calm atmosphere and few people, so it is recommended for those who want to enjoy a date slowly. The wheelbarrow is just like Japan!

There is actually a valley in Todoroki Ryokuchi. It's a very clear place with very clear air, and it's perfect for a date. There is a statue with a mysterious atmosphere a short walk away. You can take a different face every time you take a picture, so if you are a photographer, please go and take a picture.

I went to Seilon Green, a Sri Lankan restaurant five minutes on foot from Hachioji Station, tucked behind Don Quijote. The building itself has a very unique shape that many say resembles a Minecraft Nether Fortress. I tried kottu, a Sri Lankan casual dish. Kottu is made by stir-frying wheat-based noodles with vegetables. It was a bit spicier than other Hachioji restaurants I’ve tried before, so the sweetness and fizz of the ginger beer (a Sri Lankan soft drink) felt refreshing in my mouth. With more Sri Lankan students enrolling at our school, I’m really happy to have a Sri Lankan restaurant in Hachioji. When I told the students I’d eaten there, they were very pleased. I plan to try another dish next time. 😊

Chofu City, Tokyo Shindaiji Temple Soba Yayaki In the midst of the intense heat, I found a cool hydrangea flower hand water at the Shindaiji temple where I stopped. The crystal clear water and lively hydrangeas were beautiful and seemed to forget the heat.

Late night streets of Tokyo from above.
