Oshi Castle, located in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture, has a rich history dating back to the late 15th century. Despite facing numerous attacks, this formidable castle never succumbed. While the original structure no longer stands, visitors can still witness the earthen foundation of the main castle, the towering stone walls, the Korai Gate, and other fascinating ruins. The reconstructed "Three-storied Tower" from the Edo Period now houses captivating exhibits, offering visitors a glimpse into the past. Ascend to the observation room on the highest floor for a breathtaking view of Gyoda City. My visit at twilight revealed an eerily silent and empty atmosphere, evoking the enchanting aura of this ancient site.

It is the Fujiya Hotel in Hakone Miyanoshita. It is one of the classic hotels in Japan. The building, which has an unusual design that is a mix of Japanese and Western, makes you feel the history of Japanese hotels.

It is a tea house in Suwa in the Tomi Garden of the Imperial Palace. Anyone can enter the Tomi Garden for free, and some of them are the ruins of the castle tower of Edo Castle. Suwa no Chaya is a Japanese house located in Ninomaru Garden. Why don't you take a stroll?

It is a spectacle bridge on the former Shinetsu Main Line. From Karuizawa to Yokogawa, which is Famous for the Kamameshi of the mountain pass If you head there, you can see it. It is no longer used and has become a historical relic.

The sculptures at the Chichibu Treasure Climbing Shrine were gorgeous, and I couldn't help but take a picture. The fineness of the carvings and the vividness of the colors are all wonderful. It is a workmanship that makes you feel Cool Japan.

It is a bamboo forest of Hokokuji Temple in Kamakura. Bamboo forests, which are not so rare for Japanese people, also seem to be popular with foreigners. However, the bamboo forest at Hokokuji Temple well maintained very beautiful, so why not go there?

It is the Marunouchi station building of Tokyo Station that everyone knows. It is a symbol of the history of Japan's railways. After completion in 1914, it was partially destroyed during the Pacific War, and restoration work was completed in 2012. I think the spirit of trying to restore historical buildings to their original state is cool Japan.

I took a picture of the round window of Meigetsu-in Temple in Kita-Kamakura. Famous as a hydrangea temple, the iris garden behind the round window is also wonderful. It's cool Japan to make a window with such a design.

The Fujimi Tower of the Imperial Palace and the buildings of Marunouchi show the contrast between the historic Edo period architecture and modern architecture.

The Edo Castle, once the largest fortress, was transformed into the imperial residence Kōkyo after the shogunate fell and the emperor moved to Tokyo. The castle was significantly damaged by fires in 1873 and again during WWII air raids. The moats and stone walls visible around the palace grounds are remnants of the original castle. This location is a popular spot for tourists from all over the world. I captured this photo of the palace during a snowy twilight, when there were very few tourists around. They were struck by the rare beauty of the palace during the snowfall and found it especially captivating to see a lone woman enjoying the serene scene.

Carp streamers festival in Suzukawa As part of Suzukawa's environmental protection activities and the healthy development of children, each family had their unwanted Carp streamers swim, but when I see Carp streamers swimming energetically under the blue sky with Mt. Fuji in the background, I feel Spring every year.

Akitani / Tateishi Coast I have been going here several times a year for more than 30 years to see Mt. Fuji. This landscape, painted by the Edo period landscape painter Hiroshige Ando under the title "Aishu Miura Akiya no Sato," is a typical Japanese landscape, and personally, the sunset of Mt. Fuji and the single pine tree that grows wild on the rocky shore make me feel nostalgic.

It is the Usui Third Bridge, commonly known as the "Megane Bridge". It is the largest brick arch bridge in Japan and was completed in the Meiji era.
