This photo was also taken at the Flower Culture Garden. Various wind chimes were displayed everywhere. The tone was so pure that even I, who usually listen to music while shooting, involuntarily took off my earphones. It is a piece of confidence that I used as much as I could use the techniques that I could use in the shooting.

This is a photo of when I went to the wind chime temple in Uji. The Scene with beautiful wind chime such as blue and red are lined up in an orderly manner is also beautiful, but when the wind blows and the wind chime illuminated by the sun, it is beautiful and I felt cool. In addition, there are teru teru bozu and sunflower wind chimes that you won't notice unless you look closely, so you can enjoy it both visually and audibly!

#Lake Rokaku Toro Nagashi and Fireworks Festival #Shinshu Shinmachi

A Long-Awaited Hike up Mt. Shiraiwa 👟

From the 13th to the 17th, the town road Hon’yashiki–Hagisen reopened to regular vehicles, so I left my car at Gokasecho Highland Ski Area’s Ski Center and hiked up Mt. Shiraiwa 💪

Because the management road up to the ski area still prohibits ordinary cars, I first headed on foot for the Gobobatake trailhead ✨

About 30 minutes after starting, I reached the Gobobatake trailhead 💡
From there I set off on my long-awaited hike up Mt. Shiraiwa 😊

The trail was rough at first, but it was generally easy to walk and the cool weather made the climb comfortable ✨
At the summit I exchanged valuable information and learned about conditions on nearby peaks 👍

The photos show an asagi-madara butterfly and alpine wildflowers I encountered along the way 🥰
It felt great to hike Mt. Shiraiwa again and it was a refreshing experience 😆

Part 2: During the summer, a Taiwanese student staying in Tateyama experienced the Tateyama Bay Fireworks Festival.
We received wonderful photos, videos, and impressions, so here they are!

✨ Pure joy beneath the summer night sky 🌌🎆
The Tateyama Fireworks Festival in Chiba was absolutely magical — even more spectacular this year!
The highlight? Definitely the underwater fireworks 🌊💫 — shimmering bursts that danced across the sea’s surface like something out of a dream.

My favorite moment was watching the golden willow-shaped fireworks drift gently down, like glowing branches swaying in the breeze… truly breathtaking.

And of course, no festival is complete without tasty treats — the butter-fried potatoes were crispy, golden, and totally addictive 🥔😋

Huge thanks to the amazing staff and organizers for making this unforgettable night possible. Already counting down the days until next year!

The Tateyama fireworks in Chiba were truly like a dream. This year felt more grand than ever!
The standout was without doubt the underwater fireworks 🌊💫 — sparks twinkling on the sea like a dream.

What moved me most was the sight of golden willow-shaped fireworks slowly descending, like shining branches swaying in the wind… absolutely breathtaking.

And of course, festival food is essential. The butter-fried potatoes were crispy and golden — utterly addictive 🥔😋

Many thanks to the wonderful staff and organizers; I’m already looking forward to next year’s festival!

Hello to everyone watching Cool Japan videos, nice to meet you!
We are the Shimanto City Tourism Association in Kochi Prefecture.
Shimanto City lies in the southwest of Kochi Prefecture, bounded to the north by mountains around 1,100 meters high and to the south by the Pacific Ocean, making it a city rich in nature.
The city was formed in 2005 by the merger of the former Nakamura City and Nishitosa Village, and its name comes from the Shimanto River that runs through the city. On this account, we will deliver the many charms of Shimanto City to you. We look forward to sharing them with you!

🌊 The waters of Atami are always full of mystery and beauty.

Beneath the surface of the water, there is another world that is disconnected from everyday life.
🪸 Brightly colored soft corals, 🐟 schools of fish, wrecks ⚓ that have spent many years quietly in the sea.
All of them give you new discoveries and impressions every time you dive.

⚓ Atami Wreck Point is one of the most popular diving spots in Japan.
The hull, which is about 80 meters long, lies on the seabed as if welcoming divers, and is home to countless creatures.
From Spring to summer, the shadows of the fish become even darker, and 🐠 the feeling of moving through the school that swims around the hull is like being part of the sea.

🚉 Atami is only 90 minutes from Tokyo and has good Access, so it is a nice point that you can easily go on a day trip.
🤿 You will be accompanied by an experienced guide, so even if you are new to wreck diving, you can try it with confidence.
The light shining into the interior of the wreck, the soft coral swaying, and the silence drifting on the seabed.
All of this is a special experience that you will never get on land.

🍂 Diving shows a different look in each season, so you will never get tired of it no matter how many times you visit.
Especially in autumn, the water temperature is high and the transparency is good, making it ideal for taking a closer look at the entire wreck.

If you are thinking "I want to do a wreck dive someday", please take this opportunity to go to the waters of Atami.
🌊 Why don't you take a deep breath and step into the blue and quiet unknown?

----------------

🌈 Hokule'a Shonan is a dive shop located in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa Prefecture!

Glutton Kuishinbo — Special Edition: Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture

City dwellers, why not soothe your eyes and soul with Shinshu’s clear rivers and air, towering mountains, and lush green forests?
In the second special edition of Glutton Kuishinbo Kasai, I visited Omachi City in Nagano Prefecture. I went to Kannon Bridge over the Takase River that runs through Omachi City!
Actually, I accompanied my younger son to his baseball game at the ballpark next door, and this spot with its incredible scenery caught my eye‼️ Even as a native of Nagano, I was stunned by this view.

According to Google, “In particular, the water of the Takase Gorge sometimes appears emerald green due to the mixing of fine particles from weathered granite and colloidal sulfur particles.” It’s an amazingly beautiful color, isn’t it❗️
Please come to Nagano Prefecture and let yourself be healed by this place🎐


◎ Kannon Bridge, Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture
📍 Tokiwa, Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture



Are you tired from so many jobs? You need rest, healing, or just to chill. In this second special edition of Kuishinbo Kasai, I had the pleasure of visiting Omachi City in Nagano Prefecture. This is Omachi City in Nagano Prefecture. There is abundant nature, beautiful rivers, and mountains.
I went to my boy’s baseball game in Omachi City. The Takase River and Kannon Bridge were next to the ballpark. I was born in Nagano and have known its nature since childhood. Still, the sight before me was unbelievably beautiful…
I asked Mr. Google. It says, “In particular, the water of the Takase Gorge sometimes appears emerald green due to the presence of fine particles from weathered granite and colloidal sulfur particles.”
We warmly invite you to Nagano Prefecture — come and experience its soothing, restorative charm for yourself.
