Sometime scenery View of Odaiba Bayside from a houseboat. It's around this time today that the waterside is comfortable. From all over the country, we heard about the opening of the river, the opening of the sea, and the topic of fireworks. This is Odaiba Bayside. If you look at the sea from the observation deck, attracted by the expansive scenery and the lights that shine in the dark night, you will see that there are many enviable targets such as houseboats, sightseeing boats, wind currents, and fairy tales. Even if it shakes, it shakes. I challenged with poor equipment without image stabilization and dared to sink ... If you enjoy looking at the atmosphere photos ...

Romantic silhouette of Okinawa Manzamo　 The view from about halfway between the two beaches of Manza Beach and Onna Seaside Park Nabi Beach. The weather in Okinawa is wild. I often encounter stormy weather when I travel, both domestically and overseas, but when I was driving here, it was pitch black all around, and it rained so much that it was difficult to drive, so I escaped to a parking lot near here. I was depressed in the car for a while, but I knew the change in the environment by the dazzling light that came through the window. When I looked, the sky cracked, and a vivid light blue peeked out into the heavy vision covered with grey and black, and a golden light shone on my face. End of April. A day when I felt the Omen of summer.

Funaya in Ine, Kyoto Whenever I look at it, I feel that it is amazing to be able to maintain this scenery even though it is close to the sea, and it seems that the reason why Ine Bay is less affected by disasters is because Qingdao, which becomes a bay, protects it.

The jacaranda, the flower that heralds early summer in Atami. Whether it will bloom or not is something you won’t know until the season arrives. The jacaranda is a bit capricious that way. Two trees gifted in 1990 from Atami’s sister city, Cascais in Portugal, have grown into more than 100 plantings today. Once native mainly to tropical regions, one of the world’s three great flowering trees has now come to announce early summer in Atami. Along the shore in June, clusters of small trumpet-shaped, blue-violet jacaranda flowers paint the sky like bouquets from Omiya Green Space to Sun Beach. Each year in early June during the blooming season, we hold the Jacaranda Festival. Legend says that if a flower falls on your head, happiness will come. How many will bloom this season? Come and see these precious purple blossoms.♪ *During the event period, light-ups will take place. Please note that blooming times may vary.* Event period / June 1, 2024 – June 16, 2024 Venue / Jacaranda Promenade (around Omiya no Matsu) Light-up hours / Daily during the above period from 18:00 to 22:00

Izu-Buntei Built in 1910 (Meiji 43), Izu-Buntei once housed a kimono merchant. In Matsuzaki, the town received the building as a donation from its owner and restored the interior as a valuable historic Meiji-era structure. It is now open as a free rest area. A footbath is also installed in the park beside Izu-Buntei.

Meiji Merchant House Nakase Residence The Nakase Residence was built in 1887 (Meiji 20) as the home of prosperous cloth merchant Naokichi Yoda (Yoda Naokichi Gofukuten). Because the shop name of Yoda Naokichi Gofukuten was “Nakase,” the house is now known as the Nakase Residence. In 1998 (Showa 63), Matsuzakicho purchased the large estate—seven buildings including the main house and storehouses—and opened the main house to the public as an ethnographic museum. The building showcases lavish craftsmanship, from its timberwork to its fine carvings and metal fittings, offering a glimpse into the life of a wealthy merchant of the era. In particular, the black-lacquered namako-style plaster wall finish of the storehouse built inside the main house can only be seen here in Matsuzakicho.

Yesterday, Saturday, February 24, we held the Atami Sea Fireworks Festival! The weather blessed the mid-holiday weekend day, and beautiful fireworks colored the night sky. The next event is on Wednesday, March 20, 2024 (a national holiday).

When I went down to the beach to take a picture of the sunset over the cave of Engetsujima, a scenic spot in Shirahama Town, Wakayama Prefecture, and was holding my camera to see if it was still or not, I was hit by a wave. However, my index finger pressed the shutter firmly and took a powerful photo.

The sea cave in the Nanki-Kumano Geopark area and the street lights of Tanabe City on the opposite bank come in, but you can still see the stars beautifully.

It is a sea cave in the Nanki-Kumano Geopark area, and it was formed by the erosion of the coast by waves and wind.
