The houses lined up by the sea look as if they are floating on the sea. The first floor housed boats, and the second floor was used as a drying area for nets and fishing gear. I was finally able to go to Ine's boathouse. I enjoyed the slow flow of time in a room without a TV and this view.

I went to Yuigahama Beach in Kanagawa Prefecture to take pictures with a friend who likes film cameras. It was just about the time the sun went down and it was reflected on the surface of the water, and it was very beautiful.

This is a photo taken when I went on a trip to Fukuoka. When I was walking along the coast of Itoshima, there was a tree that would not break even if a person rode on it. The student who came in matching clothes was very cute, and I just took a picture.

Omi Jingu Shrine in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture became a snowy landscape during the big cold wave The red gate was beautiful. Date 2023.01.25

This time I want to recommend abashiri, a city on the northeastern coast of hokkaido. A city that faced toward sea of okhotsk. During winter you can enjoy drift ice festival. During this season they organize Lake Abashiri smelt fishing. It was a once in a lifetime experience for us. Here in this picture we were actually walking on the frozen lake abashiri. Here one can walk in the middle of frozen lake.

My first trip since my daughter was born! It was a beautiful sea *^^*

A special seat with a view of the Tateyama mountain range. From Kurehayama Park in Toyama Prefecture, it is famous as a spot where you can overlook this majestic Tateyama mountain range. On this day, I could see the Tateyama mountain range beautifully and there were many photographers.

I went to the torii gate in the sky of Asama Shrine near Lake Kawaguchi It was sunrise. It was 😊 very beautiful Date 20203.02.04

Kyoto Toji Temple They went in search of snow that might or may not fall in the middle of the night and waved it, so I was able to shoot!

Mt. Fuji and the starry sky can be seen from the frozen Lake Yamanaka.

The clock tower in Sapporo is actually quite interesting. Please take a look inside!

Moerenuma Park / Sapporo Moerenuma-Park/Sapporo It is famous for its glass-walled buildings shaped like a triangular pyramid, but I dared to take a picture without showing it. I remember that there was a pleasant breeze blowing and it was very refreshing. I 😆 want to go to Hokkaido again. It is famous for its glass-fronted building shaped like a triangular pyramid, but I dared to take a picture without showing it. I remember it was very refreshing with a nice breeze blowing. I would like to visit Hokkaido again 😆.

Oshino Hakkai is a unique spot in the Fuji Five Lakes regional which is also a mount fuji world heritage site having super clear blue water pond. From there you can see a brilliant view of Mt.Fuji between traditional thatched roof buildings, and a slowly rotating water wheel, that will surely give you an old-day charm. Another good thing is this place is looks unique and charming in any season of the year.

Red Fuji 🗻 seen from Lake Yamanaka in winter The view of Mt. Fuji dyed red was truly superb. You can take such powerful photos. I thought it was only Mt. Fuji. using a telephoto lens

Shirakawago / Gifu Shirakawago / Gifu I visited with my family last summer. I took my breath away at the overwhelming presence of gassho-zukuri、、! Next time, I would 😁 like to see the simultaneous water discharge training in autumn and the snowy scenery in winter. Also, when you pass through the torii gate of the nearby Shirakawa Hachiman Shrine, the air changes completely and you are enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. Please come and visit us! I visited with my family last summer. The overwhelming presence of the gassho-zukuri took my breath away...!! I would like to visit again in the fall for the simultaneous water discharge drill and in the winter for the snowy scenery 😁. When you pass through the torii gate of the nearby Shirakawa Hachiman Shrine , The atmosphere changes dramatically and you are enveloped in a solemn atmosphere. I encourage you all to visit!

Cape Chinen Park is located in Nanjo City in the southern part of the main island of Okinawa. It is located near the World Heritage Site "Seiba Utaki". You can see the Pacific Ocean and see the sea about 250 degrees. On a sunny day, you can see the colorful cobalt blue sea, but unfortunately it is light cloudy on this day.

Binchuku Branch Temple in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture. Kibiji in autumn is a beautiful collaboration between the five-storied pagoda and autumn leaves.

Binchuku Branch Temple in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture. In autumn, rice fields with harvested rice can be seen on Kibiji.

"Kobe, rediscovered" The sixth stage of the series will deliver the art port city of Kobe. The large hotel is located on a protruding wharf in the harbor and is moored by various large ships such as luxury liners. I like it best when a sailing ship is docked Japan Maru in the photo, and the port already has the atmosphere of an overseas resort! The hotel's wave-inspired design is very artistic, and the sailing ship that moves with the power of the wind is truly the ultimate in functional beauty. And in the background, the sunrise of the great nature was painted. At this time of the morning, people are walking and running... I often use Twitter, and when I posted photos of this hotel, I often received replies saying that it was a place of memories. I pray that the city of people, the sky, and the sea will continue to create many memories in the future.

Nature itself is a treasure to any true traveler. But this place is literally a treasure hunt spot in Japan. Itoigawa's Jade Beach is a special place and one can guess that by its name. This beautiful pebble beach stretches 4 km from east to west and jade stones wash onto the shore after a day of strong waves, and tourists can be seen enjoying themselves searching for fresh jade stones. We also picked up some stones and the experience was truly amazing.

Monet's pond/Gifu Monet's pond/Gifu I visited here on the last day of my first family trip in Gifu Prefecture. This pond was just like Monet's "Water Lilies"! It seems to look different depending on the weather. The nearby Nedo Shrine is also a highlight. My first family trip in a long time was to Gifu Prefecture and we visited here on the last day. This pond was just like Monet’s "Water Lillies"!!. It looks different depending on the weather. The nearby Nemihi-Shrine is also a must-see.

Hida Miyata/Gifu Hida-Miyada/Gifu I stumbled upon this station on the way from Hida Takayama to Gero Onsen on a family trip, and stopped by. The air was clear, the blue sky was beautiful, and the railroad tracks seemed to go on forever. I thought it was important not only to think but also to act on your own. I happened to find this station on my way from Hida-Takayama to Gero-Onsen Gero-Hot Springs on my family vacation and stopped by. The air was clear, the blue sky was beautiful, and the railroad line seemed to go on forever. I thought it was important to take action on the spur of the moment and not just think about it.

It is sunrise over Onaruto Bridge in Tokushima Prefecture. Speaking of the Naruto Strait, the whirlpool seen from the top of the bridge is famous, but the Naruto Strait seen from under the bridge is very mysterious because the seawater flows like a river even though it is the sea. When the morning sun shines there, you can see a superb view that is impossible to speak.

Red Fuji seen from Lake Yamanaka The temperature was very low, so there was a little ice on this day. I was very satisfied to see the scenery that can only be seen in this season.

Ine Bay Scenery Ine in Kyotango, Kyoto Prefecture Even if there is light pollution at night, Countless stars shine and you can see the Milky Way clearly even with the naked eye, and it is quite a recommended spot to see as if you were in a planetarium, and you can 😯 see the stars from a hill from the roadside station.

Kibara School in Iida, Nagano Prefecture It is a wonderful location that will leave the viewer at ease, different from the powerful view with the large weeping cherry blossoms and wooden school building used as a movie location. I'm looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom again this year.

This water Shangri-La of Gunma prefecture is a hidden treasure that I found out t last spring. Minakami has all the things that give one peace. I don't know why this place is so underrated, at least among foreigners, since it's only an hour away from Tokyo by Shinkansen. I would want that everyone visits this place during spring, autumn, or snowy winter. Because this city is unique in every season
