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.

During Golden Week, colorful Carp streamers appear in front of the main entrance on the first floor of Tokyo Tower. Carp streamers began when they decorated streamers in the shape of carp in hopes of the healthy growth of boys during the Dragon Boat Festival, but 333 Carp streamers were displayed to match the height of Tokyo Tower at 333m. It is spectacular to see them fluttering in the wind and swimming in the sky in unison.

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.

History of Kawagoe and Sunset 🌇 This is the bell of time in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture. Kawagoe, also known as Koedo, is said to have been the first city lined with merchant houses in warehouses. It is said that it came to be called Koedo because it was "a town that flourished like Edo". It is a place 🤤 that you should definitely visit in Saitama Prefecture

Photographed 5/15/24. It is Hanachozu of Kawagoe Hachimangu Shrine Sando.

After the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival, I relaxed at the Starbucks Bell Ring Street store. Starbucks Strawberry Frappuccino and Strawberry & Custard Tart. 🍓

From the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Dome. It makes me think often that no matter how much the economy develops, no matter how many times go on, no matter how much life becomes richer, there are some histories that should never be forgotten or repeated.

Wrapped in an arch of roses 　　　　　　　　　　Tokyo Tower🗼 This is one photo taken from Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Since its opening in 1958, it has been watching over the city as a symbol of Tokyo for about 60 years. It is said that the construction technology of that time is so advanced that it is said that it cannot be reproduced now. It has been earthquake-resistant for more than 60 years in Japan, an earthquake-prone country, and I felt that it was the crystallization of craftsmanship. Why don't you enjoy matching with modern roses? 🌹

The Genbaku Dome, also known as the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, is a haunting UNESCO World Heritage site that stands as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima during World War II. This solemn monument serves as a symbol of peace and a fervent plea to put an end to the use of nuclear weapons. Originally the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall, the Genbaku Dome was left standing in its ruined state to honor the lives lost and to inspire hope for a peaceful future.

"Abashiri Prison" Abashiri Prison is said to have the strictest prison escape in Japan. The history of this prison, which was also entrusted with the defense and development of Hokkaido, was conveyed something when I saw the building.

"Satsuma Pass" 　　 What is Satsuma Pass? He was a Ukiyoe artist of the Edo period It was also depicted in Utagawa Hiroshige's "Tokaido Fifty-Three Years" Known for its spectacular views of Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay At a mountain pass that was a difficult place on the Tokaido Highway connecting Yui inn and Okitsu inn The night view here is good if the weather is good You can see Mt. Fuji beautifully and it is a superb view. This photo is a photo that I managed to take many times by car for about 5 hours from Shiga, and I have a great feeling.

"Feast of the Old Castle" Built in 1622 Genwa 8 Hikone Castle is one of the five castles designated as a national treasure. Fireworks go up grandly from behind Hikone Castle. It was like a banquet in an old castle.

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. It seems that 5/15 is the annual festival of the pox shrine in Setsha. The photo was taken on May 3, and the moeki-colored sea bream lottery was gone today.

During my visit to western Japan last autumn, my final stop was Hiroshima. Despite its tragic history, the city serves as a powerful symbol of resilience, much like the phoenix rising from the ashes. The Hiroshima Castle, which was reconstructed after being destroyed in World War II, stands as a testament to this resilience. The castle grounds provide a peaceful retreat with a variety of trees and flowers, creating a beautiful and tranquil setting for visitors. Inside the castle tower, the museum offers a chance to explore the rich history of the Hiroshima castle town and provides breathtaking views of the city from the observation platform at the top.
