Kabira Bay 2023.07 Memories of my trip to Okinawa Since it was close to evening, I was able to take a picture when no one was around. You can't swim in Kabira Bay because the tide stream fast, but you can take a walk in the bay in a glass boat. You can relax while looking at the seabed in the beautiful bay.

Fuchu, Hiroshima (Recommended Spot in Hiroshima) #Bingo Kokufu Festival One piece ? with handmade fireworks from the Bingo Kokufu Festival held the other day I tried hand-held fireworks again this year, but I couldn't take the best photos because I couldn't ? take continuous shots at the right time due to the clogged buffer I thought this was the most decent, so I'll ? put it out first The cheap shutter release doesn't feel like you're pressing the button, and when you think you can't press it, you turn it inside out, or if you press it forcefully, it locks, and you can't stop continuous shooting, and the camera is out of breath and the shutter can't be released. (Hiroshima dialect) It was! ?

Hiroshima Fukuyama Tomonoura 　 (Hiroshima Recommendation festival Spot) #Shinto ritual #Numana Shrine One piece ? with a festivals man carrying flames from the fire paper　 He also had ? a good expression with enthusiasm

Hiroshima Fukuyama Tomonoura 　 (Hiroshima Recommendation festival Spot) #Shinto ritual #Numana Shrine One of the three major fire Festival of Japan, the Flame Paper Festival, is a hot festival in which three large torches weighing 150 kg are carried up and slowly ascended over a three-hour period while taking turns on the stone steps to the worship hall. The Chinese at the festivals were covered with sparks and covered with water! It was very powerful! Will the camera burn? Or will it get wet? I'm determined to take on the challenge of shooting! All the photographers were sweaty and amazing! ? It was too much fun, but it was ? too exhausting It will last for a while!

Farm Tomita! Colorful flowers and lavender? in the back It's really beautiful, isn't it? ✨ It's great ? to take a walk in a place like this Photo taken on ? 7/13

Summer in Okinawa "Eisa" / Speaking of summer in Okinawa, it is "Acer". On July 7th, I went to the Okinawaya Eisa Festival held on Kokusai Street. Eisa is a dance to send the spirits of ancestors to the other world on the Kyu-Bon, and it is an event in which people parade around the village while beating large drums and drums and dancing with their hands on the song sanshin. We also pray for the safety of each family and the safety of their families. The performance of jumping in the second half of the performance was a masterpiece! After this, we will make many jumps. In the heat, this performance is amazing! It is the biggest attraction of the Sakaeguchi Youth Association. At this time, it started to rain, but the performance was completed safely until the end.

It has become reliable. ^^) I hope that this child will grow up and carry on the traditions of Okinawa. The sound of the Drums heard nearby is powerful and really touches my heart.

At the Eisa Festival, youth associations in each region perform dances, so it's great to see various types of performances! It is actively held in various places from July ~ August. It was very hot on this day, but when I heard the sound of Eisa's big Drum and tightening Drum, I wanted to sing with Acer Acer♬ and my blood started to rush ^^ I forgot about the heat!

When the Gion Festival begins, Kyoto's Ume plum rain dawns and summer begins. The photo was taken by my wife in front of me. I aimed at the smartphone screen from behind and took a picture.

One of the Specialties of the Gion Festival. Dance of the umbrella halberd. The atmospheric appearance of a boy heading to the dance I only took a picture of the silhouette.

A bowl towering majestically at the venue of the Gion Festival. I've been seen by various people for a long time. A lot of drama is born When I think that it is filled with the thoughts of many people I felt very emotional.

Inside the venue of the Gion Festival The smoke from the stalls is illuminated by the lights, It creates a live feeling as if Yamaboko is standing on the stage It turned out to be a fantastic view.

Wide. Wide. A tourist hill that spreads out on the land. Biei is a hill. Restrooms available is not Nature itself. Because there are various vegetables, grains, flowers, and other human activities, It's going to be this patchwork pattern. "Shikisai no Oka" has vast fields, experiences typical of Hokkaido, and Pension It is an entertainment garden that symbolizes Biei. I quoted from the website. Memories of Hokkaido It is a scenery unique to Hokkaido, where flowers bloom all at once in July and August.
