It was the first time I went to Kamikochi. I love Nature and was finally able to go, and I felt my heart beating. The saturation of blue and green was high, and the voices of birds and the sound of water seeped into my heart. Even though it was summer, it was cool and comfortable. My favorite place that I want to Outbound again.

This is a photo taken when I traveled to the Rurikei Highlands in Kyoto with my friends. The cool air that you can't feel in the city, the sound of leaves rustling, the sound of water, the voices of animals, sounds that you should be able to hear even in the city. It was a trip that reminded me of how much we are usually deprived of sight and hearing by things that are close to us. Goats, cute.

I was born in Niigata, but I Outbound to Sado for the first time in the summer Vacation. When I visited Sado, I was able to go to a Local festivals at the right time, and this is one of the photos there. The Shishigajo Festival, Held in during the Obon season, is a Local Festival Held in in the Sawada area, and there is a Fireworks Fantasy There are in which music and fireworks perform together in the Finale. When Fireworks went off one after another in time with the song, the audience cheered and Gari sang along. The fireworks launched at close range on the Ocean were powerful enough to and with a thud on the body.

Hiroshima Prefecture visit yellowtail for more than 15 years, in Miyajima. Since I headed there after running errands, the time was around 18 o'clock, so I couldn't Prayer Shrine, but I decided to take a walk around Miyajima at dusk. While walking near the Torii (shrine gate) gate nestled in the low tide, I captured the moment I suddenly visited in my camera. The sight of the deer, who is said to be the messenger of the gods (and wearing magnificent horns), looking at the Torii (shrine gate) gate at dusk, was full of divinity, as if he was staring at the faces of his master.

Enoshima - in the middle of the road Bridging the Everyday and the Extraordinary It's been a few months since I started working and moved to Tokyo I moved to GW, so it was my first long vacation I thought about returning to my Local Hokkaido, but the plane was 80,000 yen round trip ....

All ten of Shimoda’s beaches closed their swimming season on August 31. Thank you to everyone who visited this year. After the season ends, designated swimming and surf zones disappear, and regulations such as "prohibited," "caution," or "permitted" no longer apply; lifeguards and beach patrols that were on duty at the bathing sites are withdrawn. A water-accident advisory is also in effect. With hot days likely to continue, please take care of weather, water temperature, and wave conditions if you go swimming. Be equally careful around other bodies of water. Even outside the official swimming season, you can still enjoy time by the sea as marine therapy. For marine sports, there are experiences suitable for beginners, including sea kayaking, surf lessons, and diving. Simply walking the shore and breathing the salt-tinged air can have the benefits of marine therapy. Spread a sheet on the sand and relax while watching the sea or getting lost in a book. As summer’s bustle fades, the autumn sea becomes clear and calm. Shimoda’s sea is worth visiting even after the swimming season ends.✨ We look forward to seeing you (^o^)

This is a photo taken in the Spring of 2024 when I went to see the Tsuru no Mai Bridge in Tsuruta Town, Aomori Prefecture with my parents. The scenery of Mt. Iwaki and Tsuru no Mai Bridge was very beautiful. I would like to go there with my family again.

[Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture] “Japan’s Last Pristine River, the Shimanto River” — a river where people live alongside the water and that sustains a culturally rich landscape ☞ What is the Shimanto River? …………………………………………… The Shimanto River originates on Mt. Irizuyama in Tsuno Town, Kochi Prefecture (elevation 1,336 m). It runs 196 km in total, with 35 main tributaries and 319 tributary streams overall. The river meanders through the southwestern part of Kochi Prefecture—including Yusuhara, Nakatosa, Shimanto Town, and Shimanto City—flowing without steep drops before emptying into the Pacific Ocean at Shimanto City Shimoda. …………………………………………… ☞ Where the name “Japan’s Last Pristine River” comes from …………………………………………… The Shimanto River, where residents still live close to the water, gained the symbolic label “Japan’s Last Pristine River” after a 1983 television broadcast. That description created a brand image of a clear, life-filled river running from its source to the sea. …………………………………………… ☞ What the Shimanto River provides. …………………………………………… Nurturing abundant life, the Shimanto River and its wide estuarine areas host around 200 species of aquatic life. Even today, some fishers sustain their livelihoods using traditional methods such as late-season sweetfish (ayu) fishing, fire-fishing, long-armed shrimp fishing, goby fishing, and green seaweed harvesting. These practices preserve deep ties between people and the river and a living culture of work. …………………………………………… ☞ Activities on the Shimanto River. …………………………………………… On the Shimanto River you can enjoy canoeing, stand-up paddleboarding, cycling, stream-walking, raft trips, sightseeing boats, camping, and many other year-round experiences. …………………………………………… ☞ The river’s tempestuous side. …………………………………………… The Shimanto River is also famous as a wild river prone to rises in water level, flooding, and typhoons, making it susceptible to water damage throughout the year. Against this backdrop, people living along the basin have adapted their lives and landscape to nature, for example with low, railing-free bridges called chinkabashi that submerge during high water. These bridges, together with human activity, create a distinctive regional scenery. …………………………………………… ☞ Selected by the Environment Agency as one of Japan’s 100 Exquisite Waters and the 100 Exquisite Waters of the Heisei era. …………………………………………… In July 1985, the Shimanto River was chosen as one of Japan’s 100 Exquisite Waters because of its excellent water environment and active local conservation efforts. Later, in June 2008, the Kuroson River, a tributary of the Shimanto, was recognized as one of the 100 Exquisite Waters of the Heisei era in recognition of environmental conservation activities and local community initiatives. …………………………………………… ☞ The exceptionally clear Kuroson River among the tributaries. …………………………………………… The Kuroson River, selected for the Heisei-era 100 Exquisite Waters, is the clearest and most beautiful tributary of the Shimanto River. The area also preserves legends and stories such as Kuroson Shrine and Okiku Falls, and in autumn the foliage colors the landscape vividly. …………………………………………… ☞ Designated as an Important Cultural Landscape by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. …………………………………………… In February 2009, the unique landscapes formed by people’s lives and activities in the Shimanto River basin were designated an Important Cultural Landscape. This is the first time such designation covered five municipalities in the basin—Tsuno, Yusuhara, Nakatosa, Shimanto Town, and Shimanto City—drawing significant attention. ※ An Important Cultural Landscape is a landscape formed by people’s lives or livelihoods and the local natural environment, and is indispensable for understanding the lives or occupations of our nation’s people (from the Cultural Properties Protection Law, Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 5). …………………………………………… ☞ People appear on the Shimanto River throughout the seasons. …………………………………………… The Shimanto River is not only praised as the beautiful “Japan’s Last Pristine River,” it is also an environment and landscape enriched by the everyday livelihoods of local communities. This close relationship is the river’s mysterious charm that continues to draw people even now.

I Outbound to Iriomote Island in search of the Iriomote wildcat. Train, plane, bus, ship, and bus took 11 hours. It's already overseas. I was tired, but Impression by the sunset, I toasted with sparkling wine and grape juice and got excited. I didn't see any Iriomote wildcats.
