I thought this was a really nice article and video. I hadn't heard about Utase ships or Utase fishing before. I mentioned the other day in a post about the Edo-Tokyo Museum how I really liked seeing the architecture of the ships and just happened to come across this today. I love how you can see a full broadside view of the ship and its sails. Apparently there are a bunch of different varieties of sails and different numbers used depending on the size, etc. of the ship. I've never had the opportunity to go to Kumamoto sadly, but I'd like to see this in action if I get the chance. I've seen a lot of photos of Kumamoto Castle as well, so that's definitely something I'd be checking out if I visited. I'd like to do it in the spring to see the cherry blossoms as well.

Some photos I took during my visit to the Edo-Tokyo Museum. I really enjoyed seeing the recreations of the Edo cityscape and seeing what the city would have looked like back in the day. I like that you can also get a feel for what life was like at that time and you can even see people doing various jobs or holding tools related to them. I enjoyed seeing the boats as well, as it showed how shipping would been carried out at the time, and you also get to see the architecture of the ships, which was really awesome in my honest opinion. I also tried getting a decent photo of Tokugawa Ieyasu but I was really short on time when visiting as the museum was about to close, so I definitely need to go back there again. I wanted to see some of the other exhibits as well, stuff like the Great Kanto Earthquake exhibits, etc. so I have an excuse to visit again lol.

The rural scenery ? of Tome City, Miyagi Prefecture, which was the setting for "Welcome Back Monet" This is the city where I was transferred for work in the past and lived for several years. Immediately after moving, I was strongly attracted to this city rich in nature, where you can feel the seasons with all five senses, and it is still my ✨ spiritual home. I love Tome City so much that even now that my car broke down, I rent a car and go ? for a drive. This photo is a treasure-like scenery that I encountered on such a driving day. On both sides, which are not shown in the photo, the beautiful countryside continues far ahead. Ears of rice spread all over the area like a golden sea and sway like waves when the wind blows. I was so impressed that I immediately parked my car in a wide area on the side of the road and took many pictures with enthusiasm. I will never forget the lush scent of rice ears when I got out of the car, and the beautiful contrast between the blue sky, green trees, and golden ears of rice. The scenery of Tome City is really beautiful, the food is very delicious, and the people are kind. I'm really glad ? I found such a wonderful city Now I am working hard to move to Tome again. By then, "Welcome Back Monet" will be long over, but... "Welcome Back Mocha" wants ?? to be warmly welcomed into this city. I hope ✨ that the charm of my favorite Tome City will be conveyed to everyone as much as possible.

Went canoeing in Hagure, Saitama and I managed to turn red thanks to a nice sunburn. Was super tired the next day after a ton of canoeing but still managed to get a good amount of sightseeing done in Gyoda. Visited Oshi Castle (忍城) and the nearby museum, bought some tabi shoes from a shop that’s been in business for more than 100 years (創作足袋千代の松), stopped by a couple of shrines and enjoyed some of Japan’s scenic beauty. Had a total blast, and one of the locals even gave us some incense as a gift for visiting Gyoda!

This is the autumn foliage scenery of Koankyo in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture. This is a canyon formed by the deep erosion of both banks of the Minase River over many years. When you go down the stairs of the rocks, there is a promenade at the end of which there is a "large spout" where hot water and steam of 98°C are gushing out violently. Fresh green in spring, autumn leaves. And in winter, you can enjoy the large icicles "shigakko" that descend into the canyon. This photo was taken from Kawarayu Bridge overlooking the autumn foliage scenery of Koankyo.
