Umbrella Sky at Inawashiro Herb Garden in Fukushima Prefecture! The reflection of the umbrella suspended on the ceiling is ☂️ the best It is adorably decorated with many umbrellas, and it will be ✨ fun during the rainy season.

My favorite autumn photo I took in Naruko Gorge last year. It was so beautiful that I was speechless. I want to go again this year.

A monkey traveling on a rope. Where are we going? We also want to travel far away for the first time in a long time.

The submerged forest of the Tamagawa River is said to appear only for one month a year. The scenery that makes you feel refreshed when it starts to get hot is the blue scenery that makes you want to visit again.

During my first visit to Japan, my boyfriend suggested that just driving on the highway we can see beautiful places in Japan. I did not believe that this can happen without planning. But that drive proved me wrong. Japan is full of hidden gems. And there is rarely bigger pleasure than from a pleasant surprise.

Hakusan Island in Yura, Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture Crossing the red bridge over the beautiful sea is very fantastic! If you cross the bridge while looking at the sea as transparent as Okinawa Prefecture, there is a fishing pond that can be enjoyed not only by couples but also by children and the elderly!

Wow, what a breathtaking view. It really does look just like a mirror, it's incredible how perfect the reflection is. I really love the green as well, it's such a brilliant shade it really gives you the feeling of the rich, verdant countryside. I've had a love of rice fields since before I can remember, just because they look so beautiful and you can really appreciate the technology of humankind through them. I've never seen the rice fields in Kyoto to be honest, only the temples and shrines, which isn't exactly unfortunate, but I would really like to get out into the countryside as well. This reminds me so much of Akita as well and I only have fond memories of my time there. Going to have to throw the rice fields of Kyoto on my list for my next visit. On a bit of a tangent, it's pretty amazing you can take photos like this on cell phones now. Incredible how far we've come.

It's interesting how Japan has so many blue lakes. It's such a strange phenomenon. I'm not sure if the color in all of them is due to the same phenomenon, but the one in Biei is supposedly colored blue because of aluminum and other minerals that scatter sunlight in just the right way. I have a feeling this one isn't the same because the one in Biei was formed only after a dam was made, but I'm interested to learn what exactly causes it here. I actually hadn't heard of this blue lake before but Aomori has some really nice scenery so it's not too surprising. Also Shirakami-Sanchi is a UNESCO heritage site for a reason I suppose lol. I'd like to go see this and the Nebuta Festival in Aomori as that's supposed to be really awesome as well. Maybe it's possible to see them during the same visit?

This is a photo of hydrangea taken in Kajo Park in Yamagata Prefecture. You can enjoy different scenery depending on the four seasons, such as hydrangeas during the rainy season, cherry blossoms in spring, and ginkgo trees in autumn.

Speaking of superb views, here! It is 200 metres high and overlooks the 8 km long ria coastline. You can enjoy the casual first observatory, the powerful second observatory, and the third observatory at the edge of the waves. The photo shows the view from the second observatory. I want to go see the spectacular appearance illuminated by the morning sun.

Akita Prefecture "Noshiro Fireworks". Following on from last year, it has been decided to cancel the event again this year. I think that fireworks festivals are being held nationwide by postponing, canceling, or reviewing the scale. I hope that the time will soon come when everyone can look up at the night sky with a smile on their faces.

Tanesashi Coast in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture. It is a wonderful place in Sanriku Reconstruction Park with natural grass stretching to the coastline. I would like you to visit the open view. In the photo, just a little bit of it.

What an amazing view, catching the sunrise just perfectly between the clouds. I really want to visit Zao as I know that it's amazing all year round and it'd be cool to go during the winter since you can go skiing and snowboarding but it'd be great to go during the spring or summer when there's no snow to go hiking and see places like this as well. Okama Crater is really beautiful and I can imagine it looks even more amazing in person. It's too bad there aren't any fish in the crater due to the acidity but that's a cool aspect in and of itself too. The crater is actually a lot higher in elevation than I originally thought never seen it with a sea of clouds before.

From the Okama of Mt. Zao in Miyagi Prefecture. I photographed the sunrise.

Looking forward to seeing the fireworks this summer, I've been to Omagari in the past and it was really amazing. I know there's tons of places in Japan where there are amazing fireworks as well since Japan has a really long history of fireworks, so hopefully it's possible to see them now that vaccinations are starting to roll out. The whole coronavirus situation has been a bummer for a lot of people and fireworks are sort of like a reminder of all the beauty that the world holds and they help bring people together. I'd love to go out and see Omagari again personally as it was easily one of the most amazing displays I've seen. It was great getting to bring a picnic blanket and everything and just sit under the stars until it started too

In Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, this is a Yabusame tournament held only by female jockeys around the time the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Female jockeys dressed in glossy kimono carry bows, ride on horses of Japan traditional lineage, and fly quickly through three targets while frying dust. Originally, Yabusame is an event held only by men as a Shinto ritual, but befitting the modern era of the 21st century, the gender difference between men and women has been abolished, and the ancient traditions of martial arts and equestrian arts that have been handed down from ancient Japan times have been adopted and passed on to future generations, and the world of glossy kimono fushiko is worth visiting and seeing. At the 4th "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS" Photo Contest - Spring of Japan, we were selected as one of the six winners out of 1,000 entries and received an honorable mention. 【Spring Shooting】

Aomori, Akita Lake Towada and the Hakkoda mountain range From the Hagitoge Observatory on the Akita Prefecture side, this is a view of Lake Towada and the Hakkoda mountain range in Aomori Prefecture. Cherry blossoms are in full bloom here and there, or petals are scattered, but the area around Lake Towada is still early spring. The snow on the shoulder of the road is drifting cold air. On a sunny day, the blue sky and the blue surface of the lake made the whiteness of the remaining snow of the peaks of Mt. Hakkoda vivid.

Iwate Prefecture Gose Dam cherry blossom trees I went out to photograph the cherry blossoms of Koiwai Farm with Mt. Iwate in the background, but unfortunately the cherry blossoms had just blossomed, and Mt. Iwate did not appear due to the temperature difference between the mountains and the sky. I stopped by because the row of cherry blossom trees at Gosho Dam that I passed by was splendid. It was impressive that the cherry blossom grove seemed to shine in the sunlight shining through the clouds.

Tsuruta Town, Aomori Prefecture, Tsuru no Mai Bridge Lake Tsugaru Fujimi, where the Tsuru no Mai Bridge is located, has a tragic love story from 600 years ago. At that time, the lord of Kiyomizu Castle Mayamanomori falls in love with Princess Hakusan, whom he met at a house he stopped at while hunting. It is said that the princess, with her long black hair and fair skin, looked like a white lily. However, the owner of the castle changes his mind and marries Kotohime, who was introduced to him by a wealthy farmer. Upon learning of this, Princess Hakusan throws herself into the Great Reservoir, and her remorse turns into a white dragon and curses the castle owner. And the castle owner also threw himself into this reservoir. Thanks to the memorial services of the villagers, this pond has now become a source of water for Tsugaru Shinden and has been blessed with abundant blessings.

Hachirogata Lagoon's "Cherry Blossom and Rape Blossom Road" Hachirogata was reborn as a 17,239-hectare "Land of Hope" in March 1977 after more than 20 years of reclamation work with the aim of alleviating food shortages after World War II. In 1984, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the village's founding, the villagers planted 3,000 cherry trees in three years, and 1,000 cherry trees in commemoration of the 50th anniversary. Rape blossoms were planted by local volunteers. "Thanks" for the masterpiece of Somei Yoshino, Yaezakura, Beniyama cherry blossoms and rape blossom road that stretches for about 11 km! !!

Invited by the sunny weather, I visited Kajo Park in Yamagata City to see the cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms were beginning to disperse. As I walked on the stone wall of the castle, I heard a dignified sound of shooting in the calm cherry blossom blizzard. The sound of arrows shooting bows and shooting at targets resonated very pleasantly. Posted with the consent of the individual. He was humbled that the shooting form was still a long way off.

Karamatsu Kannondo in Yamagata City is located in the upper reaches of the Umamigasaki River, which is famous for the best imoni ceremony in the Japan. It was built in 1661 by the castle owner at that time, Prince Matsudaira Tadahiro. The main statue, Kannon-sama, is said to be the work of Kobo Daishi, and the hall is built in imitation of Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple. It is said that this Kannon-sama was brought by Princess Toyomaru, who was married to charcoal-grilled rattan according to the instructions of Shimizu Kannon. Against the backdrop of the golden culture of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, there are legends of charcoal grilled rattan, the legend of the second generation Kinbai Yoshitsugu, and legends that the princess invited Minamoto no Yoshitsune, making it feel like an old tale.

What an amazing tree! It makes sense that it's called the "Waterfall Cherry." I can totally see the resemblance in how the cherry blossoms hang down like that. Interesting that there's actually a "Three Great Cherry Blossoms Trees of Japan." I'd really love to go see this and Usuzumizakura in Gifu and Jindaizakura in Yamanashi. It's incredible to think that even after more than 1,000 years this cherry tree is still standing and is just like a fine wine in that it gets even better with age. There's so much beautiful natural scenery in Japan to see. I wonder what the sky is like here at night. I bet you can probably see a lot of stars from here

Somei Yoshino lived for seven or eighty years. Wakutani Town, Miyagi Prefecture, launched the "Cherry Blossom Corridor" project 25 years ago to revive the rows of cherry blossom trees that were lost due to economic growth and river renovation. It is a small row of trees about 1 km along Wakutani Castle and the Eai River, the residence of the Wakutani Date family, but this cherry blossom tunnel appears only in spring, and people in the neighborhood enjoy cherry blossom viewing.

Takizakura in Miharu Town, Fukushima Prefecture, is one of the three major cherry blossoms in Japan. It is the first famous cherry tree to be designated as a national natural monument. It is an old tree with red branches and drooping cherry trees that are said to be over 1,000 years old, but when it bloomed in full bloom, it looked like a waterfall flowing down in layers. On the day I visited, the locals said that the conditions were the best, and the blue sky, vivid rape blossom colors, and cherry blossoms in full bloom made me enjoy the spring splendour. It is said that he said, "To the capital, I can hear the sound, takizakura, invite iroka, and the spring breeze of flowers."

It is Tsuruga Castle in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture I took a picture of the scenery when I looked up.

There is Mizubasho Forest Park near Miyagi Zao Shiroishi Ski Resort. I went out because Mizubasho was in full bloom. There were many people who visited because of the clusters of Mizubasho, but I think that few people stopped to look at the few Hakama. I wanted you to know this flower, which is adorable like a sparkler.

Cherry blossoms in a small shrine The magnificent cherry blossoms in a small shrine show the local people a wonderful view every year.
