A winter event held in Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture. Hiruyama Snow Love Festival. At night, the miniature Kamakura is lit and it is very beautiful.

This photo was taken one year ago on February 19. It was near the end of bloom, and I was running hard to find the living cherry blossoms. It was raining at that time, so it was hard to take pictures. This year, it seems to be blooming from the beginning of January. In Okinawa, cherry blossoms bloom in winter, and when cherry blossoms are needed, they are already scattered and become just trees. I wish it would bloom around April lol.

Lake Chitose Shikotsu The Ice Festival is coming soon! The Chitose Lake Kotsu Ice Festival will be ?held on January 28~February 23, 2023 Shikotsu-Toya National Park, about 40 minutes by car from Sapporo. The ice sculptures lining the venue are created by spraying and freezing the water of Lake Shikotsu, one of the largest in Japan. Kids are popular with the ice slides, the skating rink where you can run with long boots, and the riding experience around the venue. During the Snow Festival, on Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays, about 300 fireworks will be fired from 6:30 p.m. to depict the night sky, as well as Japanese taiko drumming performances. Hurry up and arrange a trip to play in Hokkaido~ In the evening, we recommend staying at Sapporo Kinyutei to enjoy your own vacation!

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce Mr. Bashi's post "Nabegataki Falls, Kumamoto Prefecture". The icicle curtains and the snowy landscape are impressive. Nabegataki (Nabegataki Falls) is a waterfall with a drop of about 10 meters and a width of about 20 meters located in Nabegataki Park in Oguni Town, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. It is said to have been formed during a huge eruption about 90,000 years ago, and due to its mysterious scenery, it is a popular spot that has been used as a commercial and filming location. Nabegataki Park requires advance reservations, so reservations are required before visiting. Reservations can only be made online, not by phone. It takes about 5 minutes on foot from Nabegataki Park to Nabegataki Falls. Arrive by walking slowly along the well-maintained road. Women and children can also visit with peace of mind. Nabegataki Falls can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons. In spring and autumn, light-up events are held for a limited time, and many tourists visit. In summer, you can enjoy the moss and waterfalls, and in winter, the huge icicle curtains created by the frozen waterfall are a must-see. ◆Nabegataki Falls◆ 【Address】〒869-2502 Kumamoto Prefecture, Aso-gun, Oguni Town, Kurobuchi 【Tel】0967-46-2113 【Access】 From roadside station Oguni Yu Station, 10 minutes by car or taxi 【Parking lot】Available Please check the official website for details.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce Came.ll4's post "Tsuruga Castle in Fukushima Prefecture". The white exterior wall with snow shines even more beautifully. Tsurugajo Castle, located in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, is a historic castle that was designated as a national historic site in 1934. It is also called Wakamatsu Castle or Aizuwakamatsu Castle. Tsuruga Castle has a long history, built about 630 years ago in 1384. After that, it was damaged by a large earthquake, so it underwent a large-scale renovation and was restored to its current appearance. Tsuruga Castle, which is also a symbol of Aizuwakamatsu City, is full of attractions. The red-tiled castle tower is said to be the only castle in Japan that can only be seen at Tsuruga Castle. In addition, the "Tsurugajo Castle Museum" in the castle tower holds various special exhibitions. There is an observation room on the 5th floor of the top, where you can enjoy a superb view of Aizu 360 degrees. At the Tsurugajo Hall at the entrance of the castle, souvenirs and folk crafts are sold, and meals such as local dishes such as wappa rice, sauce katsudon, and Kitakata ramen are also recommended. ◆Tsurugajo◆ 【Address】〒965-0873 Fukushima Prefecture, Aizuwakamatsu City, Ote-cho 1-1 【Access】 → Tokyo Station (Tohoku Shinkansen / 90 minutes) → Koriyama Station Transfer (Banetsu West Line / 60 minutes) → get off at Aizuwakamatsu Station 【Parking lot】Available 360 passenger cars (charged) (Tsurugajo Nishidemaru Parking Lot, Tsurugajo South Exit Parking Lot, Tsurugajo East Exit Parking Lot)

Hakusamu Shrine in Sapporo I visit every morning. The shrine in winter is beautiful. Unless it becomes a very blizzard, I come to say hello every morning. The god of worship is Houji Ōkami Uta Soul Ōkami It seems that there is a benefit of increasing fortune. I feel that they have given me many more benefits than that. I am grateful.
