Mt. Fuji seen at sunset from Manase Port in Hayama over Sagami Bay. On a sunny evening, Mount Fuji seen from this place really looks golden and large.

A rocky area near Hayama and Chojagasaki. The sunset just before setting and the reflection in the puddle are beautiful. For a moment, it feels like it's not Japan, but there are many places like this near the city center.

Winter is coming to an end, so take advantage of the holidays to go straight to the net. When you come to Abashiri, you must come to see the icebreaker!! Today, lucky, the weather is clear, the icebreaker set off smoothly, sailing to the Sea of Okhotsk, the drift ice made a collision sound next to the ship, and it was an invincible view to enjoy this near-polar scenery! In the evening, you are welcome to stay at Jinyuting and spend a pleasant winter together!

The sunset in Osaka Bay is beautiful. At the southern end of Tempozan Harbor Village, beyond this is Osaka Bay. It is a popular spot for people who come to see the sunset over Osaka Bay.

Kouri Island / Kouri Island is located in Nakijin Village in the northern part of the main island of Okinawa. This is a photo taken in midsummer with the view from Yagaji Island. I, Uchinanchu Okinawan are also impressed by this scenery ^^ Cobalt blue is deep and emerald green is shallow. Ferries come through Cobalt Blue. It is beautiful if the sun is out even in winter, but I want to see this color! If so, it is recommended to come around the summer solstice, when the position of the sun is at the top. Don't let a typhoon come...

Ikei Bridge / It is a red bridge that connects Miyagi Island and Ikei Island through the underwater road in the central part of the main island of Okinawa. The emerald green sea is very beautiful. It's more transparent and very beautiful when viewed from the bridge! The rainy season in Okinawa ends from mid-June to early July, when the color of the sea is most vivid. It is recommended to come around the summer solstice! However, it is typhoon season, so we can only -_- pray when it comes.

Shot at Matama Beach in Oita Prefecture.

The perfect sunset color and the reflection of the silhouette of the people were beautiful and I fell in love with the scenery.

Kyotango full of attractions It's not a shooting iron, but the Kyotango Railway runs along the Yura River It's always a car, so I wonder what kind of scenery spreads out from the window of this train ... ? I was very worried 😌 Maizuru, Kyoto Especially from around May, Kyotango is full of sights such as rice planting time and night fireflies.

This photo is taken when I went to Odaiba Toyosu. It was the most beautiful photo I took when I went to Odaiba.
