Autumn in Gokase: Peak Season Now! Josenji With only one calendar page left and autumn foliage ending in most places, surprisingly Josenji is now at its peak 😳🍁 It was cloudy when I took the photos, but the deep, vivid reds stood out and looked incredibly beautiful 🥹✨ While leaves are fading elsewhere, are the trees at Josenji a late-foliage variety? Or is it due to local environmental factors? I’m not sure, as I don’t know the details… In any case, I never expected to see such stunning autumn colors in December 😳👏 Please stop by and enjoy them for yourself 🤗✨

Light up of Nagoya's Swans Garden I used white balance to create a refreshing blue photo.

Autumn leaves in Sorakuen Gardens

I like geometric patterns. Did the leaves of the Ginkgo fall and happen to get stuck in the fence? The Ginkgo leaves were beautifully addicted, and I had never seen them before, so I clicked the shutter without thinking.

I was able to take a walk in Showa Kinen Park. It was an area where only small children could enter, and there were children bouncing around and seemed to be having fun.

I like and am good at portraits in Autumn leaves, so I take them every year. I took this photo at my favorite place in Kamakura. I like to take pictures in a moist atmosphere in a shaded area where the light turns a little and comes in, rather than a place where the light comes in when the weather is clear and the light comes in.

I took an aerial photo of Mt. Yoshino with a drone. Mt. Yoshino is famous for its thousand cherry blossoms. Autumn leaves are also beautiful in autumn. Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture "Mt. Yoshino" 2024/11

Ikuta Shrine. I found autumn.

Prince Shinmon on the Kumano Kodo and Nakabe Road Courses, it was late autumn.

Toganokichaya on the Kumano Kodo and Nakabeji Course, a resting place that warmly welcomes travelers walking along the ancient road. I like thatched roofs.

Sunset taken at the top of Mt. Mt. Takao I climbed Mt. Mt. Takao for the first time, but it was harder than I expected. I felt that the ramen I ate while looking at this view was delicious because of the hard work, so I will walk from the foot next time I go!

I went to Mt. Mt. Takao to see the Autumn leaves I think it was a little earlier than the best time to see it, but the temperature was mild and it was a good exercise! Date 2024/11/22

On the first day of the Kawagoe Festival Held in on October 19, I took a picture of a round post in Confectionery Yokocho It was as if Post was the owner of a Stalls shop, and had a different atmosphere than usual, and I was attracted to the world view that can only be experienced at the Kawagoe Festival.
