Location: IWGP (Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park) Children playing at the fountain

I waited for the railcar coming to the Tsugaru Railway and Ashino Koen Station. In the pouring rain, the lights of the railcar illuminate the rain It was like a tunnel of light. The railcar came slowly through the tunnel of light and the dense trees.

Preparing for the fall Ears of rice and summer sky spread all over the place. The ears of rice that receive energy from the sun and grow quickly are sparkling and beautiful.

Summer resort Tatsusawa Fudo Falls in Fukushima Prefecture The waterfall flowing down the rock surface was a very beautiful and mysterious waterfall.

Milky Way in summer The Milky Way seen from the Jododaira Observatory in Fukushima Prefecture was so dense that it could be seen even with the naked eye.

Memories of Gokayama in Toyama Prefecture visited two summers ago! We went to the Aikura Gassho-zukuri village, which is a World Heritage Site. The thatched roof was great (*'艸')

Every summer, I go to the three-tiered wall of Wakayama Prefecture. It's a power spot for me because it's good to get power when you go here.

The view from the hotel balcony was the best.

Speaking of summer traditions, sunflowers are after all! It was hot, but I felt energetic and happy.

I was energized by the sight of sunflowers.

World Heritage Terraced rice fields of Kasuga in Nagasaki Prefecture. It was a luxurious feeling to be able to monopolize the 360-degree view without anyone there.

Terraced rice fields of Kasuga, Nagasaki Prefecture The superb view of the empty terraced rice fields was so wonderful that I could not put it into words.

Summer of Japan Morning sun at Dafu Mountain In Hyogo Prefecture

This is a photo of fireworks with friends gathered for the first time in years. Since I became an adult, the places where I live have been different, and I can't easily get together like I did when I was a child, but even when I saw them for the first time in a long time, I felt that I was able to return to my youth like I did back then, and I don't want it to end, but I thought that maybe it is because of the time that it ends, that it seems ephemeral like this fireworks.

Omi Takashima, Lake Biwa. Living in Osaka finding a darker place is not so easy. Since places closer to lake biwa have much less light pollution I planned on doing some night photography that day. But the plan changed totally when this place was covered with a blanket of clouds even when the forecast said it will be a clear night. But the day went without any regret since I had this amazing blue hour view. I finally came to my senses and thought to myself not to worry about things I can't control and cherish what I have.

Shiroyama beach, Takahama, Fukui. JR Obama line has a lot of beautiful hidden spots along the northern coast and I found this interesting place when I was looking in map.

Aomori's Nebuta Festival! I was overwhelmed by the dynamic turns at the intersection and the power of the Nebuta. I hope that enthusiasm will return next year! And I want to go see it again!!

Summer in Kyoto is the Gion Festival! The scene of the yamaboko turning around is truly a masterpiece. I hope that next year will bring back that traditional beauty and enthusiasm.

Weather wasn't too bad this weekend! I managed to get a little shopping in as well. There were a few things I needed to buy and I went to Akabane for the first time in a while. I really like the layout of the area. It's really convenient and the shopping street has a bunch of stuff that you can look at. I'd like to explore the area more one of these days, but that will have to wait until after the pandemic ends I suppose. I managed to find some interesting statues around one of the shopping centers as well. I wasn't able to take a photo of all of them because people were sitting next to them, but I took a photo of one of them at least. I'll have to go back to get photos of the other 5 or 6 next time. There was one statue of a man fishing, I thought it was pretty cool. Anyways, here's the first one right outside of the entrance. A small warrior in armor holding a spear in one hand and what looks to be some sort of pagoda in the other.

Nagano Prefecture, at Sujinmon on the way to Togakushi Shrine Okusha. I arrived at 6 a.m., the sun was starting to rise, and the sunlight was shining, which was very fantastic. We received a lot of pure and clear air with deep greenery in summer. I passed the person who had already visited the shrine, and when I turned around, I felt very nostalgic.

It is a river in Kibichuo Town, Kaga District, Okayama Prefecture "Narutaki Forest Park". During the summer vacation, which was hot, I couldn't even go on a trip due to Corona, so I took my child to the local river. The water was cold and it felt good.

This photo was taken from the 7th station of Mt. Chokai in Akita Prefecture. The sun is slowly setting. Under the clouds Japan the ocean stretches, reflecting the light of the setting sun on the surface of the water.

One photo seen from among the trees while strolling around Minamiboso City, Chiba Prefecture. I expressed as it was that the scenery peeked out from the natural frame of Aoba was very summer-like and wonderful.

This photo was taken from the 7th station of Mt. Chokai in Akita Prefecture while waiting for dusk. I visit Mt. Chokai at least once or twice every year. It is my favorite mountain where you can enjoy various scenery every season.
