I keep seeing pictures of the Shiroyone Senmaida Rice Terraces and I really just need to go and see it myself. I don't know what it is about rice fields but they're some of the most beautiful scenery you can find in my opinion. I think that's another thing I really love about places like Akita, Saitama, etc. It really just makes me wish summer was here already. I want to go outside and enjoy a barbecue at some park. Spring would be great too, I'd get some plum wine and eat some barbecue under the cherry blossoms. I always love seeing the rice field art too, so if I can see some this year I'll be really happy. I think I saw some in Akita but I didn't get a chance to see any in Saitama yet, so maybe I'll try and find some out there and go out for a visit.

Today is Setsubun. Let's eat Ehomaki ~ This year's direction is south-southeast. ? 今天是Japan的節分日日 除了有拿豆子丟魔鬼象徵消災解厄外,還有吃惠方卷,朝著該年福神方向邊許願邊吃!

Monet's pond was ? beautiful. I want to go again!

It's humble, but we were able to film the collaboration between Sun Pillar and Diamond Dust. It was cold, but it was worth sticking. Location: Kirigamine

Early in the morning, I photographed Mt. Fuji illuminated by the sunrise. The collaboration with the foggy in the foreground was lovely. Location: Kirigamine

The full moon was shining just during the magic hour before dawn. I pressed the shutter in conjunction with the foggy ice in front of me. Location:Nagano

Long day out today. Figured I'd check everyone's posts before bed and wow! I'd not heard of Mt. Yoshino, although I can see why Toyotomi Hideyoshi would have loved it. The scenery is truly beautiful here. I can't even imagine how beautiful the cherry blossoms must be if they're even more amazing than the snowy landscape in this photo. I suppose Kinpusenji Temple is the large building just to the right of the center of the photo. I'd love to give it a visit. It's Nara too, so hopefully I can see some deer during my visit. If not then I'll just have to stop by the park to watch people being chased for their crackers? Lovely place though, I'm interested in seeing what it looks like in Autumn as well. Japan never ceases to amaze me with it's colorful foliage so I can imagine Mt. Yoshino is no exception either!

This photo captures the essence of Kyoto so well in my opinion. Cherry blossoms and a yakatabune. It's so simple and yet so elegant at the same time. I like how the boat is just slightly obscured by the cherry blossoms and you can feel how the wood on the roof of the boat has aged just by looking at it. Kyoto has so many beautiful sights to see and experiences to try. I'm looking forward to one of these boat rides the next time I go, and I'm also planning on visiting a kawadoko because I've eaten by a river before so I know how refreshing it is, but I've never eaten OVER a river before (inside a boat maybe but this is different) so I'm looking forward to a new experience. Going to have to visit all the temples and shrines I didn't have the chance to visit before as well.

Beautiful Morgenrot in the Northern Alps.

Just beautiful. There's so much happening in this photo when you really look at it. The paper lantern is really the cherry on the cake for me in this one. I read an article a little while ago about the funaya in Ine and thought it was really interesting. It's awesome getting to see fireworks happening there as well, it's like I've discovered a new side of the area that I didn't know about before. I really enjoy fireworks over water too, and there's plenty of great fireworks festivals in Japan that do just that. I was already looking forward to being able to see the boathouses in Ine one day but now I'm looking forward to it even more. Going to line it up with the Ine Fireworks Festival if I can. The reflection of the fireworks on the water looks really awesome as well.

Morning at Niikurayama Sengen Shrine. Mt. Fuji enters the torii gate, and the scenery is very magnificent.

Excited by the unfamiliar snowy scenery I forgot about the cold and clicked the shutter crazy

Car coated on ice. The power of nature is amazing.

There are such magnificent icicles on the car. I was informed of the threat of the snow country.

This is a view of Ginzan Onsen in Yamagata Prefecture. The post was also completely covered in snow.

This is a view of Ginzan Onsen in Yamagata Prefecture. It was a spectacular view.

Lake Shoji is the most visited of the Fuji Five Lakes. It is a very quiet and pleasant place.

There is always a wood-burning stove in the lobby. It is a place of relaxation for everyone.

Photographed from the ropeway of Kita Yatsugatake. It was sunny that day, so we took the ropeway. However, when I reached the summit, it was cloudy、、。 I can't read the weather in the mountains. The summit was very cold at -12°C.

Couple Rock ✨ It's tasteful ^ ^

It is Tatsusawa Fudo Falls in Fukushima Prefecture. It is famous for its spots where you can take pictures of autumn leaves and waterfalls in autumn, but the snow and waterfall in winter were also beautiful.

What you can see in the back is the village of Oshi in Kanayama Town, Fukushima Prefecture. I took this photo with a train running next to the Tadami River. The greenery is beautiful in the snowless season, so I would like to go there again.

Asakusa is a sacred place ? for the anime "Sarazanmai" "Sarazanmai" is an anime that was broadcast on Fuji TV's "Noitamina" frame from April ~ June 2019. It is an original anime work by director Kunihiko Ikuhara, who worked on "Revolutionary Girl Utena" and others. "Sarat!" used as a decisive line is an ? amane that tends to be said. In the work, there are many sightseeing spots in Asakusa that actually exist! Kaminarimon, Matsuya Ginza, Tool Street, Hanayashiki, Kappabashi Kotaro Statue, Azuma Bridge, etc. ... Therefore, I have photographed Azuma Bridge when I made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land before and the cat that appears in the work, so I would like to introduce ? it. In the article cited, you can see the tool street shopping street that appeared in the work, and at the end, you can see the "Kappabashi Kotaro Statue"! (The details were written in the article, so I will omit them here) The "Kappabashi Kotaro Statue" comes out as the main place where the main characters gather, Actually, it was suddenly in the middle of the tool street shopping street, and I almost missed it w? ◎Photos(1)~(5) "Azuma Bridge" appears every time as a place where the masters fight in the main story, and becomes the stage for important scenes After the pilgrimage to the Holy Land, I happened to have a chance to go nearby last year, so when I saw it, the color had changed ... ? It was maintained and clean, but I was a little shocked because the previous red was mysterious. But the view of the river from the bridge was great, it reminded ?✨ me of the last time. I would like to go again when the world calms down a little more. I haven't visited all the holy places, so I want to ☕ go to coffee heaven next. Even if you don't know "Sarazanmai", Asakusa has many things to see. I think ? it's fun to stroll around the paths and shopping streets.

This is a photo of a snowy day in "Naramachi" in Nara City, Nara Prefecture. Nara City does not have much snow, and it has snowed for the first time in several years, and the cityscape that I have loved from the beginning has become even more attractive due to the snowy scenery.

Narusawa Ice Cave! After all it's so beautiful ?.

Annual Nabana no Sato Illumination ^ ^ It's beautiful and I never ✨ get tired of it.

Layered Hisaya Odori Park! Beautifully lit TV tower ^ ^ There was ✨ a new store.

Located in Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture "Shirahama Beach" The snow was half dry!

This is Tsuruga Castle in Fukushima Prefecture! It was even whiter from the snow and it was beautiful!
