This is a photo of the Peace Kannon statue in Tochigi Prefecture. When I climbed the stairs and went closer, there were many offerings on top of the statue of Kannon, and I felt the wish for peace of the people who came here. If you go to the same height with a very large Kannon statue, you can look down on the town. Looking at the town from the same perspective naturally makes me want to ask what Kannon-sama thinks about the state of the world today.

Basking in the fresh green morning sun The morning sun shining on the rows of metasequoia trees creates even clearer greenery and shadows.

Beyond the blooming azaleas, the Landmark Tower showed its face. It was a walk in Yokohama where I was able to enjoy the refreshing spring atmosphere.

Tsubosaka-dera Temple Cherry Blossom Buddha 2023/4

I took a picture of the cherry blossom tree in the library near my nearest station! I usually just passed by thinking it was beautiful, but when I pointed my camera at it, I was drawn in by the beauty of the cherry blossoms. It felt good to take a picture with a clear mind!

In the port city of Yokohama, Garden Necklace Yokohama is held every spring. Colorful flowers decorate the city like a necklace, and here in Yamashita Park, there is a "flower bed exhibition" by the city's landscape architects. When you walk in front of this flower bed and 21 other flower beds competing for beauty with Hikawa Maru in the background, you will feel a sense of peace. Please come and visit us.

The plum blossoms of Jonangu Shrine in Kyoto Prefecture and the camellia flowers falling to the ground. The red color of the camellia falling to the ground against the background of the beautiful drooping plum blossoms is very accentuated by the contrast with the green, and it became one that attracted me.

A row of cherry blossom trees on the back split embankment near Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine in Kyoto Prefecture. The contrast between the beautiful pale pink and green of the cherry blossoms was very beautiful!!

Shot at Sakitama Kofun Park, famous for cherry blossoms blooming on top of burial mounds in Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture. At night, there was a clear weather forecast and I took out my camera and appreciated the cherry blossoms and starry sky under the cold sky. The rays of light running down the stairs were caused by the flashlights held in the hands of the students who came to admire the cherry blossoms at night. I really like the way the rays bounce and ripple as you descend the stairs, as if to express that the students were also enjoying this space. I also find the contrast between the pale lines of the background drawn by the stars and the intense light of artificial light interesting.

Wisteria Park in Fujino, Waki Town, Okayama Prefecture, is a collection of famous wisteria from all over the country. There are about 100 kinds of parks, and it is the most beautiful park in Japan in terms of variety. The total length of the wisteria shelf is 500 meters, and there is a passage below it where you can stroll while looking up at the wisteria.

Also, Kadokawa Musashino Museum!! Here is a picture of projection mapping! Since it is a collaboration with "Bungo Stray Dogs", there are many anime and manga lovers, and many people related to old literary masters, so why not take a look? ?? ☺️

Kengo Kuma's Kadokawa Musashino Museum. There are books in various fields inside, and it's 😳 fun no matter how many times you go.

Take a 👀 look

The red you chose was still white or green on the backside. Adults were surprised at how big it was to take a bite. Even though I just picked strawberries and ate them, there were so many events.

Wisteria Raft On this day, the wind was strong and the petals were flowing, so I tried to slow the shutter on my iPhone. Tennogawa Park, Tsushima, Aichi 2023/4

Sakura S Nice scenery found in Nara. It is nice to feel that the row of cherry blossom trees is increasing. 2023/4 Nara

It is an old stratovolcano facing the Mt. Azuma-kofuji of Okenuma in Bandai Asahi National Park in Fukushima Prefecture and the southern part of Jododaira. At the end of April, when I went to see the fresh green and blue lake, there was still a lot of snow. It was difficult to get to the shooting location, but I was impressed by the natural beauty reflected in the dark blue surface of the dark blue lake with the remaining snow on the lakeside and the fresh greenery of the trees that have begun to sprout! It is a recommended hidden gem.

Photographed on 2023.04.09 at Oyama Senmaida, Kamogawa City, Chiba Prefecture. I wanted to experience something spring-like scenery, so I went to Chiba Prefecture to see the water mirror of the terraced rice fields. You can only see the clean water mirror for a limited period of time until the farmer plants the rice. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a spring tradition. When the sky deep in the mountains begins to light and the water surface of the terraced rice fields begins to receive the light of the sky, morning finally begins for the animals. The chirping of birds and the chirping of frogs can be heard more actively. "There are still dark shadows in the visible world, but morning is certainly approaching." I wanted to convey such an atmosphere through photographs, so I captured the gentle rotation of light in the darkness.

"Sightseeing spots in Japan to visit in spring" Kawazu cherry blossoms in "Nabana no Sato" in Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture Living in Nishi Japan, I became addicted to Kawazu cherry blossoms from here! Together with the reflection on the surface of the water, it was a very beautiful view.

Photographed on 2023.04.22 in the Nohira area of Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. It is a famous shooting place where you can take pictures of the Go-Tateyama mountain range and a single cherry blossom, but the number of tourists is sparse at dusk, and I myself was watching the sun set over the mountain alone. It was a wonderful sight to see the clouds that had been hanging faintly over the mountain gradually turning red. The cherry blossoms standing there seemed to be quietly praising the situation, and I projected my impressed but slightly lonely feelings on this one cherry blossom while admiring this magnificent scenery alone. In order to contrast the grandeur of the Go-Tateyama mountain range with the loneliness of the single cherry blossoms, I placed the single cherry blossoms around the lower left of the four divisions.
