Itsukushima Shrine Five-storied Pagoda / Hiroshima Itsukushima Shrine Five-story Pagoda / Hiroshima A five-storied pagoda located a little deeper in Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its torii gate in the sea. Since it is located in a high place, you can see it from a distance, but when you see it up close, the power will take your breath away. The Senjokaku Pavilion next to it is also a highlight. The five-story pagoda is located in a slightly secluded part of Itsukushima Shrine, famous for its torii gateway in the sea. It can be viewed from a distance due to its elevated location, but when seen up close, the power of the pagoda will take your breath away. Next to the five-story pagoda is the Senjo-kaku, which is also a must-see.

In April, I went to "Mandalaji Park" in Konan City, Aichi Prefecture. It is a famous wisteria spot next to the ancient temple "Mandara Temple" in Owari, which was built at the request of Emperor Go-Daigo in the first half of the 14th century. It was the beginning of April, and although it was not in full bloom, the flowers that had just bloomed were full of vitality and I was able to taste the beautiful purple color. I took this photo because there was a place where the wisteria flowers and the tower could be photographed with just the right balance. I was able to take a picture of the blue sky in the background just right.

Shot in Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture. My dream is to take pictures of the snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go, and this is my first time visiting it. Here are the best shots I took while desperately trying to warm up in Cairo in sub-zero temperatures! The electricity in the room where you can feel the activities of people overflows from the window. Streetlights reflecting off the snow. Snow continues to fall. I'm very satisfied to be able to take a photo that looks like it appeared in an old story!

Yasaka Shrine / Kyoto Yasaka-Shrine / Kyoto I visited around September last year. Unfortunately, it was raining, but it was also wrapped in a fantastic atmosphere! There were almost no tourists at all, and for some reason, it was 😁 in a chartered state, so why don't you visit it? I visited around September last year. Unfortunately, it was raining, but that didn't stop it from creating a fantastic atmosphere! There were no tourists at all and for some reason we had the place to ourselves 😁I highly recommend everyone to visit!

The five-storied pagoda of Ueno park looks very beautiful in every season. Ueno park is one of the most popular spots that hardly need any recommendations yet I want to recommend it because sometimes in a rush we somehow overlook a few things or spots that's why this post. Amid the colorless nature, the red pagoda and flower-printed Japanese umbrella in front of it formed a strangely beautiful scene. Although the pagoda is almost covered in flowers during the sakura season, once on a peony flower exhibition day when I went there I stopped after seeing such a sight.

February 3rd - Spring Festival Branch Festival>>> Huifang in the "South, South, East"! Every year, the day before the beginning of spring is Japan's "Setsubun Festival" If you eat in the direction of Keifang with a sushi roll, you will be able to ensure that you can "eliminate evil and prosper" for the whole year to come. The Huikata roll is actually a super thick nori sushi roll, which will be wrapped with at least seven kinds of ingredients to symbolize the seven gods of Japanese blessings, these days to go to major supermarkets and supermarkets to understand the ingredients in each Huikata roll, feel super delicious. Come to Jinyutei in the evening and enjoy a leisurely vacation while eating Keikata rolls!

[English/Japanese] I visited Soto Terrace, a spot that opened last November to promote Hachioji's traditional culture. It is a 7-minute walk from Hachioji Station. You can reach it by passing through a small street in Hanamachi. I visited at night so it was very quiet, but I heard it is very lively on weekends and holidays with events. There is a nice store and I bought some cute sweets. I will report on the sweets I bought next time. Hachioji is an old town, so there are many events and places that convey traditional culture. I think it's a great city for foreign students to learn about Japanese culture!
