Morning on Lake Staka.

Camping with a family on the Yoshino River in Nara. I played until the sun went down.

Photographed at 00:50 on July 19, 2021. Silhouette of the Milky Way and candle rocks from the summit of Mt. Rishiridake in Hokkaido and a sea of clouds. I crossed to Rishiri Island by ferry on the evening of the 18th, walked to the mountain, and waited for the morning at the summit while looking at the starry sky all night. I don't have a tent, so I just sit on the rock and watch the Milky Way and wait. For me as a Kagoshima person, Hokkaido itself feels like the farthest end, but climbing the northernmost mountain seems to be a dream from beginning to end. The morning in Hokkaido in summer was early, and it started to get bright before 3 o'clock, so it was surprisingly quick. After this, after shooting the morning scenery, we descended the mountain and took the ferry at 12 o'clock to Wakkanai. It was a truly memorable mountain trip, as if burning the fire of life.

In 2020, it was a Japanese umbrella light-up event called "Summer Karasujo Togenkyo" held in the garden in front of Okayama Castle. The combination of the Japanese umbrella and the castle matched very well, and it was a fantastic and beautiful event.

It is a koto-playing waterfall located in Mimasaka City, Okayama Prefecture. If you go to the back of the precincts of Ame-no-Iwato-wa-betsu Shrine, you will find the "Koto-no-Takino" with a drop of 13 meters and a width of 5 meters. The quietly flowing waterfall blends into the surrounding greenery and is full of freshness. The water is clear and cold, and has a great refreshing effect.

It is a sunflower and sunset at Sunflower Hill Park in Ono City, Hyogo Prefecture. This park grows rape blossoms and nemophila every spring, sunflowers in summer, and cosmos in autumn. In particular, about 420,000 sunflowers are planted on 6 hectares in summer, and it is overwhelming to see the yellow sunflowers facing us all at once.

It is the garden of Ōshoji Temple in Fukusaki Town, Hyogo Prefecture. Kansai Hanaji Temple 25th Sacred Ground No. 8 and Banshu Yakushi Sacred Site No. 13 are famous as Sara temples. In front of the mountain gate, there is a reclining Buddha with a head and feet made of stone and a body of Satsuki with a height of about 8 meters. As befits a flower temple, you can see not only Sara but also seasonal flowers. From spring to summer, the green of the azaleas seen from inside is beautiful, and in autumn, you can enjoy a dreamy world of reflection with the addition of bright red camellia.

This summer, I scrambled to find cicadas. Every year, the insects that can be caught are leveling up. In the Gunma Insect Forest.

It is the moment of sunrise of Himeji Castle on August 30, 2022. On this day, the sky was dyed orange high in the sky and was so beautiful that I sighed.

The beauty of Nagatoro in summer days. The river rafting and river boating here in arakawa river is very exciting and thrilling. The surrounding area fully covers with greenery.

Fireworks festivals that had been canceled due to Corona were held in various places this year. Thanks to the cancellation, I was able to feel that the events and events that were normal were so happy and grateful. The fireworks that I was able to see for the first time in a long time were even more impressive. It is a fireworks festival held along the Ibo River in Tatsuno City, Hyogo Prefecture.

Umbrella Sky is said to have started in Portugal, but now it can be seen in various places Japan. This was decorated at the Yabu Civic Square in Yabu City, Hyogo Prefecture. The rows of colorful umbrellas are beautiful and make you feel fun as if to blow away the gloomy mood of the rainy season.

<Miokuri> The first send-off fire in three years. People who put their hands together and people who stare intently. It was each summer.

It is a Yamasa lotus flower garden in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. The cultivation area is 12,000 square meters, and there are many cultivated varieties, and you can admire the flowers for almost two months during the summer. The sight of gorgeous lotuses blooming all over is a masterpiece.

This is Komyoji, known for the wind chime festival in Sayo Town, Hyogo Prefecture. There are 2,000 wind chimes hanging in the precincts. Many wishes such as warding off evil and ending plagues are dedicated in wind chimes. In summer, the sound of wind chimes swaying in the wind brings coolness.

[English/Japanese ]The signboard at Hachioji Station changes its cute illustrations with the seasons. For example, March is the Doll Festival, June is boots, August is a festival, and so on. My favorite is the Setsubun design for February. I always look forward to seeing the next illustration. The signboard of Hachioji Station has cute illustrations that change depending on the season. For example, there is a Hina Festival in March, a rubber boots festival in June, and a festival in August. What I like the most is the design of Setsubun in February.

It is a Nunotaki in Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture. I was able to comfortably be bathed in negative ions in the water that gushed between the shiny black rocks.

<Yes, go ahead> The joy of the Gion Festival is not only to ward off evil. yamaboko collection of all 35 red seals is one of them. The gaze of the person who draws the red seal and the person who receives it was wonderful.

<Gion Festival Let's go! To the Ryosho> I would be happy if you could convey the atmosphere of the Gion Festival Shinko Festival. Hand-held photography from about 500m away. * Permission to shoot is obtained in advance.

< 600 whits, whits> We hope that you can convey the power and shouts of carrying the mikoshi of the Gion Festival and the West Throne.

I'm < nervous~! > At the Gion Festival, the heaviest of the three mikoshi, the West Throne mikoshi, weighs 3.2 tons. This is the most tense scene in the festival.

<Gion Festival West Throne> It is a scene where the deity of Yasaka Shrine is transferred to three mikoshi and greets the main shrine. The shooting was sweaty.

I was bathing in the forest in the park, and when I looked up, I saw a family of gathering. I took the photo because I liked the relaxed atmosphere. On the other hand, I realized that I used to think that I was "dense" and that I was feeling like I was in the new coronavirus era.

Kurumayama Kogen / Nagano The view from the lift is amazing. I took two lifts to the summit of Kurumayama.

Utsukushigahara Highlands/Nagano We enjoyed hiking at an altitude of 2000m.

Utsukushigahara Highlands/Nagano Pony with kind eyes

Kurumayama Kogen / Nagano Kirigamine of the Japan 100 famous mountains. The main peak is Kurumayama with an altitude of 1925 m. Kirigamine literally has a lot of fog, but on this day it was sunny and I was able to enjoy the lift with the best view. You can clearly see Lake Shirakaba below and Mt. Tateshina in the back. The Kurumayama Highland Lift can be ridden with pets, so I saw a lot of dogs. Mt.kurumayama/Nagano,Japan
