Located in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture, is the daffodil of Tamaso Shrine. Local people started planting it as volunteers. Plum trees are also planted, and it is a wonderful place where you can relax and heal in the chilly season.

Today, in the series "Kobe, Rediscovered", we will deliver the "Cherry Blossom Tunnel" in Nada Ward, a famous place for cherry blossoms, as the seventh stage. The weather has finally passed spring, and the cherry blossom season is approaching again this year. This famous spot in Takao-dori, Nada-ku, Kobe City, is a slope of about 400 meters from north to south, and 70 old Yoshino cherry trees are planted on both sides of the road. This row of cherry blossom trees was planted in the Taisho era at the same time as the opening of the Maya Cable. The appearance is shaped like branches and leaves on both sides covering the road like a tunnel, so I think you can comfortably enjoy the cherry blossom trees if you walk through it leisurely. The photo was taken on April 2 of last year, when it was in full bloom. The petals in the foreground are dyed red by traffic lights photographing the cherry blossoms at night before dawn Please note that during the flowering season, there are a little more people passing by, and this is a road that city buses also pass through. At the top of the hill is the Maya Cable station. You can go to the top of Mt. Maya by cable car, so next time I would like to deliver the night view from the Kikuseidai.

This time I want to recommend abashiri, a city on the northeastern coast of hokkaido. A city that faced toward sea of okhotsk. During winter you can enjoy drift ice festival. During this season they organize Lake Abashiri smelt fishing. It was a once in a lifetime experience for us. Here in this picture we were actually walking on the frozen lake abashiri. Here one can walk in the middle of frozen lake.

My first trip since my daughter was born! It was a beautiful sea *^^*

Todaiji Temple I visited Nara Park on a family trip. It was my first time to go during the cherry blossom season and I was able to enjoy the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The collaboration between Nara's wonderful cherry blossoms and deer, which are said to be messengers of the gods, is sacred and seems to reflect the four seasons of Japan even more wonderfully. Nara Park and Todaiji Temple, which show various expressions in each season, are really recommended sightseeing spots.

Sapporo Snow Festival The Sapporo Snow Festival was held in earnest for the first time in three years from February 4th. The Odori Park venue is decorated with many snow sculptures, and the Susukino venue is decorated with many ice sculptures. Each is lit up at night, so it is worth seeing. In particular, project mapping is also carried out at the Odori venue.

A special seat with a view of the Tateyama mountain range. From Kurehayama Park in Toyama Prefecture, it is famous as a spot where you can overlook this majestic Tateyama mountain range. On this day, I could see the Tateyama mountain range beautifully and there were many photographers.

Ezaki Park on the west coast of Awaji Island. You can see the cityscape of Kobe across the Akashi Strait.

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.

Kyoto Toji Temple They went in search of snow that might or may not fall in the middle of the night and waved it, so I was able to shoot!

A much less known place in Tokyo. Several tourist and local people usually visit Kama kura to see the great budha but unfortunately many of them don't know this great budha of Tokyo. This great budha of Tokyo is selected as one of the top 100 tourist spot in in new Tokyo. Additionally this is the 3rd largest bronze statue of budha in Japan. This is located in Akatsuka of Itabashi city. Almost no crowd but very well organized place. I highly recommend tourists to visit Tokyo daibutsu during their stay in Tokyo.

Mt. Fuji and the starry sky can be seen from the frozen Lake Yamanaka.

The clock tower in Sapporo is actually quite interesting. Please take a look inside!

Moerenuma Park / Sapporo Moerenuma-Park/Sapporo It is famous for its glass-walled buildings shaped like a triangular pyramid, but I dared to take a picture without showing it. I remember that there was a pleasant breeze blowing and it was very refreshing. I 😆 want to go to Hokkaido again.

Oshino Hakkai is a unique spot in the Fuji Five Lakes regional which is also a mount fuji world heritage site having super clear blue water pond. From there you can see a brilliant view of Mt.Fuji between traditional thatched roof buildings, and a slowly rotating water wheel, that will surely give you an old-day charm. Another good thing is this place is looks unique and charming in any season of the year.

It is a light up of autumn leaves of Baekje Temple in Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture. The autumn leaves in Shiga Prefecture are lit up in various places, but I like this one the most. I thought it was a beautiful place that I still wanted to attract tourists. I often saw Kyorinbo as a photo of the autumn leaves of Shiga last fall, but I would like to tell you that there will be this place in 2023.

Red Fuji 🗻 seen from Lake Yamanaka in winter The view of Mt. Fuji dyed red was truly superb. You can take such powerful photos. I thought it was only Mt. Fuji. using a telephoto lens

Shirakawago / Gifu Shirakawago / Gifu I visited with my family last summer. I took my breath away at the overwhelming presence of gassho-zukuri、、!

Ketawakamiya Shrine / Gifu Ketawakamiya-Shrine / Gifu On a trip to Gifu with my family. This shrine is famous for appearing in the movie "Your Name". After passing through this torii gate and climbing a little mountain road, there is a shrine. The air was clear and I had a spiritual experience. And on the way back, I took this photo when I went through this torii gate. I can still remember the green of the mountains and rice fields and the blue of the sky. I was so moved that I can't put it into words. On a trip to Gifu with my family. This shrine is famous for its appearance in the movie "Your Name".

Cape Chinen Park is located in Nanjo City in the southern part of the main island of Okinawa. It is located near the World Heritage Site "Seiba Utaki". You can see the Pacific Ocean and see the sea about 250 degrees. On a sunny day, you can see the colorful cobalt blue sea, but unfortunately it is light cloudy on this day.

"Kobe, rediscovered" The sixth stage of the series will deliver the art port city of Kobe. The large hotel is located on a protruding wharf in the harbor and is moored by various large ships such as luxury liners. I like it best when a sailing ship is docked Japan Maru in the photo, and the port already has the atmosphere of an overseas resort! The hotel's wave-inspired design is very artistic, and the sailing ship that moves with the power of the wind is truly the ultimate in functional beauty. And in the background, the sunrise of the great nature was painted. At this time of the morning, people are walking and running... I often use Twitter, and when I posted photos of this hotel, I often received replies saying that it was a place of memories. I pray that the city of people, the sky, and the sea will continue to create many memories in the future.
