(3/3) I went to "Maruike spring water" in the spring water Town of Kagoshima Prefecture! I had been to Maruike spring water before, but this harvest was a small path that continued from the back of the pond. There was a waterway that I liked, so I went on, and at first it was a beautiful road with a bamboo fence and stylish electric lights, but as I went deeper, I was able to pass by a few private houses, and I was able to take a quiet and absent-minded walk. From the next time I went, I was satisfied that this path was also a set, and it was Maruike spring water in the summer of 2024.

(2/3) I went to "Maruike spring water" in the spring water Town of Kagoshima Prefecture! On this day, there were few ripples, and the bottom of the water was very visible. You can feel the underlying power of Maruike spring water where the dead leaves submerged in the water do not interfere with the scenery. Also, there is a staircase in the water that feels a little algae. If you concentrate only on this area, you can enjoy a submerged sense of the city (maybe). Then there was the moss thriving at a level that you would never see in the water. There were many of them growing as vigorously as broccoli, and it was a forest. of moss.

Fukuoka Prefecture may not be on the typical tourist route, but it harbors countless hidden gems, and Nanzoin Temple is undeniably one of the most noteworthy. It claims to house the world's largest bronze reclining Buddha statue, which exudes tranquility under the vast blue sky. Despite visiting numerous places, it holds a special place in my heart, infusing me with positivity and making it one of my favorite summer destinations.

(4/4) I went to Aira City, Kagoshima Prefecture Prefecture "Itaide Falls" for the first time. You can go down to the riverside that streams from the Waterfall basin, so I was able to enjoy looking into the water and looking directly at the Waterfall basin. Especially here (maybe because it's summer?) There were many creatures, and there was an insect called tiger beetle (*) more than other Valleys and waterfalls. Water stampedes, medaka, crabs, dragonflies unique to the water, etc., were lively and energizing. *... When you look at it up close, it sparkles in various colors and is beautiful, but as soon as you get close, it flies 2 to 3 meters away and you can't see it seriously. And since they usually fly in the same direction as their walking, they often unintentionally look like Squid.

Futamigaura is renowned for the two "wedded rocks" that protrude from the sea, symbolizing conjugal bliss. It offers a beautiful setting for a relaxed coastal outing. At Sakurai Futamigaura, a picturesque shoreline location, the white torii of a nearby shrine frames the wedded rocks. On the summer solstice, the sun sets right in the middle of the Sakurai Futamigaura wedded rocks, creating an unforgettable sight. One thing I must not miss at this incredibly romantic place is capturing a photo of my beloved wife in the frame.

For some reason, I was afraid to take pictures in the Precincts, so I didn't have a photo that was important Kirishima Jingu Shrine, but I and a scene that I thought was wonderful. Normally, I favorite moss in a dim mountain stream covered with trees, but the green of the moss that was painfully illuminated was crisp and I thought, "This is this...". Summer Magic?? This summer, when I have time, I'm looking forward to earning beautiful greenery with my feet.
