I Outbound to Iriomote Island in search of the Iriomote wildcat. Train, plane, bus, ship, and bus took 11 hours. It's already overseas. I was tired, but Impression by the sunset, I toasted with sparkling wine and grape juice and got excited. I didn't see any Iriomote wildcats.

Photographed on September 1, 25. I found a wind chime with a red thread. When I find a wind chime with a red thread, I feel like there is something good to come.

Photographed on September 1, 25. It is a wind chime at the edge of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine. It's still hot.

Light up of the former Chikurin-in Temple in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture. I didn't get a good shot of the reflection of the desk. The result is a colorful photo.

Karasawa Falls, located in Chiyo, Iida City, Minami Shinshu, Nagano Prefecture, is a Healing Spot known to those in the know for its Clear streams, which boasts a drop of 30 meters, falling stream. Splash of water and sunlight shine through the trees in summer, and in autumn, you can enjoy the fantastic scenery colored by Autumn leaves. Please visit the famous waterfall, a hidden gem where you can feel the beauty of the Four Seasons. 🚙 The routes runs from Prefectural Road No. 8 through the Forest Road Senen Line. Falling rocks are scattered in places, so please drive with caution.

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. The wind chimes on the veranda had changed to sky blue. At today's monthly festival, we were able to see the dance of Urayasu because of the dance training at Meiji Jingu Shrine.

A refreshing summer sky and a Marker of stopping. When I was a student, at the end of August, I hoped that the summer Vacation would not end. I was thinking, "It's time, stop." Adult, it's strange and interesting to wish for faster progress. I wonder if it is because of such feelings that I unconsciously take pictures of the Marker of "Stop".

I like grilled pineapple Flowers are refreshing It was delicious.

Memories of summer. It's the last day of summer Vacation. Finally, I was able to yo-yo fishing. After. It was fun and difficult. It's hot today. When I yo-yo, it felt cool.

At dusk, the midsummer sun gradually diminishes its brilliance and begins to tilt into the western sky. The sunflower fields in Kasai Rinkai Park were enveloped in a tranquility that induced township, different from the lively daytime. The sunflowers spread all over the place, shining their faces as if they were sparing the last rays of the sun. At that Time Slot / Time of Day, I was crazy about taking the shutter. In that place where many many sunflowers are in bloom, this one sunflower caught my eye. Illuminated by the setting sun, the gradation of light and shadow woven by the petals was like a painting. I deliberately cut out the brightly colored sunflowers in monochrome because I wanted to take a break from the hustle and bustle of color and express the universal beauty of form created by the soft light of dusk and the vitality of looking powerfully at the end of the day. Because it is a world of black and white, the delicate texture of the petals, the powerful stems that stand out in the shadows, and the center that shines in the western sun stand out. It was as if this sunflower was telling us, "Be yourself and shine in any situation." This piece is more than just a summer scene. I took this photo in the hope that it would give hope to the viewer's heart and be deeply engraved in their hearts as an unforgettable memory of the passing summer twilight.

Speaking of summer, isn't it?

This is a commemorative photo taken at the Ridge Walk in Komuroyama, Ito City, Shizuoka Prefecture. I went there in August. The sea of Izu was the source of the view

At the end of July, I took a walk along the Coast of Atami around 5 o'clock in the morning, just after sunrise. I could see a raft off the coast, but after a while, the people on the raft jumped into the sea one after another and disappeared from sight. I felt like I was looking at a tropical sea

In the summer of 2017, I went to White Rice Senmaida in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture. At that time, the terraced fields led to the sea, and I was able to stroll along the path as shown in the photo. Now it has collapsed in the earthquake to cover my eyes. I can only pray that we will soon be able to regain the lush and beautiful scenery like the one in the photo

Photographed 8/25/25. This is CAFE ANDON's morning. It is a set of pot-au-feu and campagne.

About 5,000 hydrangeas bloom on the shores of vast Paddy Fields in Kaisei Town, Kanagawa Prefecture. Among them, the most beautiful white hydrangea "Annabelle" was shining in the Sunrise that heralded the visit of summer. The contrast between the golden light reflected in the Paddy Fields and the pure Flowers reflects the "blessings of summer" that can be said to be the original scenery of Japan.

Waiting for the rice harvest, the path that runs straight through the golden rice fields and the blue sky that can be seen beyond. I could feel the end of summer and the visit of autumn. However, the temperature was 37 degrees Celsius, and the sunlight was so strong that I felt murderous intent. The gap between the scenery and the eyes was amazing. I wonder if autumn will really come...

Snapped at sunrise on August 18, 2023, this photo captures me on Mt. Fuji’s crater, glowing in the morning light. I’ve hiked many of Japan’s famous hundred mountains, but Fuji’s sunrise hits different—sacred, breathtaking, and utterly unforgettable.

Snapped this at Mishima Oh Matsuri on Aug 15, 2023, when all the Dashis from different Mishima's area came alive together. The energy was electric, and I was blown away by the crowd’s passion. Changed my whole trip for this, and it felt so worth it!

A big festival in August on Notowa Island. They all drank a lot of alcohol and went into the sea. It is a time of happy memories before the Great Earth earthquake. The location is Sodegahama Coast in Wajima

Fourteen years ago, on September 4, sunflowers were planted in a fallow field in prayer for the recovery of the Great Water Damage on the Kii Peninsula caused by a typhoon. A whopping 100,000 flowers this year!

This is a scene from the Noto Wajima Grand Festival. Sodegahama Coast on a hot summer evening in August 2017. That person who was enthusiastic about the sea and the festival after the great earthquake will not return anymore...

Photographed 8/25/25. This is CAFE ANDON's homemade Ume Plum Soda.

August 15. Hatsubon. I went back to my parents' house. Fireworks at the grave of my deceased grandfather. We talked about our memories of our grandfathers and the latest news of each of them. Although she is a little embarrassed to see her parents and cousins for the yellowtail first time in a long time, everyone's hands gather around the candlelight. I hope this time continues. This is one that I took in a hurry just with that in mind. I'll be back again. My memories of this summer.

Photographed 8/25/25. It is a wind chime at the edge of Hikawa Ryofuso (Hikawa Kaikan). Currently, Hikawa Ryofuso is closed.

Tsuruga Castle ✨✨✨ in summer It is 😆😆😆 a castle that was defended by the members of the White Tiger Corps

A foreigner is in front of this Shisa "Gaaaaaaa I was taking a commemorative photo while shouting loudly with my hands outstretched. A giant shisa overlooking the sea. That makes you want to scream.

Lagoon tidal flats. The scenery reflected on the sea surface at low tide is spectacular. Reflection of summer clouds.

The remains of a stone quarry in Yomitan Village. Ruins of industry in the Meiji and Taisho periods. Nostalgia for the distant past. My favorite place that only appears at low tide.
