This is a photo of when I camped in Tochigi Prefecture. We were talking until late at night and the starry sky was beautiful, so I took 📸 a picture from a little distance. If you Japan a safe place, you can have fun playing even after night! I was able to see ✨ a few fireflies.

First play 🔥 with fire of the year I'll follow☺️ the rules.

This is a piece from Lake Biwa shore solo camp. Lake Biwa is calm. The night view of the opposite shore is reflected in Lake Biwa, Bonfires and lanterns Feel the most romantic It made me brew.

Wow this is amazing. I've heard of Kumano Kodo before, but this is just way too beautiful. One thing I find interesting about this is the two sides of the path It looks as though it's 2 very different areas. The soil on the left and right looks completely different, and the tree on the left are covered in foliage, whereas the trees on the right are all stripped of their leaves. I wonder if this is some cool natural phenomenon. I'd love to go hiking here and find a nice spot by a lake and just have a picnic/barbecue for the day. I wonder if there are any lakes nearby here. I'll have to do a bit of research it seems! I love how just looking at this I can feel the history and imagine how people would have traveled down this path for their pilgrimages hundreds of years ago. Awesome!

Ahhh I can't wait for the cherry blossoms to start blooming. Only about a week left I guess. Today was nice and warm in Tokyo so hopefully that's a continuing trend from here on out as I'm kind of done with the cold weather this year lol! The winter scenery was all really beautiful but I think it's time for spring already. I need to look into buying a new BBQ so I can visit some parks and just relax for a whole day while eating delicious food and admiring the cherry blossoms. Hopefully Shinjuku Gyoen is open around then cuz I think it's been closed for a bit now, we'll see though. Anyways Mishima Taisha looks really cool. I always love seeing a row of cherry blossoms creating a tunnel. I'll have to add it to my list of places to visit in Shizuoka!

Whoa! Now those are some fireworks! Holy crud, this is insane. I don't think I've ever seen fireworks this bright and colorful and I've been to the Omagari Fireworks Festival before! Didn't know that Mie had such amazing fireworks. All of the good fireworks festivals are so far away from Tokyo 😂. Just more reason to explore other areas of Japan though I suppose. Apparently this is the Kihoku Lantern Festival too so I'd get to see some beautiful lanterns on the water as well. Hopefully I can get out some this summer, been cooped up indoors for way too long at this point, and I'm starting to miss the fresh nippon breeze 😂. Hopefully spring comes somewhat early this year so I can see some cherry blossoms and drink some plum wine while barbecuing lol!

First Post! Hachioji BBQ@ in the park
