I like lotuses Both flowers and roots

Grape picking in Tokyo's 23 wards! Shine muscat and Kyoho grapes It was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture of it in a bunch Grapes are good, aren't they?

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

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.

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.

Bright blue summer sky, white clouds, sugarcane fields, bright red hibiscus. Standard of summer. Summer in Okinawa is somewhat nostalgic.

A beach with strong sunlight that makes sweat drip down just by being there. People swimming, people lying down, people flying. The sea is really lively in summer. But when the sun goes down, the appearance suddenly changes. Suddenly there is silence. That's where my daylight saving time started. Corals and shellfish falling at your feet. Pick up and pile up. Enjoy the summer in Okinawa. Enjoy summer in Japan.

This is a photo of Kawarage Hell in Akita Prefecture that I went to this summer. The yellow area is where sulfur is exposed, and toxic gas is also emitted, so there is a no-go area. It took us 6 hours round trip in the extreme heat to traverse a gravel mountain where not a single plant or tree grows. I wanted to soak in the Hot Spring at Oyu Falls at the foothills, but the intense heat made me have no energy and after returning to the inn, I enjoyed the Specialties mud Hot Spring until late at night

I went to Kawarage Hell in the central part of Akita Prefecture this summer. I left my luggage in the Outbound Ryokan to the muddy Hot Spring with the demand Taxi I had reserved from Yuzawa Station, and the inn told me that it was a 15-minute one-way walk, but it took me 30 minutes due to the heat on Squid climb. From this point, you can go down the sulfur mountain in the photo to Yuno Falls. I prepared a water suit, but I was exhausted from the heat and didn't have the energy to go in. When I came here about 50 years ago, many people were enjoying the Hot Spring, but this year I saw only 2~3 people Squid the heat. I was told that the descent would take about 15 minutes, but in Squid end, it took me 6 hours to go back and forth. On the way, I received a worried phone from the inn. It was good to arrive in time for dinner at the inn

I went to Kawarage Hell in Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture this summer. It was a time when the road was partially open and it was difficult to approach by car, so there were few people, and it was like wandering in a sulfur hell with a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius alone. The Water of plastic bottles soon ran out, and the Toilet on the way were also prohibited from being used, so I couldn't get Water, and I only saw people from time to time, so I couldn'Squid t afford to get a heat stroke here Vacation so I walked slowly and walked slowly, one step at a time, and so on. When I look back at the photos now, I'm glad I'm alive

It is the scenery of Kawarage Hell near Muyu Hot Spring in Akita Prefecture. On the foothills, there is a waterfall of hot water that There are soaked in Hot Spring. The temperature was about 35 degrees Celsius this summer. It was so hot that there were few people and no shade trees, and I couldn't get a Water of it, and I felt that my life was in danger, but I was saved by the Water of the public toilet that I finally reached. I'm glad I'm safe, and even when I look back at the photos now, I can't help but feel a strange power
