Okayama Korakuen Garden is one of the three most famous gardens in Japan in Okayama City. Every year from August 1st to 31st, the summer night illumination event "Fantasy Garden" is held. The lighting direction also changes little by little every year. During the period, projections and concerts are also held. It is also good to take a walk in the illuminated Japanese garden at night when it gets a little cooler.

Went to Fukushima over the Golden Week holiday. On our first day we took a bus to Ouchi-Juku and had a great time looking at all the buildings and different shops. The negi soba (soba with a large leek) is famous there so my girlfriend ended up ordering that. She said it was a bit difficult to eat, but fun and tasted great. We also ended up trying a variety of different snacks in the area. The Age-Manju (deep fried manju) was really tasty and we actually ended up getting again later. I was able to take a photo from the famous photo spot at Ouchi-Juku as well (photo #4). I only have an iPhone camera, so the quality isn't the best, but I'm happy with how it turned out. On the way back from Ouchi-Juku we returned via Yunokami Onsen Station and so we got to use the footbath that was attached to the station. It was a really great way to rest up after walking for so long. The station itself was also really photogenic, so I snapped a couple photos from the platform and between the railroad tracks. The hotel we were staying at for the night was in Aizu-Wakamatsu and on the way we found a nice little shop with a large akabeko cow outside and the staff was kind enough to take a photo of us with it. For dinner, we went to a place called Sassa (左雨) and had a really great time. We ended up talking to the owners for a bit and they were super nice. It was also the best tonkatsu I've eaten in my entire life. It was cooked tp perfection, and the dressing that came with the salad and cabbage matched perfectly with it. We probably ended up eating way too many fried foods but it was all really tasty. The next day we visited Tsuruga Castle. The castle was quite cool, but it was a bit more crowded than Ouchi-Juku. Considering it was Golden Week, it wasn't much of a surprise. Either way we had a great time. We started off going for a boat ride around the moat (I got my daily exercise in, as I was rowing the whole time lol). After that we went up into the castle and were able to see a view of the city from the top which was pretty cool. There were also live performances going on in the field in front of the castle which were fun to watch. At that point it was about lunch time so we went over to the row of food stalls (photo #16) and grabbed a bite to eat. There were shops selling all sorts of goods as well, so we spent some time window shopping. After Tsuruga Castle, we went to Oyakuen Garden (御薬園). We ended up sharing a green tea by the pond and relaxing for a bit which was nice. There were a lot of koi inside the pond and a variety of birds flying around as well, so the atmosphere was very relaxing. Photo #20 is supposedly the best view in the garden (it was written on a sign) so I snapped a photo of it. The photo doesn't do it justice, but it was a really incredible view. All in all, we had a really amazing time in Fukushima, but we definitely would like to visit again, as there's a lot we didn't get to do still. I really wanted to try an akabeko workshop but we didn't get the chance, which was a bit disappointing, but we still had a lot of fun, so I can't complain. I definitely recommend visiting Aizu-Wakamatsu if you have the chance!

COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest PR

Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"! This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS". Today, I would like to introduce Yuki's post "Cherry blossoms in Shinjuku Gyoen bathed in the light of the setting sun". It is a beautiful photo of the cherry blossoms that have increased in color with the setting sun. Shinjuku Gyoen, which straddles Shinjuku and Shibuya wards in Tokyo, is a landscape garden that was born in 1906 (Meiji 39). The garden covers an area of about 58 hectares, and you can enjoy nature throughout the four seasons. In spring, it is a popular cherry blossom viewing spot where about 900 cherry trees of about 70 species are in full bloom. Since the flowering time differs depending on the type of cherry blossom, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms for a long time, from the early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms in January to the Yae cherry blossoms in April. Many people visit it as an oasis in Shinjuku's building district. In addition, there are restaurants, cafes, greenhouses, children's squares, etc. in the park, and there are many attractions. From late March, the cherry blossom light-up event "NAKED Sakura no Shinjuku Gyoen 2023" will be held. In collaboration with NAKED Co., Ltd., you can enjoy various light-ups, projection mapping, and cherry blossoms. 【Event Period】Friday, March 31, 2023 ~ Sunday, April 23, 2023 During the busy season when last year's cherry blossoms are in full bloom, advance reservations are made for admission, and although there is no announcement at this time, there is a possibility that the same will be made in 2023. It is a good idea to check in advance on the Internet. ◆Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden◆ 【Address】〒160-0014 11 Naito-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 【Access】 About a 5-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line "Shinjuku Gyoenmae Station" Exit 1 【Parking lot】Available (Please check the official website for details.) )

Hotel Okura Kobe's garden. On a day when snow piled up in Kobe, the Japan garden was covered in snow. Hotel Okura Kobe has excellent buildings, rooms, meals, and the service of the staff. I love this hotel, I recommend it.

I took my one-and-a-half-year-old daughter to Ritsurin Park. Nailed to the colorful Nishikigoi that you see for the first time. Will you be surprised and cry? I thought, but I was looking at it happily with a smile. I was able to feed them without being afraid. From this day on, my daughter started looking for carp when she saw the waterside. It's hard to see such a colorful Nishikigoi, so I'm going to bring it here again. It is a wonderful garden where you can feel the change of seasons.

Finally managed to visit Shinjuku Gyoen over the weekend Been meaning to go here for a while now and finally had the chance The park itself was quite large, it was a bit surprising how much space it actually takes up in the city. There were a lot of cool stone lanterns and other structures to see throughout the park as well. The Taiwan building was pretty interesting to learn about. Apparently it was donated to Japan in 1924 by Japanese people living in Taiwan. The sign outside mentioned that it was a nice place to feel the breeze and it wasn't a lie either. It felt really nice standing on the balcony overlooking the pond. The breeze came through perfectly. Unfortunately we didn't bring a blanket with us to the park but there were a lot of other people laying down on the grass and it looked like a nice place to have a picnic. We stopped at one of the rest areas and grabbed some drinks as well. I got a lemonade drink that was really refreshing and she got a café latte. We took a quick tour through the greenhouse at the end as well and it had a lot of cool plants inside. I found this flower with grey leaves that I thought was really cool looking. I definitely want to return during autumn to see how the park looks after the leaves change!

It is the garden of Ōshoji Temple in Fukusaki Town, Hyogo Prefecture. Kansai Hanaji Temple 25th Sacred Ground No. 8 and Banshu Yakushi Sacred Site No. 13 are famous as Sara temples. In front of the mountain gate, there is a reclining Buddha with a head and feet made of stone and a body of Satsuki with a height of about 8 meters. As befits a flower temple, you can see not only Sara but also seasonal flowers. From spring to summer, the green of the azaleas seen from inside is beautiful, and in autumn, you can enjoy a dreamy world of reflection with the addition of bright red camellia.
