These are guests from abroad relaxing in the boat houses of Inecho, Kyoto Prefecture. You can also enjoy fishing from the inn's rooms. The photos were taken in September.

A shot at Misen Main Hall on the summit of MtMisen in Hiroshima Prefecture. I planned to walk to the top, but I ended up taking the ropeway. Even so, I’m smiling. Next time I’ll come by proper hike. This jizo statue is called "Gomen-ne Jizo" or "Negai Jizo." It’s a presence that accepts people’s regrets and wishes.

I photographed a group of young people wandering the Tottori Sand Dunes in autumn, captured as silhouettes.

Rikugien Gardens in Tokyo has put on a spectacular display of autumn leaves. It was truly a full bloom of fall color.

I thought the autumn leaves were already over in mid-December, but when I went shopping in Chiba on the Boso peninsula, I stopped by a water mill while exploring the sights and found a beautiful display of autumn leaves. There was no parking lot, and the water mill caught my eye. The maple leaves were a vivid red, and the fallen leaves were beautiful too, so I enjoyed the last bit of autumn this year.

A photo taken during a trip to Shikoku. Taken on November 26 at Ritsurin Park in Kagawa. It was peak autumn foliage, and the contrast of red, yellow, and green looked wonderful. The weather was calm with no wind, and the trees reflected beautifully on the water. Once December arrives, it gets colder, and viewing night scenes becomes an experience of shivering in the cold. At the end of November, the temperature was pleasantly mild, so I enjoyed the autumn colors and took photos before the real winter set in.

On November 30, 2025, many monks gathered at Sumadera Temple in Suma, Kobe, and were singing in chorus.

On November 30, 2025, at Suma-dera in Suma, Kobe. The fall foliage and the red beneath the eaves were gorgeous.

I visited Izumo Taisha in Shimane Prefecture ⛩️ I love shrines in the early morning when no one is around ✨ I paid my respects during the sacred kamiari-zuki, when the eight million gods from across Japan gather at Izumo Taisha to hold meetings about matchmaking and bountiful harvests 😊

This is our family’s annual tradition. A praying mantis comes to lay eggs.

This is an autumn scene at Roka Koshun-en Gardens in Setagayaku, Tokyo Metropolis. The park preserves the former home of novelist Tokutomi Roka and is beloved by the local community. From a corner of the park’s bamboo grove I framed a maple tree with autumn leaves. I think it captures a very Japanese landscape.

This autumn scene was taken at Showa Memorial Park in Tachikawa City, Tokyo Metropolis. Rows of ginkgo trees line both sides of the canal, and every year many people gather to enjoy their stunning fall colors.

This is an autumn scene at Takahata Fudoson in Hino City, Tokyo Metropolis. Though the temple is famous for its hydrangeas, its fall foliage is also worth seeing.

Late autumn on the Harima Sea. On windy days the waves grow high and the currents shape them into a variety of forms.

On the bridge at Tennoji Station. A November weekend morning with a clear sky that warms the heart just by watching. Autumn is drawing to a close, but there’s an exciting feeling that something new is about to begin. For some it may be just another ordinary day, but for others it becomes a beautiful scene—the start of a day. The beginning of encounters, the beginning of a journey.

In December, Uenokouen still holds the last traces of autumn. On the way back from a visit to Tokyo University of the Arts and viewing an exhibition, I was delighted to see the autumn leaves and took these photos. I hope I pass and can come back here to see the autumn foliage again next year.

It's the Devil's Banquet! Scary masks, bone plates, and shadowy staging. Yet the star is a little devil holding a spoon with a smile. Tonight only, fear becomes a feast. Photo location: home
