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 Taketaro's post "Tsumagojuku in Nagano Prefecture". It is an impressive photo of a traditional Japanese house illuminated by the shining light. Located in Nagiso Town, Kiso District, Nagano Prefecture, Tsumago-juku is one of the five highways built in the Edo period. While the traditional townscape disappeared with the passage of time, we succeeded in preserving the old townscape for the first time in Japan. In recognition of these efforts, it was 1976 Showa 51 selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. The Terashita area, where the townscape preservation activities were first carried out, can be said to be the origin of Tsumago-juku. Wakihonjin Okutani, which has a hearth and allows you to experience the atmosphere of that time, was designated as an important cultural property of the country in 2001 Heisei 13. From November to February, you can see a fantastic sight of light pouring down from the lattice. Tsumago-juku has plenty of accommodation. "Onjuku Daikichi" is a guest house that harmonizes tradition and modernity. You can enjoy hinoki baths, Daikichi original dishes, chirashi soba sushi, ancient rice rice, etc. Located along the Nakasendō, Hanaya is a convenient ryokan with a large public bath and a private shower room, making it a popular ryokan for overseas tourists. Typical gourmet foods around Tsumago-juku are soba noodles and gohei mochi. We recommend Gohei mochi made with buckwheat flour from "Restaurant Kongoya" and Gohei mochi with sauce made with local mountain gurumi from "Shinya". At the restaurant "Otoyoshi" and the ryokan "Fujioto", you can taste local cuisine. ◆Tsumago-juku◆ 【Access】 From JR Nagiso Station Bus about 10 minutes / Taxi about 10 minutes Nagiso Town Regional Bus Timetable using Magome Line and Hojin Line About regional buses and shared taxis Nagiso Town Hall About 40 minutes on foot via Nakasendō or National Route 19/National Route 256 side road sidewalk

I was able to take Sunday off for the first time in a long time, so I went to Himeji Castle, a World Heritage Site. There was an event called "Kagamihana Suigetsu", and I waited for about 50 minutes for a long line in the strong wind, and the water swayed in the wind so much that Himeji Castle could not be photographed, and the use of a tripod monopod was prohibited, and the shooting time was only 4 minutes, so it was a dense shoot, so it was not very picturesque, but somehow I did my best with a camera from a long time ago and waited 😅 for the timing when the wind stopped. Even in such a situation, I wonder if you can easily shoot with today's high-performance mirrorless ... 😌

There are heart decorations everywhere on the site, and it is said that finding a hidden heart will improve your luck in love. "Biei Shirogane Onsen" is a hot spring that represents Biei.

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 "Nguyen Vu" post "Night view of Byodo-in Phoenix Hall". The contrast between light and shadow of the Byodo-in Phoenix Hall is impressive. Located in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, Byodoin Phoenix Hall is one of the World Heritage Sites of Ancient Kyoto. It is also famous for being depicted on a Japanese 10-yen coin. The history of Byodo-in Temple dates back to the first year of Tenki 1053. It was built by Sekihaku Fujiwara Yorimichi at the time, and the following year the Phoenix Hall was built as the Amida Hall, a Buddhist hall with Amitabha Buddha as its main deity. The name Phoenix Hall comes from the fact that when viewed from the front, it looks like a bird with outstretched wings, and a golden phoenix is attached to the roof. The biggest feature of Phoenix Hall is that it is built in a style that looks as if it is floating in a pond Aji Pond. On clear days, the superb view of the phoenix hall reflected in the pond is also popular as a photo spot. We recommend shooting in the morning when it is in good light or in the background of the sunset. The grounds are full of attractions, such as the garden, which has been designated as a national historic site and place of scenic beauty, and the Brahma bell. ◆Byodo-in Phoenix Hall◆ 【Address】〒611-0021 116 Uji Renka, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture 【Access】 JR Nara Line About 10 minutes walk from Uji Station Keihan Uji Line About 10 minutes on foot from Uji Station 【Opening Hours】8:30~17:30Reception closes at 17:15 【Inside the Phoenix Hall】9:30~16:30 Capacity of 50 people each time Please check the official website for details.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce Menma's post "Kanazawa Station's specialty "Komon". The unique design of the gate is a powerful photo. Kanazawa Station, located in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture in the Koshinetsu region, is a representative station of Kanazawa City, which was selected as one of the "14 most beautiful stations in the world" by an American travel magazine. The Tsuzumimon and Hospitality Dome in front of the station were completed in March 2005 as part of the city's redevelopment. The 13.7-meter-high drum gate is inspired by the drums of Noh, a traditional performing art of Kanazawa. The concept of the Hospitality Dome is "the spirit of hospitality that offers an umbrella to people who get off the station" in Kanazawa, where there is a lot of rain and snow. Both were designed by architect Ryuzo Shirae. Illuminated from sunset to 0:00, Drum Gate is also a popular photo spot. At the nearby shopping mall, you can buy souvenirs and traditional crafts, and you can also enjoy ramen, which is also a Kanazawa gourmet. For accommodation, we recommend hotels near the east exit of Kanazawa Station, and have good access to Kenrokuen Garden, which is famous for its Japan garden. ◆Kanazawa Station◆ 【Address】〒920-8580 Ishikawa Prefecture, Kanazawa-shi, Kinoshinbocho 1-1 【Access】 railway Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka: about 2 hours and 30 minutes
