[Englsih/Japanese] In Hachioji City, you can eat dishes from all over the world's cuisines. The other day, I had Sri Lankan home cooking at "Milis," a Sri Lankan restaurant a 5-minute walk from Hachioji Station. It is a healthy dish that doesn't use oil, and it consists of rice topped with various curries and side dishes. It was a complex combination of "sweet", "spicy", "salty", "sour", and "bitter", which I had never tasted before, but it was very delicious. The service at the restaurant was also warm ☕️I will ask more about Sri Lankan food next time since we sometimes communicate with Sri Lankan agents at our school 😊.

Kamikawa, Hyogo Mineyama Highland Starry Campsite On this day, there were few people and only veteran campers, and there were many one-pole tents these days. It was very fashionable and I wanted my own house. However, before that, I wanted to collect more equipment, and unlike the past, recent items are all compact and easy to carry, and I can't stop wanting things every day. Cameras cost money, but camping equipment is also quite expensive... 😅 When I see the happy expressions on my face when I spend time with my family even when there is nothing, there is a time when I can be happy, and there are times when I feel that this is an asset in life.

Summer is the best time to enjoy some water sports and sailing in ocean is one of my favourite. This picture was clicked during last summer when I took an adventure sea sailing at Otaru,Hokkaido.

This photo was taken when three friends went on a trip to Shikashima in Fukuoka Prefecture. It is the best memory blessed with the weather * '∇'*

Wanted to post this earlier this week, but better late than never I suppose. Was walking around Arakawa and they were having a rose festival sort of event it seemed like. Over by Arakawa Amusement Park there was a little area set up with some stalls. I didn't get to check it out but it seemed like there were a lot of people there. The amusement park was also open. I don't think I've seen it open for a while so it was nice to see people are able to visit it again. When I was passing the Arakawa tram I noticed there were tons of roses along the sides of the track that I'd never noticed before so I decided to snap this photo of the pink tram passing by with them.

The result of bald garden care. The result is a splendid look~

Great way to enjoy the sakura season. I saw many people spent their day off on pleasure boats and enjoy the view of beautiful parks and garden near the river. At the same time few love to feed birds and fishes. This picture was taken exactly that moment when a pleasure boat was floating near skytree and one family was feeding those seabirds and you can see the blooming sakura in the background too.

Paddling in a canoe to the middle of Lake Motosu and looking at Mt. Fuji is the best outdoor pleasure.

Marunuma, where rainbow trout have been released since the Meiji era, is a field with a long history that is so popular that it is called a sacred place for trout anglers.

Early in the morning, canoe autumn leaves hunting at Lake Chuzenji in Nishikiaki!

Canoeing around Lake Chuzenji in Nishikiju is the best!

Early morning of summer vacation. In the morning mist of Lake Motosu, there were many people playing stand-up paddleboards.

[Englsih/Japanese] In Hachioji City, you can eat dishes from all over the world's cuisines. The other day, I had dal bhat at the Nepalese restaurant "Naoya", which is a five-minute walk from the school and is located alongside the Hachioji Central Library. "Daal" means bean soup and "bhaat" means rice, just like a set meal in Japan. Nepal is famous for its curry, but daalbhaat was not spicy at all, and had a gentle taste 😊I was glad to finally try this dish, which was introduced to me by a student a few years ago ✨I also tried Ras Malai cottage cheese dumplings dipped in honey for dessert for the first time, and was surprised at how sweet it was!

Japan has a deep rooted cultural heritage and the ethnicities of this country is versatile and beautiful. When my foreigner friends wore those vibrant and gorgeous kimonos they got so much appreciation from the people around them that was overwhelming. And yes it was also my first hand experience as a photographer too.. On that day we enjoyed a lot.

Golden hour at sunrise It was taken in Japan Daira, Shizuoka Prefecture. It was the first early morning photography activity in a long time, and with Mt. Fuji directly behind it, the light fog and the golden hour illuminated by the sunrise soothed my heart.

This photo was taken at the Yamanoji campsite that opened in the Nanshin region of Nagano Prefecture. The tent standing at the solo campsite and the smoke and fresh green of the bonfire were fantastic, illuminated by the sunlight.

This photo was taken in Shizuoka Prefecture, 700 km away. The moe green color and aroma of new tea are very soothing.

Solo camping night feast. Decorate with various lanterns. So, make sake with Aso water.

I have received energy and power from the powerful flow of the fighting dragonada! !!

This photo was taken in Japan Daira, Shizuoka Prefecture. It's been a long time since I've had a morning photo activity. It was a wonderful morning to see the sunrise at the tea plantation and see not only the sea and blue sky but also Mt. Fuji in the background. 2022/5/4

This photo was taken at the Bichuku Branch Temple in Okayama Prefecture. On the way home from work, I stopped by and saw a wonderful sunset with flowers spreading all over the place like a purple carpet, and the sky turned orange. 2022/5/6

Collaboration between Nemophila and Mt. Fuji It was wonderful with blue nemophila, blue sky, and Mt. Fuji spreading all over the place. At Lake Kawaguchi, Yamanashi 2022/5/3

sunset This is a view of Lake Yamanaka. In addition to the sunset, Mt. Fuji, and small boats, it is very nice. If you have time, why not stop by? At Lake Yamanaka, Yamanashi 2022/5/2

Went to Karuizawa for Golden Week! We booked our shinkansen tickets well in advance so we were basically flipping a coin with the weather, but it still managed to be a really fun trip despite 2/3 days being rain. We were able to do a lot of shopping at the outlet mall near the station and other places in the area on the first and third days when it rained so it worked out perfectly. My girlfriend's friend was headed back home from Tokyo the same direction we were headed so she stayed one night with us and then we were able to all hang out and go shopping in Karuizawa for most of the day after which she hopped back on the shinkansen towards home. The second day was really nice weather, despite being just a bit chilly, but it was still nice enough that we were able to rent some bicycles and ride around the area. The place where we rented the bikes gave us a nice sightseeing route to go on and so we were able to see a bunch of different places and use our time effectively. When we were headed into town we crossed a bridge and there was a nice view of Mt. Asama with a ton of fisherman fishing along the river below the bridge. It was a pretty cool sight. We even got to see someone catch a fish as well. We obviously went to Shiraito Falls as well and it was really beautiful. There was a sign behind that described how the water took around 5 years to come out of the ground where the waterfall was or something to that effect as well. The path leading up the waterfall was quite neat as well, with the river running next to it and a giant fallen tree with more smaller waterfalls to go with it. There was also two wooden carvings of the characters from Demon Slayer 鬼滅の刃 which was interesting. The food in the area was delicious as well. We were staying at a pension and we only had breakfast with our stay, so we ended up going to another pension where they had yakiniku and we got a pretty good price for a massive platter of food. I was so full at the end I'm not sure how I made it back to where we were staying for the night lol. The third day we did some shopping up at Harunire Terrace ハルニレテラス and we kind of just relaxed in the area. It was a pretty trendy place surrounded by nature and there was a hot spring up the road as well. We wanted to go in the hot spring but there was a pretty long line so we decided to pass. We ate dinner at one of the restaurants at the terrace and while all of the indoor seats were taken, we were able to get some outdoor seating. It was cold out so I didn't think it would be a good idea, but they had some heaters outside and blankets and it was actually quite enjoyable. Had a lot of fun and it was a really great place. We might travel there again during the summer when it's warmer as well or maybe in autumn when the leaves change color. I definitely recommend giving it a visit!
