This is a photo taken at Saizakiura Beaches in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture. I went outbound with my colleagues at work to watch the fireworks. It's not like we're always together, and when you look at it from the sidelines, the six of us are hugged, but for some reason, I feel like we were able to stay at the same time and with the same feeling. Each of them lit their own fireworks and enjoyed talking to each other from time to time. It was a moment when things in my heart that I couldn't usually say spilled out.

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. At Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, it is said that festivals are held according to the lunar calendar. It is a great exorcism of Xia Yue.

“AKIHOSIDAI” Location : Akiyoshidai, Mine, Yamaguchi When I think of Akiyoshidai, I picture blue skies and green fields. But this place has many faces, revealing new beauty with each season and time of day. After a chance visit under the stars, I planned a shoot for July 25th, during the new moon. Seeing the sky filled with stars over the familiar grasslands was unforgettable. It was a special experience that reminded me again why I love capturing moments like these.

Summer has arrived 🌻 Last week Gokasecho saw many rainy and cloudy days, but this week the weather has been pure summer ✨ with the sun dazzling every day 😎 I drove out to Shirataki to look for a bit of cool air 🚗 Just watching the water fall from a drop of about 20 meters felt refreshing 😊 Along the way there was a sunflower field in full bloom 🌻 It was a spot I’d never known about before, so I felt like I’d discovered a great treat 🎵 People often picture Miyazaki Prefecture as hot, but Gokasecho sits surrounded by high mountains ⛰ Because of that, average summer temperatures are a few degrees lower than other parts of the prefecture, and mornings and evenings can be chilly enough to need a light blanket. Many nights you can sleep soundly without air conditioning 😉 (Last night was actually quite cool and I slept under a blanket 😅) Escape the summer heat and come refresh your body and mind in Gokase this summer ✨

It is Yutoku Inari Shrine in Saga Prefecture. In summer, wind chimes with many wishes are displayed. The Yutoku Inari Shrine has a window chime hanging as soon as you enter the gate. The sound is the best. I visited here because I wanted to be healed by the sound of this wind chime and window chime. On this day, the window chimes、、、、 I was tangled (crying) So, jump. It doesn't reach me、、、。 My companion jumps with a plastic bottle. Oh, it arrived. But I still can't get tangled up. After trying many times, the entanglement came off. At the same time, the wind blew in. With the sound of a window chime A chorus of many wind chimes rang out The heat is also pleasant with the wind I was healed by the air and sound of Yutoku Inari Shrine. "Thank you very much, and I'll be back again. I hope everyone is happy." I made such a request. The Yutoku Inari Shrine in the summer is one of my favorite and recommended shrines.

I left home at 8 a.m. and returned at 11 p.m. I went to bed immediately because I had to work tomorrow (laughs). So, I watched the fireworks for about 10 minutes. It was the first time I saw fireworks here. As a pleasure to go to the venue someday, On this day, I was able to see it from a certain hidden gem without crowds. While feeling the slightly lukewarm breeze that seems to be a summer night. Just silently. Nearby, a strange family watches "Oh! Heart! Oh! Nicochan!" It was a butterfly flower. From the venue as if to coincide with it I could hear cheers when the heart fireworks and the Nicochan mark fireworks went up. We're just too hard Maybe I was just tired 、、、 (laughs). But it was good. Even though I was tired, I was able to make memories that will remain in my heart for a long time.

Nagasaki Sasebo, Miura Wharf International Terminal It is the Roux boat pier. It is decorated to entertain tourists from overseas. Goldfish lanterns are summer in Japan. Summer in Japan is a goldfish scoop at festivals I think most Japan people have experienced it. The scooped goldfish was taken home and kept at home. Recently, in the summer, I have often seen this goldfish lantern decoration. What do foreigners think? I like the Roux ship and often go to see the ship, but I wonder if there are any foreigners who stop at this goldfish eye. It's very cute, so I hope you take a picture of it as a memory of your trip. I went to see the boat, but my eyes met with this goldfish, so I couldn't help but take a picture. A fateful meeting? I wonder. It was a summer decoration in Japan.
