What an interesting photo... I don't usually associate the buddha with being cute, but this one deserves an exception I suppose lol. Something about the way he's standing and just saying "hey" is really intriguing. It's a really interesting decoration for a chozuya as well. I can't read cursive to save my life, but I think it says something about the Amitabha Buddha? I can only make out the first character and I think it's a longer sutra maybe. Anyways, I've never been to Taisho Temple, it looks like it has a lot of interesting history to enjoy though. It looks like it'd be a nice play to go on a slightly warm day when the cherry blossoms are out, just like in this photo.

Holding a camera for the first time in a long time Went. It was nice to see a nice sunset.

Cherry Blossom Tunnel It was good to see the cherry blossoms again this year ˊᴗˋ

First Post

Location: Ashikaga Flower Park New is a depiction of the lens! Since it is a wide angle, I was able to take a picture quite close ^^ I'm shooting at the open door. The wisteria flowers were beautiful~

Wow, this is so cool. It's crazy that the ground is so shiny here that you can see the cherry blossoms reflecting off the ground. This temple seems like it'd be amazing t visit at night. I wonder how the stars look from here. If you could see them from here that'd make this a 10/10 lol. I'm not actually sure what temple this is, but Japan has so many amazing temples that are like this and they just have some of the most amazing architecture and views. I'll still never forget the first time I went to Kiyomizudera and was just blown away by not only the scale of the temple, but the architecture and history that you could feel just by being there. Might visit a temple over golden week, we'll see. Gotta find out where this is at too!

Take a road trip from Kanto to Kansai... When I went to Osaka Castle, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.

Japan Kairakuen of the Three Famous Gardens. I am impressed by the large grounds, the garden, not even a single garbage, and no weeds.

It is Himeji Castle in the early morning. I was impressed by the beauty of the moat. The photo spot of the Japanese ship was taught to us by a local grandfather during the shooting. I am grateful.

Taken from the bay window of the school. I could see it right next to it, so I was able to see the cherry blossoms. Phew

It is the Great Buddha of Kamakura!

I went to Nabana no Sato. There was a flower staring at me for a moment, so I couldn't help but snap! She was very cute.

Gorgeous photo! I want to visit the Tottori Sand Dunes so badly. There was a photo of them going around the internet a while back with the covered in snow. It's such a strange concept to me having snow on sand. I, and probably most people as well, generally associate sand dunes and deserts with hot weather so it's really sort of fantastical. I've still never actually experienced that in person, and I lived relatively close to a beach most my life. It always got cold there but didn't snow much, or if it did I just wasn't going anywhere near it I suppose lol. The San'in Region is supposed to be full of really amazing natural scenery though so it seems like it'd be a cool place to visit during the summer or even for golden week or something.

Wow this is awesome! I went to Ashikaga Flower Park a while back and had a blast! It was a bit cold when I went but I made sure I got some snacks at one of the vendors. The park was quite a bit larger than I was expecting and the illuminations were really cool as well. I didn't think there'd be so much wisteria but the large trellises were really beautiful. The other flowers in the park were amazing as well obviously, but there's something about the cascading wisteria that just looks so fantastical. Even in this picture you can kind of see how they almost create waves with the lighting and the angle. It kind of reminds me of the Northern Lights, albeit only orange-ish in this photo. What a great photo though. Good memories here!

This photo was taken in Konosu City, Saitama Prefecture.

View from the village of Hide in Ehime Prefecture Like the name, it is a place where you can't tell the entrance unless you know it, but the flower garden that the grandfather carefully carved out and created is peaceful and very healing.

Been seeing a lot of photos of nemophila lately and they're all really beautiful. I'd love to go see them myself. I know there's Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki and I've been over there before, but I didn't know about the park at the time sadly, so I didn't get the chance. It's not too far from central Tokyo though and I know people over in Ibaraki so it's definitely something I'm considering. Not sure how long nemophila are in bloom though, so I'll have to look that up if I don't want to go and have them not be there anymore lol. Today the weather was really great though, hasn't been this warm in a while. Loving it and hope it keeps up like this!

The other day, I returned to Okinawa for 5 nights and 6 days ≧▽≦ I went to a place where only locals go! This photo is... It is located in the southern part. Oshiro tempura restaurant. At a tempura restaurant on Obushima. I arrived before the opening. I spent about an hour taking pictures in the sea in front of me, killing time, and then I went to the store 15 minutes before it opened. There were flickering customers. When I was in line, there were about 30 people behind us at the opening time ≧ω≦ I went there on Friday ... There were many locals and tourists * 'ω'* My father is watching in the sea for the first time in a long time Pashari the back view! Σpω・ ́ Pashari my husband walking on the sandy beach in the distance! Σpω・ ́ * There are no photos of tempura!

This photo reminds me of winter, but not because of the weather, because the trees are all white and it reminds me of rime covered trees that are frozen in winter. I always like seeing white cherry blossoms as they seem a lot more rare. And of course, it's another place in Nagano Prefecture lol. I swear there's no shortage of beautiful scenery in Nagano, I'm not sure as to why that is, but it always has me wanting to go and visit. I guess there's fireworks at the nearby Lake Suwa as well, so that'd be fun to go and see during the summer. I already have so much I want to do in Nagano so this is just a +1 to that list!
