I thought this was a really nice article and video. I hadn't heard about Utase ships or Utase fishing before. I mentioned the other day in a post about the Edo-Tokyo Museum how I really liked seeing the architecture of the ships and just happened to come across this today. I love how you can see a full broadside view of the ship and its sails. Apparently there are a bunch of different varieties of sails and different numbers used depending on the size, etc. of the ship. I've never had the opportunity to go to Kumamoto sadly, but I'd like to see this in action if I get the chance. I've seen a lot of photos of Kumamoto Castle as well, so that's definitely something I'd be checking out if I visited. I'd like to do it in the spring to see the cherry blossoms as well.

To 🌻 see the sunflower It was my first place to go, but it was ☺️ a wonderful place where you can see the sunflower, the sea, the sky, and the lighthouse in the distance.

Filming location Neighborhood park In the rain, I photographed a cicada that was perched well below a tree without one chirping. I'm sure you're depressed by a female cicada. I pressed the shutter while thinking.

It opened in 1915 Taisho 4 and is one of the remains of the Kumanobu Railway. Although the railway was abandoned 1964 Showa 39, this octagonal tunnel, which was built to prevent falling rocks, has many mysteries in shape and structure, and you can feel the mysterious space with seven tunnels in a row. Please go when Corona is over.

Kagoshima Chuo Station, the land gateway to Kagoshima Prefecture, is characterized by a Ferris wheel called the Amulan. Looking at it from the bridge over the Kōtō River, the illuminations begin to light up at sunset, ending the day for local residents.

Illumination of Hakata Station Every year at the end of the year 12/30 and 31, I go to UVERworld live in Fukuoka. This photo was taken at Hakata Station on the way back. Every year when I arrive at the station after the concert, I will definitely come back next year to see this wonderful scenery! I did my best next year and made it through the end of the year! I am passing the year with the feeling that I vow to come to Fukuoka with that feeling. It's getting Coronavirus pandemic, it's getting harder to travel and hold live shows, and I'm worried about whether I'll be able to go this year. UVERworld's live performances and music are irreplaceable, and I have come to love the cityscape and delicious food of Hakata! I was sad to post that I hope that Corona will end soon and that the day when I can spend a happy end of the year like before will come as soon as possible. Right now, there is no exit in sight, but I will do my best every day while waiting for the "day" that will come.
