A group of edgeworthia chrysantha in Shiso City that I went to see with my family for the first time It was awesome. When I saw the sparkling gold in the dim forest, I was moved and amazing. It was fantastic, like a firefly, and it was just sparkling as if I had entered a fairytale world.

Princess firefly at Jomaru Shrine in Tamba, Hyogo Prefecture There are many spots to shoot fireflies in Tamba, but I had never seen many fireflies on the water and there were many other photographers, but I wanted to shoot in front of the waterfall, so I crossed the river alone and came closer, but on the way back, I groped in total darkness and couldn't use any lights, so it was difficult to turn back. And although I managed to get back to the way I came, I was bitten by a leech and bloodied.

Taken in the ‎⁨Shinjuku Gyoen⁩, ⁨Shinjuku⁩, ⁨Tokyo⁩, ⁨Japan⁩ I really wanted to capture what was the true essence of a Japanese garden.

Japan's ability to create these nature spaces is truly amazing and I had hoped that this photo would do it justice.
