I want to enter a photo contest and this is my first posted! Oishi Park on the shore of Lake Kawaguchi is the best time to visit kochia, so I went to Yamanashi Prefecture. On this day, there was a time when the moon did not rise, so I thought that I would Squid to take a picture with the starry sky, but unfortunately it was forecast to be cloudy on the day. After slowly taking a dip in the Hot Spring with a disappointing feeling, I suddenly went outside and looked up at the sky, and it was sunny! I suppressed my feeling of impatience and headed to Oishi Park by Car and was able to take a picture. The contrast between the cap clouds over Mt. Mount Fuji, the clouds reflected by the town lights, and the pleasant starry sky creates a good atmosphere, and as a result, it became a very favorite piece of the seasonal scenery and coincidence.

Cruising through Dotonbori at night was the highlight of my first trip to Japan.

On a warm summer afternoon, people found quiet moments to rest under the sunlight at Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo. Some read books, others lay down on the grass, simply enjoying the slow and peaceful rhythm of the day. Watching everyone enjoy their time made me realize how romantic and relaxing Japanese summers can be.
