In April, I went to "Mandalaji Park" in Konan City, Aichi Prefecture. It is a famous wisteria spot next to the ancient temple "Mandara Temple" in Owari, which was built at the request of Emperor Go-Daigo in the first half of the 14th century. It was the beginning of April, and although it was not in full bloom, the flowers that had just bloomed were full of vitality and I was able to taste the beautiful purple color. I took this photo because there was a place where the wisteria flowers and the tower could be photographed with just the right balance. I was able to take a picture of the blue sky in the background just right.

Shot in Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture. My dream is to take pictures of the snowy scenery of Shirakawa-go, and this is my first time visiting it. Here are the best shots I took while desperately trying to warm up in Cairo in sub-zero temperatures!

I'm very satisfied to be able to take a photo that looks like it appeared in an old story!

It is time to light up Shirakawa-go.

The five-storied pagoda of Ueno park looks very beautiful in every season. Ueno park is one of the most popular spots that hardly need any recommendations yet I want to recommend it because sometimes in a rush we somehow overlook a few things or spots that's why this post. Amid the colorless nature, the red pagoda and flower-printed Japanese umbrella in front of it formed a strangely beautiful scene. Although the pagoda is almost covered in flowers during the sakura season, once on a peony flower exhibition day when I went there I stopped after seeing such a sight.

Another good thing is this place is looks unique and charming in any season of the year.

There is a charming shop where I bought some cute sweets. I’ll report on those sweets next time. Hachioji is an old town with many events and places that preserve traditional culture.

There are stylish plates and cups, and if you walk down the street, you will find yachimun embedded in the walls and flower beds of houses. There are also many fashionable shops!
