My family consists of two younger sisters and my parents. On this day, I went on a family trip for the first time in a long time. The destination is Takachiho Gorge. My first time in Miyazaki. I was able to enjoy nature and refresh myself.

【Concert on the beach】 I went to Kamikawa Beach in Kagoshima Prefecture. It is a famous place for the sunset and shadow play on the Satsuma Peninsula on the opposite bank, but on this day, I dared to go under the blue summer sky! It was an exquisite contrast between the deep blue sky, the glittering water surface, and the black of the shadow play! It's like you can hear the music of a concert... Shadow play seems to change depending on the season, so I would like to visit again in autumn. There is also a campsite right next to it, which is also recommended for campers!

Nagasaki Iki City Katsumoto Fishing Port Fireworks Festival I talked with a local professional photographer and asked him where to launch the photo. I don't usually talk to strangers, but I did because of photos of my travels. Many of the people on the island are kind, and it is a summer tradition that I was able to take with such warm feelings.

During a trip on Iki Island, a remote island in Nagasaki. At Sakyohana. Nice entrance clouds and wonderful family in a film style. During the trip, it was not easy to get sunny, but I was floating in the sun. The group in the photo is also enjoying sightseeing. A trivial memory on a remote island one such summer day.

Photo taken on August 6, 2022. From the summit of Mt. Takachiho. The summer grass fluttered in the wind and was refreshing! It's the time of year when the flowers don't bloom anymore, but seeing the tall and energetic grass cheers me up.

Was back in Kanda today for the first time in a while, but I decided to go back to the same izakaya I visited a few months ago. The food is really great and again it wasn't very crowded since I went a bit early. If you're in the Kanda area I recommend checking it out. Kakuuchi Inagaki 角打 いながき. They offer extra helpings of rice for free and also free refills of miso soup!

Photographed on Noko Island five years ago. In the summer sun, I was attracted to the quaint shops.

I went to Yakushima in May of this year. I was worried about my first trek, but I was relieved of fatigue when I saw the beautiful scenery!

Solo camping night feast. Decorate with various lanterns. So, make sake with Aso water.

If the conditions are right, it is a valuable place where light awns appear in the middle of winter. Kumamoto / Kikuchi

This is a photo of Takachiho Gorge in Miyazaki Prefecture. Takachiho is also famous for appearing in Nihon Shoki, and there are many beautiful valleys and forests rich in nature. Among them, Takachiho Gorge is popular as a tourist spot, and it is recommended because you can experience the dynamic nature, such as rowing to the bottom of the waterfall by rowing boat.

Photographed from Sakuragaoka in Kagoshima City. It is a hill and a place where you can see a wide view of the city, and I took a picture of the sunset illuminating the beautiful scale clouds that make you feel the arrival of autumn.

Found a nice izakaya in Kanda today. The name is Kakuuchi Inagaki 角打 いながき. I think that's the reading for the kanji at least... The place had a really nice atmosphere and some really good food at very reasonable prices. I ordered the Saba no Shioyaki さばの塩焼き, salt grilled mackerel and it was really tasty and only cost 750 yen as well. Definitely a nice place to drop by for some after work drinks with a friend or coworker or just for lunch like I did. It seems like they serve nikomi and oden later at night as well, so if you like that I definitely recommend it.

This is a photo of the ruins of Fukuoka Castle and cherry blossoms in Fukuoka City. The cherry blossoms reflected in the castle moat, the castle walls, and the illumination make you feel the spring of Japan.

Spring is all about cherry blossoms. Among them, the cherry blossoms blooming in Ohori Park in Fukuoka, the illumination at night, and as the name suggests, the cherry blossoms reflected on the surface of the moat are exceptional, and they show a very beautiful and fantastic appearance of cherry blossoms.

Ukiha is located in the city, This is a photo I took when I went to [Inari Shrine]. At your favorite spot, The torii gate and the night view are very beautiful and calm.

When I went to my husband's hometown There is a river where I used to play, so let's go! Next door This is a photo when I went to play [Yabe River] in Yame City. There are also ankle-high places, It was a place where small children could play. It is the perfect place to cool off in the coming season.

The rocky mountains of Mifuneyama, Takeo City, Saga Prefecture and the cherry blossoms go well together.

Amami Oshima in February. Swim with humpback whales that have traveled south to breed and raise their young. The moment you become a part of nature is an emotion itself. I feel like I have received great power, energy, and good luck from a humpback whale with a big body and gentle eyes.

Location Nagasaki Event "Spirit Boat Procession" Put the deceased's favorite things and photos on the spirit ship An event that is poured into rivers and seas. At that time, firecrackers are set off grandly on the way.

Mr. Mejiro today. It was through the screen door, but I was able to take a good picture.

Festival held in Nagasaki City from October 7 to 9 [Nagasaki Kunchi] It is designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan. The float in the photo is [Kokkodesho] It is a popular votive dance among Nagasaki kunchi. The rough skill of throwing a float high into the sky and grabbing it with the thrown arm outstretched, masculinity, and bravery of shouting There is no doubt that it will be full of charm that will hook the viewer. I think that other votive dances are also unique and very enjoyable festival events. There are many stalls, and there is no doubt that both children and adults can enjoy a fun time! !! I wanted to capture the power and dynamism of the moment when I threw it high into the sky, so I shot with the shutter speed down. I think I was able to capture the movement of the hand and the expression of the bearer well in my own way.

Tonight is Purple Snow Commercial complex in Fukuoka City Canal City's lights and fountain illuminations On this day, add color to the production with a faint snow decoration I accompany it.
