I took a picture of the famous Sarutsubo Falls in Hyogo Prefecture lit up at night, but I was taking pictures while being wary because the new hot spring town bear would appear.

It was lit up without permission by Kurotaki called Miniature Niagara in Yoshikawa, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture.

There is also a park children's playground in Ishigaya Park in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, which families visit every year with their own lunch boxes, and it is the best lunch box to eat while being enveloped in the scent of plums.

I was impressed by the sight that I was finally able to see on my third climb. The sea of clouds and light awn shah of Takarayama in Fukuchiyama City, Kyoto Prefecture, which is now becoming famous You can climb to this place by car, and there are several places to stop, but there is no sense of accomplishment even if you enjoy watching it, and recently there are more photographers and I stop my car in a place that is not a parking lot, so I dare to park my car in the parking lot below and climb the mountain with my own feet. When you see this scene after you are sweaty, you will be fascinated by the viewer with a sense of accomplishment and emotion.

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.

It was taken at Naritasan Shinshoji Temple.

Spring is definitely coming.

This photo was taken at Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. 📸 When I visited for the first time, I was attracted by the beauty of the five-storied pagoda on the site and took this photo. We were able to get a glimpse of 1500 years of history.

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

There is a climbing kiln that bakes pottery in Awaji City, Awaji Island. Only once a year in February, firewood is put in for 4 days without sleeping, the temperature is raised, and a large flame burns from the kiln in the back. Many works by potter Koichi Maeda are born in this kiln. There is such a scene in the morning drama Scarlett, and a time full of passion is wonderful, and slowly cools down over time, and a new work is born. The attitude of sparing no effort and working hard towards the goal was cool, and I learned a lot from it because I keenly realized that I have to face various things and work hard. I am very grateful that I made an appointment last year and had a valuable experience.

The title is "Dancing Yosakoi Flag" I hope that one day there will be a special four days where you can feel the enthusiasm of the dancers and the audience again.

[English／日本語] February 22 is "Cat Day" in Japan. In Japan, February 22 is "Cat Day", and there is a lot of excitement as people upload pictures of cats on social media. Do you like cats? Or do you prefer dogs? In this article, I would like to talk about the pet situation in Japan. 1 Cat boom In Japan, many people have always owned dogs, but in 2017, the number of cat owners surpassed the number of dog owners. The reason for this is that Japan is an aging society. Dogs have to be accompanied on walks, and elderly people who are worried about their physical strength tend to choose cats that don't need to be walked. Also, more and more people are keeping pets because they are spending more time at home due to the influence of Corona. I wonder if it's the same in your country? 2Can international students have pets? Very few international students have pets. To own a dog, you have to pay several hundred thousand yen at a pet store and also have to get shots. In addition, most apartments in Japan do not allow pets. However, sometimes people keep hamsters, which are relatively cheap and do not have as long a life span as dogs and cats. I heard a story about a Japanese language school that had a problem with a student who suddenly decided to return to his home country and asked them to take in his turtle. Pets are life. It is important to keep them responsibly. 3 If you miss your pet... Some people who used to have pets in their home countries may become stressed out because they cannot interact with their pets during their long stay in Japan. Recently in Japan, there has been an increase in the number of cafes with cats and dogs, where you can casually interact with cats and dogs for just a fee and a drink. In addition to cats and dogs, some of these animal cafes also have birds and reptiles. Please try to use them. Our school does not allow pets in the dormitories. However, there are cat cafes and dog cafes around the school. There is also a zoo just a few stops away from the school. If you are an animal lover, I think you will enjoy your study abroad experience at our school. February 22 is "Cat Day" in Japan. Shops selling miscellaneous goods put cat illustrations on products, and people get excited posting them on social media. Do you like cats, or do you prefer dogs? This time, I will talk about the pet situation in Japan. 1 The cat boom In Japan, many people have traditionally kept dogs, but in 2017 the number of cats kept exceeded the number of dogs. One reason is Japan's aging population. Because dogs need to be taken for walks, elderly people who worry about their strength tend to choose cats that do not require walks. Also, because people have been spending more time at home due to the impact of COVID-19, more people are getting pets. Is it the same in your country? 2 Can international students keep pets? Very few international students keep pets. To buy a dog at a pet shop costs several hundred thousand yen, and vaccinations are also required. In addition, most apartments in Japan prohibit keeping pets. However, some people sometimes keep hamsters, which are relatively inexpensive and do not live as long as dogs or cats.

It is said that the Hinamatsuri began about 1,000 years ago among the aristocrats of that time during the Heian period. At that time, on the day of the snake at the beginning of March, the "Kamimi no Setsuku" is held to pray for a disease-free life, and on this day, an onmyoji fortune teller They called and prayed, and they put simple dolls made of paper and plants with alcohol and offerings and threw them into rivers and the sea on their behalf. At that time, the dolls were called "Hiina", and it is believed that this "Kamimi no Setsuku" and "Hiina Play" came together to form the Hinamatsuri as it is today. In this way, I would like to decorate the peach festival that has been handed down for a long time with the children and pass on to future generations a meaningful event that wishes for the healthy growth of children.

The shrine and its nearby area at China town, Yokohama were well decorated with lights and lanterns before the Chinese new year. It looks very beautiful and charming.
