I think about 70% of foreign tourists Jigokudani Monkey Park is such a popular spot. It is a good photo spot no matter how many times you go, so it is a highly recommended place. Especially when a baby monkey comes close, I just want to take a picture.

[English/Japanese] The other day I had lunch at Hokkaido Soup Curry Workshop Seven West, a 3-minute walk from Nishi-Hachioji Station. I chose the sweet curry, but it was quite spicy and I could taste a variety of spices. The chicken on the bone, which was cooked so well that it fell apart when touched with chopsticks, was the best part. Most of the students enrolled in our school are from Southeast Asia. Almost all of them have "curry" in their countries. When I show the students how to make Japanese home-style curry, they are surprised at how different it is from their own country. And they are even more surprised when they learn that there is another type of curry in the same country, Hokkaido Curry!

Nabegamori Shrine I visit Shiso City quite often, but this is a place that I have been interested in for a long time, and I was finally able to visit it, and it was difficult to take a self-shoot because it was quite deep in the snow, but it was ? good to see it somehow.

【Character Introduction】 "Crocus Win" A beautiful boy who is a mystery in both origin and age. From his delicate body, it didn't look like he was going to fight fiercely. You will only participate in battles to help agents and vermouths when they are in dire straits. However, his combat sense far surpasses that of other agents. The fact that he accurately shoots only the head of the enemy makes it seem that he is enjoying the battle. Illustration: Wakamatsu Kaori

This is a photo taken when I went to Ukai in Inuyama. Ukai was also wonderful, but Inuyama Castle from the top of the ship, which is usually difficult to see, was also beautiful, so I released the shutter.

Kanagawa's Jogashima island is a great weekend destination. The view from the island is beautiful but during the sunset hour the views are outstanding and scenic. It is hard to select one out of them. Till I select this one where the light house is the prime object. I remember when the sun almost set down and I was crossing this place the dramatic sky behind the light house made the view so thrilling.

"Snowy Karashima with large trees as natural torii gates" A natural forest island in Nanao in Noto (although it has been reclaimed and is now connected to land). There is a shrine on the island that enshrines the life of Princess Kishima, one of the three sisters of Munakata. It was snowing and the atmosphere was solemn.

"The ladder of angels that appeared off the coast of the Japan Sea at dusk" The setting sun was hidden by dark clouds, but a light awn appeared from the crack in the clouds. Shot at Senrihama Beach.

Spectacular and magnificent Buddha statues ✨ The Sapporo Makomanouchi - Head Big Buddha was designed by architect Tadao Ando, and those who like architecture should not miss it. When snow begins to accumulate in Hokkaido, the scenery here is also worth seeing ❄️, the body and head of the Buddha are covered with snow, as if a white cape and hat ? have been added At the entrance of the park, there are 33 Moai statues (モアイ像) of Easter Island to welcome visitors~ In the evening, stay at Sapporo Kinyutei and enjoy a different night!

The Tottori Sand Dunes in Tottori Prefecture are one of the largest sand dunes in the Japan, and when snow falls in winter and accumulates on the dunes, the dunes show a different look. The snowy dunes illuminated by the setting sun are very beautiful.

Series "Kobe, rediscovered" Today, the ninth stage, we will deliver the Port Tower, a symbol of Kobe, which is also called the beauty of the steel tower. Its height is 108 meters, and the hyperboloid tower with a smooth constriction in the center is illuminated to unleash its crimson beauty into the sea, sky, city and mountains. Currently, renovation work is underway, and an open observation facility will be installed on the roof of the highest place. When it is completed, you can expect a night view while blowing in the fragrant sea breeze and a view of the blue sea shining in the sunlight, and I am very much looking forward to it! !! It seems that the reopening will be in the spring of 2024, and it is completely covered now, but after sunset, projection mapping will be projected and you can enjoy the production.

I went to a Rikugien Gardens on the edge of Bunkyo Ward. I was able to do pleasant sightseeing under the blue sky.

I went to the killing stone in the Nasu Highlands. In February, the Nasu Highlands were covered with snow and we couldn't go to the observatory. However, it was nice to have a foot bath.

I went to Haneda Airport. It was a break for exams, and there were not many people, so I was able to take pictures casually.

Biei is located almost in the center of Hokkaido and has gentle hills. It is full of tourists from spring to autumn, but the snowy winter is also attractive. The blue pond, which became famous when it was previously used as a wallpaper for MacBook, is lit up at night in winter. There was a Biei light-up tour, so I was able to go easily. The blue pond covered with pure white snow was very beautiful in the fantastic illumination.

It is a local sunset view. It is a piece after rain.

Statue of Nio at Sensoji Temple in Asakusa

Shibuya at night in cyberpunk. As Shibuya development progresses in the future, it will become more and more futuristic. I shot while imagining such things. Also, because Shibuya has many IT companies, I thought that the cyberpunk atmosphere would be a good match. The scramble crossing is always lively. I guess it will become more and more Shibuya and futuristic from now on. I'm really looking forward to that.

Kawaguchi Sengen Shrine is one of the constituent assets of the World Cultural Heritage "Mt. Fuji - Object of Worship and Source of Art". There is a torii gate in the sky here. It took about 30 minutes on foot from Kawaguchi Sengen Shrine, and I arrived at it while getting into a cutthroat, but the view from here was just superb.

Oshino Hakkai has eight ponds that spring from the rain and snowmelt of Mt. Fuji. It used to be a sacred place, but many people still visit it as a power spot. On snowy winter days, the nostalgic mountain village scenery becomes even more attractive. I was finally able to see the snowy scenery of Oshino Hakkai

Niikurayama Sengen Shrine where you can see the Japan-like Mt. Fuji and the five-storied pagoda together. It is famous for the cherry blossom season in spring, but the snowy scenery with snow in winter is also the best. I thought it wasn't that crowded at this time of year, but when I arrived at 6 a.m., it was full of photographers.

Bells of Lore This monument is located in Onagawa Town, Oshika District, Miyagi Prefecture. This is the place that was damaged by the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011. It's been 12 years this year, and the zodiac signs are just turning around At that juncture, I came here for the first time in 20 years to visit my friend's grave. That tragic natural disaster stole the smiles of many people Even so, the townspeople did not lose and desperately rebuilt the town. Such a monument that will pass on the tragic reality and the courage of the townspeople to future generations I hope you will visit us once. "Visiting the town" I feel like this is the number one support.

This time I want to recommend Kawagoe. This small town of kawagoe is known as condo (little edo) because till now this place offers the old days feeling. Its kind of time traveling. A great experience indeed. Yesterday I went once again because I was hoping to see another interesting part of this place and I was right. It looks like a place coming out of fairytale.

Hyakutoo. Two-linked! I feel like I haven't seen a two-car train of Kiha 110 in a long time... (^_^;) I also love the three mountains of Echigo, but this point that can be taken in the back of Gongendo is my favorite.

A photo taken from a trip to Nasushiobara last fall! I've been there 3 or 4 times, and the scenery of this place is amazing! The bridge you can see in the photo is the ♪ Crimson Suspension Bridge
