What an incredible photo, the coloring of the floats goes perfectly with the sunset and the clouds. What an awesome looking festival. I've never heard about Murakami Taisai, but it looks like it's about 400 years old now and some of the floats created 200 years ago are still used even today. I've never actually visited Niigata but it looks like a fun place. Just inconveniently placed I guess lol. Seeing cool photos like this though really makes me want to visit. This festival is in early July as well, so not too far off. Might be cool to visit and get some of the festival food I've been missing out on. Can always make yakisoba at home but it just never really hits the same as some made at a yatai!

Wow this is really incredible! What an amazing entrance to a temple. It's an unusual design for a torii (at least from the ones I've seen) but it really fits the image. I love the lanterns on both sides as well. They really compliment the white and pink of the cherry blossoms with their glow. It's kind of crazy how much awesome stuff I keep seeing in Nagano prefecture. I've seen tons of cool places in Akita, Saitama, Hokkaido, etc. but I still haven't gotten a chance to check out Nagano and every time I see something amazing like this I just feel like I'm missing out. It looks like this is called Iinuma Shrine although it's hard to find information about it. Looks like a cool place to visit though, I'll have to do some more digging on this!

It is the cherry blossoms of Iinuma Shrine in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture.
Splendid! It's a masterpiece!

I love the timing on this photo getting the wave crashing against the rocks just perfectly. I've never been to Fukui but I know that Oshima has that big red bridge and I want to go check that out. I'm assuming this is where it leads to, and if so, then I really want to give it a visit. I guess the island has a shrine as well that's an Important Cultural Property so that sounds like it'd be interesting to see as well. I didn't realize this was next to Tojinbo though, I want to see those massive jagged cliffs for myself. I've seen them in photos and it always looks really awesome but seeing it in person is always totally different. I imagine it'd be even more amazing!
