It is Hanachozu of Kawagoe Hachimangu Shrine.

This is a sunset view photo of the Hikawa Maru looking up from the sea bass boat dock in Yokohama Yamashita Park. On the day of the event, it was a little windy and the tripod was slightly shaky, but I took a long exposure shot. I think I was able to express the movement of the clouds beautifully.

After Prayer to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, we visited LEC COFFEE. It's a black latte.
Latte art is a work of art.

Yesterday, I couldn't attend the monthly festival on 5/15 due to work, so I Prayer the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine.
It is a moeki-colored sea bream lottery. The photo was taken on May 4.

Ouchi inn in Minamiaizu, Fukushima
A wonderful place that has been passed down from the Edo period.
1981 (Showa 56), it has been selected as a national Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, and the three principles for landscape preservation and as well as the profound history of efforts to acquire and pass on roofing techniques, and the desire to protect the landscape and history of the local people are also Fascination Same as above landscape.

I wanted to see the scenery of Ouchi inn in the middle of winter
I slipped many times in the snow along the way, and it was cold because it was the middle of winter, but the scenery I saw with my own eyes was so impression that I forgot how hard it was.
There was a steep staircase to take one of these photos, but of course it was frozen in the snow, and I remember the hardship of climbing with the help of a rope.
Still, it's a wonderful place that I would like to visit again.

This is a photo taken from National Route 134 along Shichirigahama toward the sea.
It was a sunny day and there were no clouds in the sky, but the blue sky without clouds, the blue sea that seemed to be soaked in the color of the sky, and the three-part line of the road looked very beautiful, so I cut it out in a three-part composition. Enoshima is located on the right, and the scenery around here is really beautiful and I love it.

Just before the sun sets, the Observation decks of Enoshima Tower overlooks Katase Enoshima Station and the Shonan Coast. On this day, it was clear and the gradation of the light orange sunset was very beautiful, and I wanted to look at it forever.

This is a sunset view of Enoshima Island seen from Shichirigahama in Kanagawa Prefecture taken last summer. Scenes of people waiting for the sunset relaxing on the Coast are very soothing.

This photo was taken at Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture

I used a smartphone to photograph Kenrokuen Garden, one of the three famous gardens in Japan, which is also designated as a special scenic spot in Japan.
By putting the well-known symbol of Kenrokuen called Kotoji paper lantern in the angle of view, I created a work that allows you to understand the location without paying attention.

Matsumoto Castle, Nagano
It is a historic castle that is said to have been built in Bunroku 2 ~ 3 (1593 ~ 4).

Even now I remember that it was raining that day, but as soon as I arrived at Matsumoto Castle, the weather became clear, and I was happy to be able to take a very impression photo.

Deryuhara Benten Pond in Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture
Designated as a natural monument designated by Tochigi Prefecture in Showa 31.
In addition, it is a wonderful pond that was selected as one of the 100 Famous Waters in Showa 60.

When I saw it for the first time, I was soothed by the high transparency and beauty.
The carp were also swimming vigorously, and I could see that the water quality was good.
It is a very good place when you want to calm your mind.

After the cherry blossom viewing, we visited Maestro of Resona Coedo Terrace.
It is a café latte, matcha, and a new product An Butter Financier. An Butter Financier uses Essire Butter.

This is Hanachozu from Hara Flower Shop.

This is my first Yamaga Lantern Festival.
I didn't do any homework, and I went with a crazy piece of equipment with a tripod pear 85mm single focal length.

I vowed to bring a telephoto lens with me this year.

In 2024, I went to see the Yamaga Lantern Dance for the first time.
The dancers dancing in matching costumes with lanterns made of Washi paper on their heads were very nice.

This is the view of Odaiba and the bridge girder of Rainbow Yellowtail seen from Shibaura South Pier before sunset.
The tower apartment dyed in sunset color and the rainbow yellowtail shone in gold and were very beautiful.

This is a photo of a nearby shrine. Scenes of culture being passed down from generation to generation.

I was doing construction work very close to Aoyama 1-chome Station.
I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to see this cherry blossom from this place before this work started, and I thought that I wouldn't be able to see this cherry blossom once the building was built, so I took a picture.
In the midst of the changing Traditional Japanese straw raincoat, there are some things that do not change.
The cherry blossoms will bloom again next year, but I won't be able to see this view next year.
I put such a feeling of impermanence into it.

Location: Kamimikawa Town, Tochigi Prefecture Taken in early May

On a walk with my cat Chai
On the side of the road, there is a large number of "white clover" flower fields that I have not seen in the previous year...!
Shooting with the sunset & with the cat 📸
A small view that shines in the Nature of Japan!

Actually, this "white clover"
Famous for its non-native species and abnormal reproduction.
The reason why it is blooming so much this year is that a farmer in the neighborhood is conducting an experiment to see if it will increase if you give it plenty of sun.
At a later date, I was ✋ driven by mowing the grass

Beautiful plants and flowers that are often seen in daily life.
The scenery I saw in this way was engraved with the history of "white clover" that has been breeding until now!

Photographed on April 15, 25.
It is the Shingashi River behind the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine.
The cherry blossoms had fallen and turned into leaf cherry blossoms. The petals of the cherry blossoms floated on the surface of the water and were very beautiful.

I didn't expect the way home after drinking to be so bright.

This is the scenery of Kumamoto, where my grandmother's house is located.
I took this photo when I visited in the summer, and I felt that the scenery has remained unchanged since I was a child.
I love the contrast between the continuous road and the lush greenery.

This is a night view of Rainbow Yellowtail taken from Toyosu Gururi Park.
I took a picture with the image of the lights of the bridge reflecting beautifully on the sea
