I shot aerial footage of Gujo Hachiman Castle in autumn.

It was my first visit to Gujo Hachiman Castle. The autumn colors had passed their peak and many leaves had faded, but an unexpected mist gave the scene a great atmosphere.

Date: 2025/11
Location: Gifu Gujo

* Flight application for Gujo Hachiman completed
* Comprehensive unmanned aircraft flight permission obtained from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism
* Flight plan notified and flight log prepared

Today I took a certification exam in the Ōmiya area.
I think I did my best. 💮
I had a gingerbread latte and a nuts and caramel cheesecake.

Ryosokuji Temple, known as the Maple Temple, is a famous spot for autumn leaves.
About 150 maple trees line the approach from the main gate and throughout the temple grounds, their vivid crimson coloring the temple.

Lake Momiji in Nagano prefecture is one of the best autumn spots in Japan. It looks specifically beautiful during sunset.

Hello from the Shosenkyo Tourist Association 😊 The autumn colors at Shosenkyo are gradually giving way to signs of winter.
Rain and wind have started to strip leaves from the trees, but you can still enjoy autumn foliage around Kakuen Peak to Senga Falls for a little while longer 🍁✨

Golden leaves glowing in the sunlight, a carpet of soft fallen leaves underfoot, and the sound of the waterfall echoing through the quiet gorge…
As in the photo, what you see now is the unique beauty of late autumn.

A walk while listening to the rustle of falling leaves is a special experience available only in this season.
Please come and enjoy the remaining autumn colors 🍂🌈

The plane bathed in the orange of the setting sun seemed to quietly celebrate the end of today.
A brief moment of color unwound my heart.

I photographed the sunset from the Tone River embankment on the Sakaimachi side, looking toward Kanseki-jō Castle 🏯.
Behind the castle stood Mt. Fuji 🗻, and above it hung Yuzuki 🌕.
I savored late autumn with the crimson sunset and moon-viewing.

This is Akasawa Natural Recreation Forest in Agematsu Town, Nagano Prefecture.
The trolley train running through the autumn leaves created a nostalgic scene that was simply lovely.

I visited Kawagoe Hachimangu Shrine.
There was a heart-shaped ginkgo tree along the approach.
May something good happen. 😊

I went to photograph the garden of Rurikoin in Kyoto this November.

Autumn is one of the most beautiful season in Japan. This year we visited lake momiji in Nagano prefecture to enjoy the beauty of autumn and We were really stunned to see this beautiful lake.

Hello, this is the Shosenkyo Tourist Association 😊 The mountains are starting to prepare for winter, but you can still enjoy beautiful autumn foliage 🍁
This seasonal gradation is a rare, indulgent sight available only now ✨

At Senga Falls today, many visitors were taking photos as well 📸
In the clear air, you can hear the waterfall powerfully plunging down.
When sunlight breaks through, a faint rainbow may appear if you're lucky… 🌈
Catching that moment feels like receiving a gift from nature 🎁

From now on, Shosenkyo will gradually take on its winter attire
Leaves will fall, and the dynamic sculpted cliffs and the waterfall’s force will stand out even more.

Come experience the one-of-a-kind expressions nature creates, visible only at this time ✨
We sincerely look forward to your visit 🥾🌿

Hiroshima Prefecture Shobara City | New Bakery News 🥖✨
Wakey Wakey Bakery, which just opened on Friday, October 17, 2025, is now featured on the Shobara Tourism Navi website!

See spot details here 🔽
https://www.shobara-info.com/spot/5379

The shop name comes from the English word “Wakey,” meaning wake-up and used like a cheerful call to small children. It reflects the owner Rina Nagai’s personal touch—she studied abroad at a university in the State of California. Her wish is simple: to make bread that people want to eat as soon as they wake up, comforting and part of everyday life.
The breads on offer use Rina’s original recipes, refined with techniques she learned while working at a bakery in the United States to bring out each item’s flavor. The most popular items are two character breads inspired by a Shiba Inu: Shiba-san (custard) and Nikukyuu Punch (chocolate). Inspired by childhood visits to bakeries with her parents, where character breads captured her imagination, she wanted to create breads that excite children.

Basic Information
Phone TEL 080-6068-0187
Address 1-1294-8 Nakahommachi, Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture
Parking Available 1 space near the shop (No.7)
Closed Monday; Wednesday to Thursday; Saturday to Sunday
Hours Tuesday and Friday 10:00 until sold out

At Showa Kinen Park on the middle day of a three-day holiday to see the autumn light-up.
More than the ginkgo-lined avenue lit by countless lights, my eyes kept drifting to the crowds writhing beneath the leaves... What did I even come to see? I captured that confusion using a prism filter combined with a Kenko Black Mist No.5 lens.
