Autumn has arrived at Azumino Winery. Vineyards spread at the foot of the Northern Alps. This is the season when the bountiful grapes are beautifully ripening!♪ The blessings of this rich land will turn into delicious wine🍷.😄 In the on-site shop, you can enjoy shopping and wine tasting (both paid and free).

Alps Azumino National Government Park, Horigane and Hotaka area is currently at its best for the yellow cosmos. There are 800,000 cosmos flowers blooming in the terraced rice fields. It seems like a great time to enjoy during the holidays, but I'm worried about the impact of the typhoon…😟

The Yabusame ceremony of Kamogawa City will be broadcasted on 'Japanese Festivals' 👍 Continuing to Live Together with the Home that Connects Yabusame – The Annual Festival of Kippo Hachiman Shrine Yabusame Ceremony – Saturday, November 7th at 7 PM on Chiba TV This ceremony is held at Kippo Hachiman Shrine, which is said to have a history of about 800 years dating back to the Kamakura period. It has been passed down as a prayer to protect and nurture the bountiful rice farming of Nagasa. ✨Don't miss it!

This morning, it was pleasantly sunny in Azumino. The ridge of the Northern Alps was beautifully visible. When I hurried to the summit of Mount Nagamine, clouds had already rolled in…😅 The best viewpoint in Azumino.

In the Shimizu District of Azumino, one of the few remaining terraced rice fields can be found. The rice harvesting season has arrived. It seems that the prolonged rain this month has delayed the harvest.

I took this photo at Kinchakuda Manjushage Park in Hidaka City, Saitama Prefecture. I visited to see the fields of Manjushage in full bloom. The shoot took place in the rain, creating a serene and rich autumn landscape with the red flowers, the wet ground, and the dark background of the trees, quite different from a sunny day. Not only did I capture the fully bloomed Manjushage, but I also intentionally included the fallen trees at my feet and the rain-soaked ground, encapsulating the quiet atmosphere I felt while standing there. I hope you can appreciate not just the splendor of the Manjushage, which represents autumn in Japan, but also its other, more subtle aspects.

I took this photo at Mizumoto Park in Tokyo, and for me, it captures much more than just the beauty of autumn. As I walked among the towering metasequoia trees, I was completely drawn to the way the warm sunlight was passing through the forest. The trees were glowing in deep shades of red, orange, and gold, while the morning sun created beautiful, elongated shadows across the ground. I remember feeling a sense of calm as I stood there, surrounded by such incredible colors and silence. But what really caught my attention was that quiet seat beneath the trees. It looked so peaceful, almost as if it was inviting me to stop for a while and forget everything else. I imagined sitting there, feeling the cool autumn breeze, watching the sunlight slowly move between the trees, and simply enjoying the moment. I wanted to capture that feeling—not just the scenery. Sometimes a scene makes you stop before you even think about composition. You just feel something. That is what happened here. I waited for the sunlight to fall perfectly between the trees, revealing the seat and illuminating the autumn leaves around it. When I finally pressed the shutter, I felt that I had captured a small piece of the peacefulness I was experiencing at that moment. Looking at this photo now, I can still remember the feeling of standing there—the warmth of the sunlight, the quietness of the forest, and the overwhelming beauty of autumn at Mizumoto Park. This photograph is not only a picture of a beautiful place; it is a memory of a beautiful moment I was lucky enough to experience.

There are moments when a photographer simply forgets to press the shutter because the view in front of them feels too beautiful to capture. That was exactly how I felt during my visit to Mizumoto Park in Tokyo in autumn. I arrived early in the morning, just as the first rays of sunlight were beginning to touch the horizon. The entire park seemed to be waking up slowly, wrapped in a peaceful silence. Standing in front of the magnificent metasequoia forest, I was completely mesmerized. The tall trees, dressed in their warm autumn colors, stretched endlessly into the distance. Soft golden sunlight filtered gently through the branches, creating delicate patterns of light and shadow along the path. The misty morning atmosphere added an almost dreamlike quality to the scene, making the forest feel less like a place in Tokyo and more like a magical landscape from another world. As a photographer, these are the moments I live for—the moments when nature, light, color, and silence come together perfectly. Every direction I looked felt like a photograph waiting to be captured. The golden leaves glowing under the morning sun, the towering metasequoias disappearing into the distance, and the soft, tranquil atmosphere created a truly mystical view. I stood there for a while, simply taking it all in. No rush, no noise—just me, my camera, and the breathtaking beauty of an autumn morning. My trip to Mizumoto Park became much more than just another visit to a beautiful place. It became a beautiful memory, captured not only through my camera lens but also in my heart.

The endpoint of Izu, the starting point of emotions. Minami-Izu Town, located at the southernmost tip of Izu, enjoys a favorable climate even on Honshu. It is a place where new emotions begin, as well as a destination to reach. With its beautiful white sands, Yuigahama, the dynamic cliffs of Irouzaki, and the crystal-clear waters of Hirizo Beach, this town offers a stunning landscape. In spring, early-blooming cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers color the town, while summer brings lively beach activities and tide pooling. From autumn to winter, gentle sunlight and hot springs warmly welcome travelers. Throughout the seasons, a relaxed pace of life flows that cannot be experienced in the city. Moreover, this land, which has lived alongside the sea for centuries, is filled with warm connections between people and a simple yet vibrant culture. When you arrive at the end of your journey in Izu, something will begin to stir within you―― Minami-Izu Town is that "starting point of emotions."

【🪭The Arayama Dance Took Place✨】 On September 27th, the "Arayama Dance," which is registered as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO, was held✨ Unfortunately, it rained heavily, so this year the performance took place indoors at the Arayama Hall, but there were many guests at the venue!👏 Being indoors allowed for a closer distance between the performers and the audience, creating a warm and lively atmosphere filled with cheers and laughter throughout the day☺️✨ In the morning, the children from Sakamoto Elementary School also participated in the drumming and performances🥁 Additionally, students from Gokase Secondary School energized the venue in their traditional outfits! Moreover, the students spontaneously joined in the Arayama Dance🤩 It was heartwarming to see the dancers teaching while dancing, and by the end, everyone was able to dance! The sight of generations dancing together was truly delightful☺️💕 The Arayama Dance involves many roles, with various songs, dances, and complex rhythms. While we felt the tradition passed down through long practices, there were also moments of interacting with the audience, switching roles, and hearing shouts like "Lift your feet higher!" and "Keep going from here!"…😂 And when the "monkey" approached the children, picking them up and patting their heads with a fan, cries could be heard from all around🤣🐒 (It seemed a bit scary for the kids. Haha) While the vibrant costumes look beautiful under the blue sky, the closeness and warm interactions between the performers and the audience created a unique scene that was perhaps only possible on a rainy day😌🌿 Despite the rain, this year's Arayama Dance was filled with many smiles and excitement. We were able to witness how the community cherishes and passes this tradition on to the next generation✨ Thank you to all the performers and everyone who came out in the rain! You truly did a great job!👏✨
