Izu Peninsula Sunset over Koganezaki Coast Izu Peninsula Long Drive. Koganezaki Coast, one of Japan's best sunset spots, stopped by on a drive to Nishiizu The time was just right and I was able to take a picture of the superb view!

★ Thank you ★, man, a lot of memories When I took ★ a walk date on Lake Kitagata, I was able to see cherry blossoms in spring, and when it was not cold, I could ride a pedal boat and an interesting bicycle, and the starry sky was beautiful ★ at night.

I rode along the Otofuke Melody Line! That doesn’t mean music plays along the road. (I thought so at first too 😊) The name belongs to a town road connecting TokachigawaOnsen and central Otofuke, and it was named after the “Oto” in Otofuke Town. You’ll find rural scenery typical of Otofuke, a straight road leading toward the mountain range, and sunflower fields in autumn—many lovely views. At about 15 km long, it’s a wonderful road for driving or cycling! Because there are ups and downs, an electric-assist bicycle is recommended for cycling. The tourism association provides assist bicycles! Be sure to try riding the Otofuke Melody Line♬ ⛔Please do not enter the fields.

Fireflies are active in Okinawa between May and June. Their larvae are terrestrial, and their appearance is cool, like a spaceship.

There is a snake called Habu on Okinawa Island. It has protein poison, has been terrifying people since ancient times, and is there as a guardian god of the forest. The unit symbol of the U.S. Forces Okinawa's Jungle Combat Training Center JWTC is the world's only hub motif. In recent years, there have been fears that alien species will lose their habitat. In fact, Habub is very shy when it comes to shooting. I had a hard time doing this shoot. In other words, it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to make such a cool pose. After fending off his natural enemies, the owl and wild boar, and watching him disappear safely into the depths of the mountain, the area was enveloped in silence.

When I was walking home from the mountain, I happened to look up at the sky and saw that it was dyed such a good color that I stopped the car and clicked the shutter without thinking. In the mountains, I didn't see very good scenery, and while I was on the way home with the feeling that there would be days like this, I thought that there were such encounters. As a result, I think it was good just to see this scenery.
