I was ? impressed when I saw this scene for the first time in the edgeworthia chrysantha colony in Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture. The golden edgeworthia chrysantha shining like fireflies in the dim forest was fantastic and like forest fairies. It is also used as a raw material for banknotes, which is very precious and was truly ? a golden forest.

It is not famous for cherry blossoms that stand like two couples in Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture, but when I was looking for a cherry blossom spot in Shiso City, I happened to come across this cherry blossom and after that, it became a place of relaxation under this cherry tree, and my family ate lunch during the day, and it became our family's cherry ? blossom viewing spot, and I lit it up at night at my favorite place and took ? a picture. Couple's cherry blossoms ? that they want to leave for the future and want to see for years later

Pier in Kyotango Kumihama My favorite place ? on the pier I've ever seenI was able to see the planetarium from the pier on a sunny day, and unfortunately it was cloudy on this day, but I was ? impressed to see the light awn through the gap in the clouds early in the morning.

This is a photo of when I went to Daikakuji Temple in Arashiyama Kyoto. It looks like it's going to rain anytime soon.

Majin Tateiwa in Kyotango, which I really wanted to photograph before heading to Ine! When I arrived in the middle of the night, I was impressed to see the first Heavenly Way arch in my life. And what I wanted to try in this place located due north was the trajectory of the ? stars. It was around 2 a.m. in the middle of the night, so when night fell, I was quite impatient and it was pitch dark and difficult to explore the composition, so I had no choice but to soak in the river and get soaked, set a tripod in the center of the river, and it was still early April at that time, so I remember shooting while freezing, and although I had a hard time, it was like being in a planetarium, and there was a moment when I thought it was good when the photo was completed. There is a deep connection with Prince Shotoku's mother, Empress Mahito, and there is also a bronze statue to watch over this Tateiwa.

I came to Minami-Awaji on Awaji Island. It is a restaurant that has won first place in the national Parker Grand Prix. From the same place, the Naruto Bridge looked beautiful.

She was enjoying the beauty of Nachifalls and the pagoda at the same time. She was really very very excited to see the waterfall. Also it was a spring time and as a result lots of flowers bloomed in the surrounding area.
