Runway ✈ to the sky This photo was taken at Itami Airport. This is also famous as the closest place in Japan where you can see airplanes. This is one that I managed to take in the rain, so I have a deep feeling. ?

Beautiful winter scenery. Tokachi has a high rate of sunny weather even in winter, so the blue sky and misty ice are very beautiful.

It is a cherry blossom that blooms on the ruins of Akagi Castle, which was the residence of the warlord Todo Takatora during the Sengoku period. In spring, the spotlight shines on the stage where the cherry blossoms bloom.

【Superb view of Tokachi River Onsen】Unryu It is a river fog that appears in the early morning when the temperature is below -15°C in the severe winter season of January ~ February. It came to be called "Unryu" because it looks as if a dragon is floating and lying along the flow of the Tokachi River. You can see this view at the Tokachigaoka Observatory. It is a spectacular view that can only be seen in winter! This year is the Year of the Dragon, so please come to Tokachi River Onsen to see the cloud dragon!

It is a colony of core hydrangeas blooming in the Takeki district of Kawakami Village, Nara Prefecture. Fog looks good on the lilac core hydrangea that emits a faint fragrance.

Day's end at Ohama Beach Amami Oshima, Kagoshima When I moved to Japan just a few months ago, I had never thought about living on an island before. The move was overwhelming at first, but that made my trip to see the sunset at Ohama Beach even more wonderful. This picture captures the simple beauty of life on the island, with its bountiful nature and kind people. Now, when I listen to famous songs like Begin's 「島人ぬ宝」 and The Boom's 「島歌」, I can better understand the complex feelings and love that those musicians have for their homes. It is a simple joy that I wish everyone can experience and share with those around them in their daily lives.

The Tadami Line connects Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture and Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture. This photo was taken on December 26, 2023 in Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture. The cold wave of the year has passed, and the rice fields filled with water, which had been frozen this morning, melted in the midday sun, and the sunset-dyed Mt. Gongendo and the Kiha E120 single train to Aizu were beautifully reflected!

I took a picture of the moat of the Sakurada Bunker from the Hanzomon gate of the Imperial Palace towards the Sakurada Gate. Hanzomon is the highest of the Imperial Palace gates, so it is a recommended place to overlook the vast Sakurada Moat, and you can also enjoy the night view of Kasumigaseki from evening to night.

This is a photo taken of Hibiya Street from the former Miyagi Wada Kuramon guard house on the Baba Sen moat side of the Imperial Palace Gaien. The former Miyagi Wada Kuramon guardhouse was built in 1923 (Taisho 12). When Tokugawa Ieyasu entered Edo, a bridge was built for the passage of the earthpeople, and a gate was set up. It was called the Kura no Mimon, but later it came to be called the Wada Kuramon.

It is a Japanese antelope that I met when I went to Okutama Town, Tokyo. He gave me a look at the camera, so I took a picture. The Japanese antelope is a herbivorous mammal endemic to Japan that lives in Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, excluding Hokkaido and the Chugoku region. The scientific name is Capricornis crispus, which belongs to the subfamily Goats of the artiodactyl bovine family. Due to overfishing, the number has decreased, and it was designated as a special natural monument of Japan in Showa 30. From the summer of 2022 to the fall of 2023, I went to Okutama about four times, and I was able to meet two of them, so I think there is a good chance that we will meet.
