Another photo from Kumagaya. This is a big map outside of Kumagaya Station's North Exit, depicting, from what I understand, Kumagaya and the surrounding area in 1936. It's a bit difficult to see, but if you zoom in you can see Kumagaya on the left side with Tokyo in the upper left behind it, and to the right of Kumagaya you can see Kami-Kumagaya, from there, if you look to the bottom-right you'll see Kumagaya City Hall and furthest to the right is Ishiwara. Underneath Ishiwara you can also see several schools elementary, middle, high school and a hospital. It's quite difficult to see in this photo, but the mountain at the far back right is Mt. Asama, and you can see Nagatoro as well. On top of that, there's the Arakawa River running through the background of the entire map and a bridge connecting to Onuma Park as well. There's tons of stuff to see in just this one map, I love looking at old maps and historic things like this. I could stare at it for hours and still find new and interesting things.

Some photos I took during my visit to the Edo-Tokyo Museum. I really enjoyed seeing the recreations of the Edo cityscape and seeing what the city would have looked like back in the day. I like that you can also get a feel for what life was like at that time and you can even see people doing various jobs or holding tools related to them. I enjoyed seeing the boats as well, as it showed how shipping would been carried out at the time, and you also get to see the architecture of the ships, which was really awesome in my honest opinion. I also tried getting a decent photo of Tokugawa Ieyasu but I was really short on time when visiting as the museum was about to close, so I definitely need to go back there again. I wanted to see some of the other exhibits as well, stuff like the Great Kanto Earthquake exhibits, etc. so I have an excuse to visit again lol.

I took this photo when I went on a trip to Nagoya before Corona. I remember that the season was summer and it was very sunny and very hot. Nagoya Castle at that time was under construction, and unfortunately I couldn't go inside the castle, so I took a walk around. There was a lot of delicious food in Nagoya, and I would like to go to Nagoya Castle again to see the inside, so I hope that the vaccine will spread and we will be able to go out safely.

Fukushima, Kiso, Kiso District, Nagano You can see the cliff-style houses from the "Gyojinbashi Pedestrian Bridge". The stone wall is built without gaps, and it is said that it was made in the old days so that it would not collapse even if the Kiso River rises. It is much more powerful to see in person than in the photo. Heading from Shiojiri Station, Kiso Hirasawa, Naraijuku, Kiso Fukushima and other tourist attractions with wind continue to occur, so I think you can enjoy sightseeing with the flow. This is especially recommended for those who take pictures.
