Magan takes off all at once at sunrise This is "Izunuma", which straddles Kurihara City and Tome City in Miyagi Prefecture, and is a wild bird spot famous for the large number of magan geese flying in from the end of October every year. In particular, "Izunuma and Uchinuma" are said to be the best migratory bird flying places in Japan, where about 80% of the geese that come to Japan spend. It is especially famous for its early morning flight and evening roosting, and the scenery is so spectacular that it is popular with non-birdwatchers.

Ramsar Convention Registered Wetland Miyajima Swamp At 4 a.m. in mid-April, on a chilly early morning when the sun had not yet risen, people from inside and outside the city gathered with telephoto cameras slung over their shoulders. The fields are spread out around, and the Kabado Mountains in the background are shining white with residual snow, and Miyajima Swamp is located in such a place. Migratory birds fill the sky. In spring and autumn, Miyajima Swamp is covered with about 60,000 migratory birds in the morning. Miyajimanuma in Bibai City is the northernmost and largest transit point in Japan, and before leaving for Siberia, they pick up the fallen ears around the swamp to store energy. Since it is a globally valuable environment, it became the 13th Ramsar wetland in Japan on November 18, 2014. In the early morning, the Magan fly out all at once to the surrounding rice fields in search of the fallen fir, which is their food. This is called "roosting", and the appearance of Magan taking off as if peeling off the surface of the water is impressive. Magan covers our heads. It is also worth seeing the "roosting" in which the roosting magan returns to the swamp in the evening in a V-shaped formation from the rice field. The 2017 movie "Living Things" also uses the roosting of the magan. The best time to see Magan is in spring and autumn, with the peak of spring in late April and the peak of autumn in late September. In addition to magans, you can observe waterfowl such as swans, long-tailed ducks, and whooper swans. There is also an observation hut and a blindfolded wooden fence, so be sure to visit once.

This is the first time I visited Ouchijuku. The night before, the surrounding mountains had its first snow, and the planting in the post town became the first ice. The sky was cloudy, so I arrived a little depressed, but it was early in the morning and there were few people, but the few trees with autumn leaves that remained warmed my feelings. The people of the post town were also very kind, and my desire to support Fukushima became stronger. What I can do now is to convey the charm of Tohoku as much as possible.

Jewelry boxes seen in Saitama This photo was taken in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. The reason why I started photography was "Sea of Clouds". I went to Chichibu many times and finally took this picture. It was the first time I cried while filming. The city lights are reflected in the sea of clouds, creating a view like this. I will call it the three major clouds of Japan.            Location: Chichibu City, Saitama
