📍 Enoshima
It was taken on the same day as the day of the Enoden shooting.
The Sunrise seen from Enoshima Island in winter is my favorite view in the world.
When the air is clear and the waves are calm, the sun's rays are reflected on the surface of the sea, creating a golden path.
There are not many people, so it is a beautiful scenery that almost sucks you in.
It is not the same place as Enoshima in the summer, you can spend a peaceful time, and the roads are not crowded, so it is recommended.
Even though the waves were calm, it was a little windy and very cold on this day, so when you go to the sea in winter, I recommend that you bring warm clothes and hot drinks!

📍 Enoshima
This is Enoden, taken at the end of 2024.
I visit once every winter to see the Sunrise on Enoshima.
I'm sure I've ridden it many times already, but the view of the sea from Enoden is always exciting.
In particular, the sea on a winter morning that can be seen from the vicinity of Kamakura High School Station is calm with few people, unlike summer, and it seems to be a beautiful painting with a sense of loneliness.
In addition, the air is clear and Mount Fuji looks very beautiful, so it is highly recommended to heal the fatigue of the year.
* Please refrain from stopping on the tracks or entering the level crossing.

Plum blossoms illuminated by street lamps, unlike in the daytime, attract the eye with a suspicious atmosphere

Hello 😃 This is Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls shop. It was warm just a few days ago… where has spring gone?

Yesterday, snow fell in Shosenkyo Gorge, transforming the area into a winter scene ❄️
Senga Falls is also dusted with snow, creating a magical sight 🙃
This may be the last snowy landscape before true spring arrives.

Meanwhile, Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls shop has already received wines that won prizes at the spring-themed Sakura Award 🌸 wine competition!

We have wines that won the top Diamond Trophy 🏆 from Maruki Budoshu, as well as other award-winning wines ☺️

Some wines are available in limited quantities, so please stop by Yamanashi Wine Kingdom Senga Falls shop when you visit Shosenkyo Gorge!

[About Bamboo Shoot Picking 2025 and Bamboo Cutting and Shredding Work]
Preparations are underway in the park this year to hold the bamboo shoot picking event again.

The day before yesterday, we carried out bamboo cutting and shredding work.
The cutting work involves thinning out old bamboo to expose the ground surface to sunlight. (Rising ground temperature is necessary for bamboo shoot growth.)

The cut bamboo has its branches and leaves removed and is fed into a shredder to make bamboo chips.
When spread on the ground, the bamboo chips become compost. This improves soil nutrition and helps produce tastier bamboo shoots.

Preparations are currently under way to hold this year’s bamboo shoot picking.
The event period is under consideration, but it is expected to run from around mid-April to early May.
Details will be posted on the Toyooka Tabi Jikan website by the Toyooka Village Tourism Association, so please check it for updates.

Metaseikochia trees in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture

We aimed for a day when it snowed.

It started snowing at dawn, and the Water of the Water on the road began to increase, and I was able to take a reflection shot.

This is a landscape photo taken when I visited Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture.
I thought the beauty of Lake Biwa peeking through the trees on a sunny day was the coolest, so I posted it for people who like landscape photography to see.
Best regards.
I'm not familiar with hashtags, so I'll add them as soon as I 😂 can
