Twilight Enoshima Enoshima Sea Candle and Enoshima Samuel Cocking Garden We got off at Kita-Kamakura in the morning, and after walking for a day in a busy sky of rain and sun, we arrived here in Enoshima. If you look up, you can see the afterglow of the light and the night book. The sea candles are lit with blue-gray lights and the garden facilities are lit with orange lights, creating a celestial and gorgeous atmosphere. Before it started to be crowded with tourists, I luxuriously enjoyed the space that was enveloped in silence for a moment.

Nagikama Shrine⛩ The other day I visited Nagikama Shrine on Kirigamine for the first time. Last year I heard about Nagikama Shrine, which had replaced its wooden torii with a stone monument, and I had planned to visit after the snow melted. A passing comment from my wife, who loves Kirigamine, finally prompted us to go. As someone who loves the Onbashira festival, I’ve grown fond of visiting shrines, and I had long wanted to see Nagikama Shrine, so I took my camera and headed for Kirigamine at last. We parked in the lot below the ski area and followed directions toward the Glider Museum, but unsure of the way and hesitating, I spotted a small sign in front of the museum reading Nagikama Shrine 0.5 km and followed it. It felt a bit farther than expected. Together with my wife and our two children, we walked for several minutes, enjoying Kirigamine’s nature, until we saw the stone monument marking Nagikama Shrine. As a shrine, a torii would feel more fitting, but the stone monument had its own charm. The approach was neatly covered with wood chips, making for a very pleasant walk. When we reached the small shrine, the view took my breath away. It was a scene that excited me like I hadn’t felt in a long time. The clear weather that day only amplified the spectacle. Below stretched the Suwa Basin, the serene Lake Suwa sat beautifully, the Central Alps rose ahead, the Northern Alps to the right, the Southern Alps to the left with sacred Mt. Fuji beside them, and Yatsugatake behind to the left. A shrine that offers a view of so many mountains at once may be rare in Japan, I thought.🏔 As a self‑declared Seeker of Suwa’s Best Views, this vista immediately made my list of top spots. Tateishi Park offers a sweeping view of the Suwa plain and is very scenic, but Nagikama sits at a higher elevation and has an indescribable beauty. I felt it would be a shame to keep this to myself, so I’m sharing it here. The shrine’s goshuin (stamp) is newly available, so anyone touring Suwa’s shrines or visiting Kirigamine should definitely stop by. If the weather is clear, you won’t regret it! ・Enshrined deities: Takeminakata no Okami, also known as Osuwa‑sama: god of martial valor and abundant harvests ・Oyamatsumi no Okami: god of industry and maritime affairs, and further revered as the ancestral deity of sake brewing ・Ashinazuchi no Okami and Tenazuchi no Okami ⇐ Kushinadahime: parents of Kushinadahime, wife of Susanoo no Mikoto A nagikama (a sacred implement shaped like a sickle) discovered at the ruins of the former Misayama is dedicated here. After the main pillars for the Onbashira are selected, the nagikama is hammered onto those pillars. Curiously, this practice occurs only on the Onbashira of Suwa Taisha Upper Shrine. The nagikama has a shape resembling a rooster’s head and is considered one of Suwa Taisha’s sacred treasures. The nagikama is enshrined inside the hokora, so please take a look along with the spectacular view. Suwa Taisha also offers nagikama amulets♪

I cut out the night scene. This is the illumination of Kyoto Kiyomizu-dera Temple during the autumn foliage season. Impression of the tower that emerges in the dark is mysterious and very beautiful. The very act of directing like this. Cool Japan.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Japan's proud history? Is it traditional performing arts, historical buildings, or the food culture of Shomata Japan? Among them, I would like to recommend this "night view" Each building, big or small, has a history and a memory Buildings and houses are demolished due to the deterioration of buildings, and new buildings are constructed through the development of the city. Through such a history, the night view has changed The scenery you see now may change again in a few years I think it is no exaggeration to say that the "night view" where you can see such changes in history is also a history that Japan is proud of Location: Sapporo City, Hokkaido New Three Great Night Views

Sometime scenery View of Odaiba Bayside from a houseboat. It's around this time today that the waterside is comfortable. From all over the country, we heard about the opening of the river, the opening of the sea, and the topic of fireworks. This is Odaiba Bayside. If you look at the sea from the observation deck, attracted by the expansive scenery and the lights that shine in the dark night, you will see that there are many enviable targets such as houseboats, sightseeing boats, wind currents, and fairy tales. Even if it shakes, it shakes. I challenged with poor equipment without image stabilization and dared to sink ... If you enjoy looking at the atmosphere photos ...

"Pampas grass" that shines on the back of the moonlit night I photographed the pampas grass fluttering in the wind in the middle of the night so that it would not shake, and so that the brightness of the bright moon would shine, but the main pampas grass would not be defeated by the moonlight.

Tokyo Station in the middle of the night I didn't know that the lights went out at 21 o'clock. But I got a good photo, so the result is alright!

I went to the Flower and Light Movement in Kasai Rinkai Park. I was able to spend a wonderful time surrounded by beautiful and fragrant daffodils.
