Gulf art in Higashikagawa City, Kagawa Prefecture The bay has become art here, and I was impressed when I came. It was also an Instagrammable spot, and there were quite a few young photographers who were all photographed in fashionable clothes It's not fun to shoot normally, so everyone was laughing at my family's style, so the atmosphere of the place was relaxed and it was 😌 fun

Aina Satoyama Park, Hyogo Although it is located in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture Japan it is a place where you can experience like an old tale, and I hope that the traditional culture and houses of this Japan, which are healed when you come here, will be carefully preserved forever and passed on to the next generation

Mt. Fuji seen from Tateishi Park in Yokosuka City is a work of art itself. I want to see this scenery forever.

A nostalgic hearth that is hard to see now At the Wakihonjin Okutani of Tsumagojuku, you can see the nostalgic fireplace. Moreover, it is only in winter, and on a sunny day, you can see the fantastic light shining into the hearth. I went from Tokyo by highway bus to see only this scenery, but it was quite an emotional scenery. It is a view that I want to keep forever.

Early morning in Kitaakita City, Akita Prefecture. It was a cold morning down to -10°C, but thanks to that, the air was very clear. No matter how many times you go, you will be healed by the calm atmosphere unique to the countryside.

There is actually a valley in Todoroki Ryokuchi. It's a very clear place with very clear air, and it's perfect for a date. There is a statue with a mysterious atmosphere a short walk away. You can take a different face every time you take a picture, so if you are a photographer, please go and take a picture.

Summer 2023. Kawasaki Daishi's wind chime market was held for the first time in a long time. It is one that seems to hear the sound of wind chimes.

It's a superb view between snowflakes! On a sunny day, Rusutsu Resort and Mt. Yotei look beautiful!

It's right in front of my house! Fresh snow in ^^ winter While ^^ looking at Rusutsu Resort

Recent view of Rekifune River It is mid to late January, and the cold has deepened in Taiki Town. The Rekifune River running through Taiki Town has frozen over considerably 🧊 I compared photos of the Rekifune River seen from Furusato Bridge from last autumn and from this month. Temperatures will drop further, and the frozen sections are expected to grow! Will it freeze over completely…?

This is a night view of the factory of Kosaka Refining Co., Ltd., located in Kosaka Town, Kazuno District, Akita Prefecture. The factories surrounded by snow-covered mountains are a very impressive scenery. There are various factories all over the country, but the factories in the snow country are also beautiful.

Hiroshima Kure City Onomichi City Jodoji Temple Recommended spots in Hiroshima #Jodoji Mountain Observatory 👈 The Onomichi Waterworks seen from the Jodojiyama Observatory was also a good view.

It is Ritsurin Park during the fresh green season. It is highly regarded from overseas and has many foreign tourists.

I took this photo at Daimonzaka on Kumano Kodo. It is very pleasant to walk on the stone steps while bathing in soft sunlight and negative ions. It has become famous on social media, but I can only hope that this nature will never be destroyed by human hands and will always be in a beautiful state.

江田島市, Hiroshima Recommended spots in Hiroshima #Navy Road 👈 #Etajima I went to Etajima because I wanted 📸 to take a picture of the mysterious Navy Road on the road to the torii gate ⛩️ that appears when the tide goes out I waited with excitement at the timing of the sunset and the fullness of the sea, and I walked many times on the footprints that I walked for 2 hours 😂, and I passed 🤭 the time by going back and forth to the torii gate many times

At Mt. Hachiman in Shichinohe Town, Aomori Prefecture. It seems that this place used to operate under the name of Lavender Village, but now it has gone out of business. It is a wonderful place with a building that does not look like Japan. Now a solar panel has been installed next to it, and I can't go inside. It is said that photography is a once-in-a-lifetime event, but I am really glad that I took it when I could.

Tomonoura, Fukuyama, Hiroshima Recommended spots in Hiroshima #Tomonoura 👈 @bingolife8 One piece 📸 with the sunrise and the port town of Tomonoura The stairs leading to the Tomonoura Ethnological Museum were very tasteful, and the cityscape overlooking them was dyed red and had a good view.

Beautiful winter scenery. Tokachi enjoys many clear winter days, so the blue skies and rime ice look stunning.

Spectacular View at Tokachigawa Onsen: Unryu Unryu is a river mist that appears on frigid mornings in January and February when temperatures drop below −15°C. It came to be called “Unryu” because the fog rising along the flow of the Tokachi River looks like a dragon stretching and resting. You can view this scene from the Tokachigaoka Observatory. This breathtaking sight is visible only in winter! This year is the Year of the Dragon—come to Tokachigawa Onsen to see Unryu!

三原市, Hiroshima Recommended spots in Hiroshima #須波稲荷神社 👈 @miharashi.official @bingolife8 A piece 📸 bathed in sunlight from the torii gate ⛩ of Subami Inari Shrine At this time of day, when you can feel the warmth of the sun, if you are lucky, you can see the hair storm and the fantastic scenery spreads.

Recommended spots in Hiroshima #Jigozen 👈 @trip_hatsukaichi One piece 📸 at the first sunrise and the lily seagull I've gotten 📸 the hang of taking pictures of lily seagulls with their wings spread It was a pity that the timing of the tide was 💦 a little bad

The bottle is a sunset scene from the top of the forest Ehime Prefecture. The silhouette on the right side of the photo is a shrine at the top of the mountain. On the front of the shrine is written "Ishidoyama Daigongen Women's Path", and inside the shrine is Ishido Kongo Zao Daigongen. The mountain you can see in front of you is Mt. Ishizuchi, the highest peak in Shikoku. In the majestic nature, the mind is cleansed and you feel reverent. It is an ancient mountain worship and the original scenery of Japan that we want to preserve for the future.

"Signal 🔔 of Dawn" 2023.11.3 am6:44 Kasai City, Hyogo I went to Shuhenji Temple in Abiki-cho. Shooting the longed-for sea of clouds. Stand by from dawn and watch the sunrise overlook the sea of clouds below. I was impressed by the orange sunrise and the sea of clouds spreading out in front of me.

『Link More HIMEJI』 2023.11.30 pm9:03 Taken in front of Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. I saw the light-up show of the commercial facility "Piore Himeji" in front of Himeji Station. The illumination on the wall vividly colors the city at night. The square in front of the castle is also lit up as a project to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Himeji Castle World Heritage Site, and the illumination imitating matches, which is a local industry in Himeji, is shining. Sightseeing in Himeji at night is hot!

Hello to everyone watching Cool Japan Videos, nice to meet you. We are the Higashiizu Town Tourism Association in Shizuoka Prefecture! Higashiizucho, Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture, is a town rich in nature on the east coast of the Izu Peninsula. Along the coast, six hot spring areas—Okawa Onsen, Hokkawa Onsen, Atagawa Onsen, Katase Onsen, Shirata Onsen, and Inatori Onsen—have developed the town as a hot spring destination. For this first post on Cool Japan Videos, we bring you a taste of what makes Higashiizucho in Shizuoka Prefecture special, including recommended sights and activities! ◎ Tourist information for Higashiizucho, Shizuoka Prefecture ◆ Izu Animal Kingdom (formerly Izu Biopark) Perched on a hill above Izu Inatori Onsen, this is a full-scale leisure park. Often called "Anikin," it is beloved by visitors. At Izu Animal Kingdom you can see animals up close and even enjoy feeding experiences with giraffes and tigers (including a white tiger)! The area around Restaurant Animal Kingdom is also part of the zoo, letting you dine while watching large predators. The park also includes an amusement area, sports facilities, a plum garden called Umezono, and "Dinosaur Forest," featuring various dinosaur sculptures. There are so many attractions that a full day of fun awaits. ◆ Atagawa Banana Crocodile Garden This tropical botanical garden houses about 100 crocodiles across 16 species. Beyond crocodiles, it is the only place in Japan to keep the white-handed gibbon and the Amazonian manatee. The greenhouse uses Atagawa’s hot spring heat to grow roughly 5,000 tropical plants, including banana trees and tropical water lilies—an absolute must-see. Bananas and papayas harvested on site are served at the attached fruit parlor. ◆ Kitagawa Onsen Moon Road With its magical atmosphere, Kitagawa Onsen Moon Road was selected as one of the One Hundred Moon Views of Japan. "Moon Road" refers to the path of moonlight reflected on the sea surface. Kitagawa Onsen Moon Road ranked first in the "I want to visit" category of the Fujinokuni Angel Power Spot poll, voted on by Shizuoka residents. Some say wishes made at the Moon Road come true. The best time to see the Moon Road clearly is on and around the full moon. ◆ Lion Rock Lion Rock is a large rock at the water’s edge on the coast of Okawa Onsen. It is named Lion Rock because it looks like a lion lying down and roaring into the distance.
