Akita prefecture is a breathtaking destination that boasts of magnetic wilderness and a perfect climate for growing the most delicious apples you have ever tasted. During my recent visit to the Yokote Kamakura Festival, my eyes were caught by the sight of sugar-coated, bright-red Akita apples that looked incredibly tempting. Without second thoughts, I grabbed one and took a bite. The sweetness was unlike anything I had ever tasted before, and it left me craving for more. It was truly an exhilarating experience!

Nestled along the banks of the Arashiyama River in Kyoto, a scene unfolds that whispers of Japan's timeless beauty and rich heritage. Here, where the past meets the present, the leaves of the trees sway in the breeze and gently cascade onto the water's surface like delicate memories. The river, a silent witness to centuries gone by, reflects the vibrant hues of the foliage and the graceful curves of the ancient bridge of Togetsu-kyo. This photograph is not just a snapshot in time but a promise to preserve these views of Japan's serene landscapes for the future, ensuring that the essence of this magical place endures for generations to come..

Shiba is a place full of Japanese style, the streets are beautiful, and even the appearance of supermarkets here has a retro feeling, which is very distinctive

Autumn evening. Climb to the top of the mountain at the end of the cable car. The illuminated autumn leaves beautifully wrap the mountainside, and beyond that, a night view floating in the dark night spreads out. The view was truly spectacular.

When I climbed to the top of Mt. Matsuda, I saw a large panorama overlooking Sagami Bay beyond the contrast between the Kawazu cherry blossoms and rape blossoms.

As we climbed through the sacred air, a wonderful sight awaited us. If you go through this tunnel of autumn leaves, you will find the Saijoji Temple. I prayed for world peace so that this wonderful landscape of autumn would be preserved for the future.

I visited Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which opens before dawn. It was a wonderful scene, with the bright red autumn leaves emerging from the darkness and the sunrise illuminating the cityscape of Kyoto from the mountainside. The scenery of the theater for several hours, which was eventually dyed into the blue sky, was a masterpiece.

My first time in Tsumagoi Village. It was beautiful and touching.

The mist at sunrise was beautiful

In 1575, the Battle of Nagashino, in which Takeda Katsuyori, who led the strongest cavalry corps at the time, and the allied forces led by Nobunaga and Ieyasu clashed. At Yutani Onsen, a 1300-year-old hot spring resort in Shinshiro City, Aichi Prefecture, where the local preservation society performed the "Jin Drum" that sounded on the battlefield to raise the morale of soldiers during the Battle of Nagashino. Visit on the last Saturday of February 2024 I hope that traditional culture will continue forever.

This place is often compared to the renowned Tokyo station by many tourists. It used to be the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice but now serves as the Institute of Legal Affairs and the Legal Library. The Meiji period construction was designed by two competent German architects. Despite being damaged in World War II, it was successfully restored. The symmetrical and majestic architecture of the building is simply breathtaking. The European style of the Meiji period is beautifully represented in this structure and looks even more stunning during the rare snowfall in Tokyo. Exploring new places in this bustling city during the snow season is an experience worth having.

"The Tree That Saved My Life" This is "Isehama Beach" in Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture. On March 11, 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake caused a massive tsunami, and miraculously, several people climbed this tree and saved their lives, so it is called "the tree that saved lives."

Kamifurano "Sunrise Park" The house with the red roof looks great 🌳🏠🪻 I was 📷 able to take a picture like a picture It has a lavender-like vibe, but it is 🌿 a plant of the Lamiaceae family called Blue Catmint Lavender in this park also seems to bloom, so it is recommended 🪻 to go after the lavender blooms
