Sunflower field 🌻 in Musashimurayama I have been visiting every year lately. I'm looking forward to this year. Who is bigger, the second son or the sunflower?

I photographed Inuyama Castle on a summer night. The illuminated Inuyama Castle, the full moon, the lights of the buildings and towns, and the reflection of the water surface created a very beautiful scene.

Jade Prefecture Koshigaya City Katori Shrine The sound of cool wind chimes There were many wind chimes in the precincts, and I felt summer ✨

品川区 蛇窪神社, Tokyo Hanachozu ✨ shining in the quiet precincts The combination of crystals and flowers was beautiful and I was fascinated.

Atami Sun Beach A blue sea and white sand, a row of hotels, and a palm-lined promenade create a beach that feels like an upscale overseas resort. In summer it serves as a bathing beach and, as a place to stroll along the sand or play in the waves, it is popular with families and couples. At dawn you can see a beautiful scene as the sunrise rises from the horizon, dyeing the beach and town, and at night the beach is lit in a magical display—the first beach illumination in Japan—designed by world-renowned lighting designer Mikako Ishii. During the summer season many people use the beach as a swimming area, and the hugely popular Sun Beach Water Park is also thriving. The beach is frequently used as a location for TV and photo shoots, including the drama Hibana.

At Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture "Mishima Shrine Festival" Annual local festivals It is a rural festival where the population decline is unstoppable, but only at this time, it is more crowded than Shin lodging Station in the rush to go home It's a Japanese landscape that I don't want to lose

Japanese summer tradition "wind chimes" On the porch of my grandparents' house, where I spent my summer vacation, there is only the passing time and the sound of wind chimes That was good It's a Japanese landscape that I don't want to lose

Naraijuku, Nagano Prefecture in summer. It is said to be the longest post town in Japan, which runs about 1 km from north to south along the Nakasendo road. The scenery of the post town spread out as if it had traveled back in time to the Edo period. It is an old and beautiful Japanese cityscape that I would like to preserve for the future.

In August 2023, I climbed the mountain to photograph Yakusugi. We walked for 10 hours round trip, and along the way, we saw wonderful scenery and powerful Yakusugi cedars. The scenery was really reminiscent of Princess Mononoke. It is understandable that it is chosen as a superb view that you want to go to before you die.

I took a picture of the village of Ochiai in Tokushima Prefecture with soba flowers. It is a typical Japanese scenery that I hope will remain forever.

Photographed at Chichibugahama Beach in Mitoyo City, Kagawa Prefecture It is 🫧 called the Salar de Uyuni in Japan It's not a picture of a mirror in the sky, Just looking at the sea is very soothing ☺️

This photo was taken at the fireworks festival at the end of July last year Even though I only had a mini tripod at that time, I could only stand and see where I could get it, so I did my best for 10 seconds of hand-held SS laughs.

Tokyo Adachi Fireworks Festival Summer is a fireworks festival, but I feel a little lonely because it feels like summer ends as soon as the fireworks end. It's a sight you won't want to forget forever.

At dusk on a 🌅 summer day I was very fascinated by the evening sky, wondering if there was such a beautiful scenery in my casual daily life The sky, sunset and sea were ☺️ very beautiful

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

I was stunned by my husband ♡ when I involuntarily blew on the wind chimes swaying in the wind At Kawasaki Daishi's wind chime market. The pattern of the yukata is also Japan, and the model me has a Japan face! laughs

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

Chofu City, Tokyo Shindaiji Temple Soba Yayaki In the midst of the intense heat, I found a cool hydrangea flower hand water at the Shindaiji temple where I stopped. The crystal clear water and lively hydrangeas were beautiful and seemed to forget the heat.

In Ehime Prefecture Yawatahama Station The day before, I was planning to get up early in the morning to bully my tired body on the ferry from Kyushu and take the train to Shimonada Station. I used the nearest station to the ferry port, Yawatahama Station. Maybe it's because I woke up early in the morning, or maybe it's been a long time since I've returned to Japan, but the scenery I wasn't looking for is now my favorite.

The first traditional festival in Fukushima Prefecture that I went to see Soma Noma Oi. The appearance of the unfolding goes back in time

Haskap hunting In the idyllic countryside surrounded by nature, there is a haskap field with dark purple berries that bear fruit like bells. Bibai City is the production area of "haskap", which boasts the highest harvest in Japan, and you can enjoy haskap picking experience at many farms in the city during the season of June ~ July. Haskap, which is famous as a healthy fruit, contains a lot of vitamins, calcium, iron, etc., and is said to be effective in preventing anemia, sensitivity to cold, eye strain, as well as spots and freckles, and was once prized as a "fruit of immortality and longevity" in Ainu culture. Haskap, a precious fruit grown only in a limited area of Hokkaido, is also called the "phantom fruit" or "pearl of the north." The haskap hunting experience is held for about one month from the end of June every year.
