It is a thatched circle of Kawagoe Kumano Shrine.

I was able to capture the scenery that makes me feel the old-fashioned atmosphere of Japan in the photo.

I was able to make good use of the front bokeh and photograph Nagahama Castle, which has an overwhelming presence.

I had an errand and early in the morning, and when I left the house at about 5 o'clock, I was able to take a picture of Hikone Castle standing against a golden background caused by the sunrise.

The Northern Alps taken from inside a car. The cars don't stop, and I can't get this view out of my head when I pass the tracks.

Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture Ikuta Shrine

Kumamoto Prefecture Unnamed Trail Kumamoto, not just place names, It's also a fog, a rain, A telephone pole, quietly marking the boundaries of travelers' memories.

Takachiho Cheonan Kawara Here, Shenyin never needs tickets, A river, moss green, It is enough to calm the soul and return the mind to the mountain.

Fukuoka・Itoshima Totoro Forest Trail Some roads, there is no navigation, but there are always people who remember how to go. The angle at which the sun shines down, like a whisper of the forest, says: "Go inside, and you will meet you in childhood."

Dogs on Mount Aso The wind blows in the ears, but it is unhurried. Because no matter how big the mountain is, it can't compare to the familiar embrace. A dog of an old couple, The years that have passed are far longer than volcanoes.

Kumamoto Aso Mountain Road Into the silence of the fault, Step by step, as if listening to the earth's breath. The distant mountains are like waves, the clouds are whispering, And I am a speck of dust walking through the core.

This one is located in Kumamoto. The wind has not arrived, the rain is thin, Mountains and clouds talk about a whispered dream. The footsteps are quiet, the heart is also quiet, It was as if the world was holding its breath for this meadow.

This one is located in Kumamoto. Low afternoon clouds pressing down on the mountains, The grass buried all the thoughts in the wet soil. The yellow flowers bloom quietly, Not for whom, but to prove the weight of the season.

This photo was taken near Kurokawa Onsen. The sky is low, and there are two transparent umbrellas on the side of the road It's like the silence of guarding each other. It's not a way home, It is the starting point of going deep into the forest and into the heart. Silent fir forest, Whispering silent memories and distant places.
