Summer in Japan is refreshing and soothing. Yes, it is humid, but every season has its pros and cons. The noisy cicadas, green forests, cool breeze, and lots of fun activities make it worth it. During my visit to Okutama this summer, I enjoyed summer water activities. One of the activities I tried for the first time was canyoning, and it was so relaxing and peaceful.

I went to Mitarai Shrine with wind chimes and listened to the sound of the bells to cool off!

In the summer, there is a Obon festival, so I went to see my one-year-old child and great-grandpa! I wonder if the child was able to meet him because he was talking about something to the grave. I thought!

Yesterday, after seeing the exhibition of Ise Mairi at Asahisha Bunko and attending the lecture, I took a Vacation at LEC COFFEE. Lemonade and coffee jelly. Coffee jelly is available for a limited time. It's very delicious, so I'm going to visit it again within the period. 😊

Summer Vacation is coming to an end! Looking at these fireworks made me feel glad that I have worked hard so far!

Fukuoka Prefecture may not be on the typical tourist route, but it harbors countless hidden gems, and Nanzoin Temple is undeniably one of the most noteworthy. It claims to house the world's largest bronze reclining Buddha statue, which exudes tranquility under the vast blue sky. Despite visiting numerous places, it holds a special place in my heart, infusing me with positivity and making it one of my favorite summer destinations.

It's 🎇 a fireworks festival with a lot of history The Suwa is a lake fireworks festival launched by Mr./Ms. fireworks masters 🎆 from an island called Hatsushima Suwa Lake is a lake in the center of the Suwa basin, and because the lake is surrounded by mountains on all sides, the sound of the fireworks that rises and blooms is a super powerful fireworks festival that resonates to the core of the body as a giant speaker Nature Suwa Lake and mountains!! I think it's a fireworks festival with a unique terrain. Even on the Home page of the fireworks festival, "Don! Bang!" That's There are expression, but that expression is the most correct!! Suwa Lake fireworks, when a large fireworks opens, the security buzzer of the car responds with the loudness and impact of the sound, which is like "again w" among Local residents. On the day of the event, it rained twice in the afternoon, but it Gari rained before the opening of the event, and it was 🎆 a very nice fireworks Held in Before the guests left, "available finally !!"

This firework festival started in 1949. After WW2, most Japanese citizens exhausted for war… We needed some hope and bounce back. So, it’s started this firework festival for citizens. It has been held in 1949. This year was 76th. How awesome it is!!! But recently, we got the Nankai Trough Earthquake Warnings, so had to pay close attention to everything. Our fireworks festival launches on the lake. The Lake Suwa’s unique point is the lake was surrounded by mountains!!! This is a big point. That’s why we could hear fireworks sound is so loud! It means we can feel sound in our body!!! I bet, if you feel same size fireworks compare to Lake Suwa or other, you will say Lake Suwa fireworks way louder than others! I promise!!! Because, we have unique landscape around Lake Suwa. The mountains become just like huge speaker!!! So, we can feel and hear sound so loud! This phenomenon is ONLY Lake Suwa!!! It is an exceptional situation. During the morning was sunny but, afternoon it was rain twice. Just before the festival, it was so nice weather! So, we held very nice festival. Thank you so much!!!
