During my visit to western Japan last autumn, my final stop was Hiroshima. Despite its tragic history, the city serves as a powerful symbol of resilience, much like the phoenix rising from the ashes. The Hiroshima Castle, which was reconstructed after being destroyed in World War II, stands as a testament to this resilience. The castle grounds provide a peaceful retreat with a variety of trees and flowers, creating a beautiful and tranquil setting for visitors. Inside the castle tower, the museum offers a chance to explore the rich history of the Hiroshima castle town and provides breathtaking views of the city from the observation platform at the top.

I would like to say to those who are satisfied with only school trips. That's not enough to know all about Kyoto. If you walk around Kyoto, you can say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city. Where is this place? I think it's a journey to find it.

If such a large gate is located near the Golden Pavilion and the rock garden of Ryoanji Temple, why doesn't everyone go? And that's fine. You can leave it as it is. Remembering the Rashomon gate that used to be in Heiankyo, I walked slowly, indulging in the thoughts of the thief in the rain inn under the Rashomon.

Funaya in Ine, Kyoto Whenever I look at it, I feel that it is amazing to be able to maintain this scenery even though it is close to the sea, and it seems that the reason why Ine Bay is less affected by disasters is because Qingdao, which becomes a bay, protects it.

That was three years ago, when I visited Kyoto for the second time. Ryoanji Temple was closed for renovation work and I was at a loss. At that time, there was a Ninnaji temple nearby, and I decided to head there. Sohonzan of the Shingon sect Sohonzan Omuro sect. It was December when I felt warmth as well as beauty.

Kyoto is no longer the home of the Japanese people. It makes me sad to think about it, but it may be becoming true. However, I would like to see only the Tochi-in Temple, which is related to many warlords such as Fukushima Masanori, in our hometown. Now I just enjoy the garden that no one knows.

3 minutes walk from Kyoto National Museums. Kayakuni Shrine dedicated to Hideyoshi. It seems that the Karamon gate that was originally located in Nanzenji Temple Totou Kinjiin was relocated. It used to be in Nijo Castle, and before that it was in Fushimi Castle. It is a wonderful Karamon that conveys the opulence of the Momoyama period. In front of the gate, two bows, two applause, one bow.

Nanzenji Temple Totou Tenjoan, I walked in the midst of the rain. Someone once said that it is the Japanese sensibility to enhance the beauty of water as it is and feel the beauty. I see. Was this what it was?

Kanchi-in, a temple near Toji Temple. One of the hidden gems known only to those in the know. From the guest hall, a national treasure where Miyamoto Musashi is said to have stayed, you can see the garden of dry mountain water and the five-story pagoda. The view from the bullet train is quaint, but the five-story pagoda seen from here is also beautiful.

The head of the Rinzai sect Sohonzan Myoshinji Temple, Katsura Spring Temple. Moss doesn't talk and shows the same appearance all the time. But if you look at it from a sitting position, the moss speaks. Oh I see??? Is this natural? It was early spring when my legs started to go numb.

A short walk from Kiyomizu-dera Temple to Chishaku-in, a temple associated with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It's a hidden gem. You can have this scenic garden all to yourself. There is a beautiful fusuma painting on the back, and Rikyu's favorite Garden spreads out in front of you. It was sad to leave this beautiful and gorgeous world, and I looked back many times.

The remaining snow disappeared and we were finally able to reach it. Taroji Waterfall in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture A waterfall streams vigorously through a green space of fresh greenery and moss The white strip was a very good contrast. There is a cave to the right of the Waterfall basin, creating a sense of seclusion.

Tulips are a timeless beauty. With their vibrant colors, graceful shapes, and subtle fragrances, they have become one of the most beloved flowers in the world. During my visit to Toyama, I went to the Nyuzen flower field, one of the largest tulip fields in Japan. The field boasts a fantastic backdrop of Snowcapped northern Alps.

In Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture, there is a satoyama called "Sakatayama Symbiotic Forest". The Sakata Mountain Symbiotic Forest is close to the city and is a familiar satoyama that is familiar to the community. The cherry blossoms are beautiful, and the view from the hill is wonderful~! In order to tell everyone about the goodness of Mt. Sakata, on Saturday, April 13, 2024 We held a hiking event. The cherry blossoms were blooming, the weather was good, and it was a great day with a view of the mountains. Fun was also enjoyed by everyone who participated. Please go out to the "Sakata Mountain Symbiosis Forest". The "Dragon Split Stone", which resembles a rock that appeared in the Adult anime, is also a must see! We recommend renting a bicycle to Mt. Sakata! About 20 minutes by bicycle from Suzaka Station. Enjoy cycling and hiking~!

Chidorigawa Sakuratsumi Park, Kato City, Hyogo Prefecture The weather is always bad during the cherry blossom season, and especially when shooting at night, there is wind and the cherry blossoms are blurry, but luckily there was no wind and it was 😀 easy to shoot Originally, this place is not lit up and the cherry blossoms are pitch dark, but since there is no one in the middle of the night, the cherry blossoms are lit up and photographed.

I went to see the drooping cherry blossoms for the first time at Chidorigawa Sakuratsumi Park in Kato City, Hyogo Prefecture. I have seen the drooping Ume plum many times, but the drooping cherry blossoms were 😯 Impression

Awaji City, Hyogo Prefecture "Tamoyan Sakura" is still not well known, but the late Mr. Tamotsu Takaya nicknamed Tamoyan planted cherry blossoms on the slopes of terraced rice fields, and in about 60 years, it has grown so much that it has grown so much that with the cooperation of local residents, weeds and miscellaneous trees have been trimmed and maintained, and a building has been rented out in front of the cherry blossoms. Accommodations? I don't know if it's a villa because I don't have any Information yet, but there are facilities like a hotel, and one big cherry blossom can revitalize the community and connect with it, and various thoughts are put into it.
