Inari-san Inari Inari Daimyojin in a corner of Hanazono Shrine in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It just so happened that when I was waiting for people at the meeting, a student came to visit. I was seriously praying, but I wonder what I was praying for in the rain Gari

When I visited the Kawagoe Hachimangu Shrine, the Aoi Dancers were demonstrating the shrine.

It is the Usui Third Bridge, commonly known as the "Megane Bridge". It is the largest brick arch bridge in Japan and was completed in the Meiji era. Although it is now abandoned railway lines, I was overwhelmed by the beauty and strength of the Megane Bridge, which once supported Japanese industry.

It is a Carp streamer on Taisho Romantic Dream Street. Today is Children's Day. 🎏

Early April Ueno Park Tsutendo and Ninja Pond There are many shrub cherry blossoms on the promenade surrounding the pond, so it is a good place to take a two-shot with the cherry blossoms. The sun was setting on the way from the park to the temple, and by the time we passed through the temple and came out on the promenade, lights began to light up here and there. While enjoying the illuminated cherry blossoms at night, I turned around for about half a circle, and the scenery unique to the magic hour, which made me feel like an oasis in the city, was reflected in the water mirror. It seemed that an idol was performing live at a nearby stadium, and the cheerful and cute voices of cheerleading echoed through the pond, making people who came and went smile. At the beginning of the evening, it seems that the bustle has only just begun.

Kamakura Meigetsu-in Temple's Window of Enlightenment On a sunny holiday, I visited Kita-Kamakura. Even in the middle of April, the cherry blossoms turn into leaf cherry blossoms and the landscape is a little lonely, but the scenery glimpsed behind this circular window is deep green, and I could already feel the Omen of summer. Behind the dimly lit Main Shrine, the colorful cut-out composition of the Garden illuminated by natural light is like looking at a painting. No matter what time you visit, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the four seasons.

The Yomeimon Gate at the Nikko Tosho-gu shrine. We arrived towards the closing time of this shrine and yet this gate made me stand and stare at the gorgeous detail of the artist's work. Very symbolic of the beautiful Japanese history. The cherry on the cake was that beyond this gate, we could walk up to the final resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, someone who I admire and had read about so much before arriving in Japan.

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. Seasonal moeki-colored sea bream lottery.

Photographed 4/11/24. Behind the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, it is the honorary cherry blossom of the Shingashi River.

This is the garden scene of Sensoji Temple just before the Someiyoshino cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The tree you can see in the back left is Someiyoshino. During the day, it is crowded with many tourists, but at night it is quiet with no people. There are a lot of street lights and lights, and if you don't show them, the cherry blossom trees will be small. It was a place where if you put the whole cherry blossom tree in, there would be a lot of ghosts. I took a lot of pictures while changing the angle of view little by little.

There are ✨✨ many colorful Flowers and Carp streamers 💐 From Nagai Uminote Park Soleil Hill

This year, the Someiyoshino cherry blossoms bloomed later than last year, so I went to take pictures of the cherry blossoms on a sunny morning in March. At that time, it seemed to coincide with the breakfast time of the whitebirds, and I took a picture of several whitebirds coming to eat the nectar of the cherry blossoms. Most of the whitebirds moved frequently from flower to flower, but the child in the photo was a bird model who stayed still until he finished taking a picture. Thank you for letting me take this picture.

Photographed 4/11/24. Behind the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, it is the honorary cherry blossom of the Shingashi River. When I was looking back, there was a nice photo.
