End of Ume Plum Rain With rain that comes and goes suddenly The sound of thunder breaking through the sky When your heart is rough and you want to go out for a change of pace A rain woman who gets such weather only At a temple in Kamakura where water streams Peering into a floating water pool of hydrangeas The world that can be seen through the gaps in the flowers It was shaking very quietly

It is said to be the best bloom in the last 20 years I have seen the Ume Plum of "Kazahaya no Sato". As you can see. If you don't see it, it's a loss! Tsu City, Mie Prefecture Prefecture "Kazahaya no Sato" 2025/3/8

📍 Hakone Owakudani Owakudani is located in the Hakone area of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. Owakudani was formed by an Eruption about 3,000 years ago. It is one of the few spots in Japan where you can feel the earth alive up close with the smell of sulfur and the smoke that rises. On this day, there were a few clouds, but since the Elevation of Owakudani is high, I was able to see Mt. Mount Fuji and Lake Ashi very beautifully without obstruction.

📍 Tama River Sengen Shrine The shrine is located a 2-minute walk from Tama River Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line, Tama River Line, Meguro Line, Namboku Line, and Mita Line. The God of worship is the god who protects the mountain greenery, Princess Kibana Sakiya. This photo shows the entrance to the shrine (approach to the temple). Since it was the Time Slot / Time of Day when the sun was setting, the photo created a solemn atmosphere. The sunset that you can see at the end of the climb is very beautiful, and it is one of my favorite shrines. 【！ Caution! Please refrain from destroying the scenery of the shrine, polluting it, or causing inconvenience. Equipment: Nikon D850 Editing software: Adobe Lightroom
