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.
