Kure Volcano, Hiroshima Recommended spots in Hiroshima #Kurahashi Volcano 👈 1 from 📸 the volcano on Kurahashi Island It is a superb view spot overlooking the 360° Seto Inland Sea. There are various climbing routes here, and there are many scenic points. I want to go again! It's a wonderful mountain that makes you think! 😊 ◾️ Currently, the road that can be reached near the summit is closed due to falling rocks, and you will have to climb from the middle of the mountain. It takes about 40 minutes from the road and about 1 hour from the mountain trail, but I definitely recommend the mountain trail! The stairs are a little tough, but... 😅

First solo trip to Kyoto! It was a weekday morning, so there were few people and I was able to take a beautiful picture!

Nishikigaura One of Atami’s scenic spots. This celebrated coastline of sheer cliffs stretches about 1 kilometer south from Uomizaki, the gateway to the Izu Peninsula. (Uomizaki–Nishikigaura–Sogaura totals about 2 kilometers) When the sun rises, its light pours over the bay and flashes in five brilliant colors, so the place took the poetic name Nishikigaura, borrowing the image of woven brocade from Kyoto. Remnants of the Atami-Taga volcano remain here, and legends linked to historical figures such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and Kato Kiyomasa still survive. The cliffs tower about 80 meters high. Strange rock formations carved by the rough waves—Kabuto Rock, Bedrock, Eboshi Rock, Benten Rock—stand in a row, while Hatsushima and Oshima float offshore. For the best view, head to the area near Hotel New Akao and the cafe “Hana no Yousei.” Note: Access to Hotel New Akao’s rooftop garden is limited to hotel guests only. Thank you for your understanding.

📍 Nara / Rika Shrine A little-known shrine in the depths of Nara Park. The autumn leaves were in full bloom and surrounded the entire shrine. I was able to take one picture that is typical of Japan. In today's world, the traditions of the past are gradually fading, but I would like to preserve this kind of scenery.

📍 Nara / Nara Park It was adorable to see the two deer facing each other. It was quite difficult to photograph animals, and they didn't move as expected, so I waited patiently and waited for a photo opportunity.

📍 Tokyo / Tokyo Tower Tokyo Tower peeks out from between high-rise condominiums. I feel that it is the scenery of a modern building.

📍 Tokyo / Seiki Sakuragaoka This slope is familiar from anime and commercials. I tried to cut it from a different angle.

📍 Aichi Prefecture / Tourism Farm Hanahiroba A tourist farm with flowers blooming 365 days a year at the tip of the Chita Peninsula. After all, it is a spot where you can pick flowers and take them home, so you can take pictures with sunflowers like this. Sunflowers blooming on vast lands. The pink truck looked great and it was wonderful!

📍 Aichi / Ichinomiya City Kiso Mikawa Park 138 Park A cherry blossom boardwalk on the side of the park. Yoshino cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully.

📍 Aichi / Kawazu boardwalk A tunnel on the outskirts of Shinshiro City. There is a position where you can see the cherry blossom trees when you look through the tunnel. The pink color of the cherry blossoms is reflected in the tunnel and it is beautiful.
