[Lively Forest Park] The forest park in Nishiokoppe Village reopened on April 29, at the start of Golden Week. Last year it was under renovation, and this was my first time seeing the playground equipment actually in use. I was surprised by how many people showed up on opening day! Many visitors came to make the most of the free-access play equipment. Some rode the go-karts again and again, and others kept batting at the batting cages for hours, while some enjoyed a peaceful picnic. The crowd grew even larger in the latter half of Golden Week when food trucks arrived, and the inflatable dome was continually full. Even the equipment that wasn’t free kept running. It was so pleasant to watch a park filled with the sounds of people enjoying themselves. Please come visit again! Look forward to the campground opening in early June. #Nishiokoppe Village #Forest Park #Golden Week #Opening Event #Renewal Open #Plenty of Play Equipment #Northernmost Batting Center #Sharp-turn Go-Karts #The cherry blossoms were beautifully in bloom

Romantic silhouette of Okinawa Manzamo　 The view from about halfway between the two beaches of Manza Beach and Onna Seaside Park Nabi Beach. The weather in Okinawa is wild. I often encounter stormy weather when I travel, both domestically and overseas, but when I was driving here, it was pitch black all around, and it rained so much that it was difficult to drive, so I escaped to a parking lot near here. I was depressed in the car for a while, but I knew the change in the environment by the dazzling light that came through the window. When I looked, the sky cracked, and a vivid light blue peeked out into the heavy vision covered with grey and black, and a golden light shone on my face. End of April. A day when I felt the Omen of summer.

Ise Jingu Shrine that I went to for the First Pilgrimage to the Shrine! !! Both the outer and inner shrines are lush with greenery, and you can feel the natural taste and divinity from ancient times, and it is truly Power Spot, and I think that you should definitely go with someone who wants to have a relationship with you *^^* To get to the Inner Shrine, you need a bus from the Outer Shrine, but you can get to the Outer Shrine from Osaka Namba to Ise City without changing trains on the Kintetsu Limited Express, so I think it is easy to access from the Kansai area.
