I visited here last year at the "Ogata Shrine Plum Festival" and the scenery was very beautiful and made me feel that spring had come, so I went there again this year.

Hikawa Shrine is a Musashi Ichinomiya shrine in Saitama Prefecture. The red building of Hikawa Shrine stands out beautifully at dusk. It is said to have a history of more than 2,400 years, and it is one of the oldest shrines in the Japan that was the origin of the place name of Omiya as a great palace residence. As Musashi Ichinomiya, it gathers faith in the entire Kanto region, and the first visit is crowded with many worshippers. Hikawa Shrine names are located mainly in Omiya, Saitama Prefecture, Tokyo, and Kanagawa Prefecture, and there are more than 280 companies.

Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"! This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS". Today, I would like to introduce Ikumi's post "Ukimido and cherry blossoms in Nara Park". The view of the cherry blossoms in full bloom and the sunset is one of the superb views. Nara Park, located in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, is an urban park located in the east of Nara City and designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty. It has a total area of about 502 hectares, and the park is dotted with Todaiji Temple, Kofukuji Temple, Kasuga Taisha Shrine, National Museum, etc. It is a popular tourist destination with many tourists from Japan and abroad. Perhaps the most famous attraction in Nara Park is the approximately 1,300 deer roaming freely. The deer in Nara Park are wild animals that are designated as national natural monuments. It is possible to feed only deer crackers sold nearby. It is important to observe rules and safety. In spring, it is a famous place for cherry blossoms that has been selected as one of the top 100 cherry blossom viewing spots. You can enjoy various cherry blossoms such as Somei Yoshino, Higanzakura, Yamazakura, and Narakokonoezakura. The best time to see them is from March to early May. In recent years, the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms and deer has become a hot topic on SNS for being like a peachy town. There are plenty of restaurants in the area where you can have a delicious lunch. You can enjoy delicious dishes unique to Nara such as the long-established Yoshino Honkazu Tengokudo and Chagayu Tower Teahouse. ◆Nara Park◆ 【Address】〒630-8212 Kasugano-cho, Nara City 【Access】 About 8 minutes on foot from Kintetsu Nara Station 【Parking lot】Available (Please check the official website for details.) ）

Introducing the photos posted on "Minna no Post"! This is a pickup post on the inbound tourism information SNS "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS". Today, I would like to introduce Yuki's post "Cherry blossoms in Shinjuku Gyoen bathed in the light of the setting sun". It is a beautiful photo of the cherry blossoms that have increased in color with the setting sun. Shinjuku Gyoen, which straddles Shinjuku and Shibuya wards in Tokyo, is a landscape garden that was born in 1906 (Meiji 39). The garden covers an area of about 58 hectares, and you can enjoy nature throughout the four seasons. In spring, it is a popular cherry blossom viewing spot where about 900 cherry trees of about 70 species are in full bloom. Since the flowering time differs depending on the type of cherry blossom, you can enjoy the cherry blossoms for a long time, from the early-blooming Kawazu cherry blossoms in January to the Yae cherry blossoms in April. Many people visit it as an oasis in Shinjuku's building district. In addition, there are restaurants, cafes, greenhouses, children's squares, etc. in the park, and there are many attractions. From late March, the cherry blossom light-up event "NAKED Sakura no Shinjuku Gyoen 2023" will be held. In collaboration with NAKED Co., Ltd., you can enjoy various light-ups, projection mapping, and cherry blossoms. 【Event Period】Friday, March 31, 2023 ~ Sunday, April 23, 2023 During the busy season when last year's cherry blossoms are in full bloom, advance reservations are made for admission, and although there is no announcement at this time, there is a possibility that the same will be made in 2023.

Okinawa Prefecture "Shuri Kinjocho Cobblestone Road" I have traveled many times, but the timing was miraculous when there were no people at all and it was sunny. Everyone only goes to Shuri Castle, but there is a very good place in the back. A place where spring weather looks good.

The Plum Blossom Festival is now in progress at Kairakeun, one of Japan's three great gardens. About 3,000 plum trees of about 100 varieties are planted in the vast garden, and the feature is that you can enjoy the plum blossoms for a long period, with early blooming, middle blooming, and late blooming. Currently, 70% of flowers are bloomed. Beautiful night illumination also happened last weekend.

Yakushi Ski Carnival, Torch Downhill... Children of Yakushi Ski School. Why? I thought they wouldn't turn off the lights, (^_^;) but it seems that these kids have just entered the class. I wonder if you didn't turn off the lights because it was dangerous to turn them off? 2023.03.04.Shooting. #Torch downhill #Torchlight downhill #Ski Carnival #Yakushi Ski Carnival #Ski school #Yakushi Ski School #Beginner class #I want to connect with people who like photography #I want to connect with people who take pictures #Photography is my driving force #My world through the viewfinder #Yakushi Ski Resort #Uonuma City #Niigata #Torchesski #torches #skischool #uonuma #uonuma_pic #niigatapic #gataphoto #japan_night_view #japan_of_insta #wu_japan #lovers_nippon #niigata_japan_ #Niigata Travel Mug #Bakka Nice Niigata #Snow Country Camera Club #Yamanokuni

The national Hitachi Seaside Park in Ibaraki Prefecture is very beautiful not only for the synonymous nemophila, but also for the golden rape blossoms. If you go at the best time, you can enjoy the rape flower carpet and nemophila hill at the same time.

In spring, Awaji Hanasajiki Park has a nice color for the rape flower field and blue sky.

I was taking a walk around the neighborhood a while ago and the plum blossoms were blooming! Since that time when I felt that it was already spring, now there are warm days that are completely springy, and I am amazed at how fast time passes.・・* I was taking a walk around the neighborhood a while ago and saw plum blossoms in bloom!! I was surprised at how fast the time has passed since then, when I thought it was already spring, and now the days are warm and spring-like?

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo The view of the cherry blossoms from the first floor of the Hunter House is also recommended ?. Personally, I like the view of the cherry blossoms and the Ferris wheel at the amusement park from the second floor. Maybe it's only now that I see that scene...

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo I look forward ? to going there every year At the Hunter House

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo Favorite composition ? Everyone is photographing the Hunter House from the courtyard of the Hunter House, but that would only be the same photo as if the cherry blossoms did not enter. I dare to shoot with this composition with a telephoto lens from the outside of the fence alone outside the Hunter House. The beautiful cherry blossoms are blooming, so I want to make the venerable building look gorgeous. However, with this composition, the outside fence is captured, so a good telephoto lens is required.

When rape blossoms begin to bloom, is it the yellow effect of the vitamin color? I feel like spring is suddenly coming. Rape blossoms and yellow roof pavilions on the Aichi Ranch Very nice location

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo The view from the Hunter House I like this scene and it is a place of memories that my parents took me to visit every year with my family, but to be honest, it is very sad because there is a problem with the scenery when a multi-story parking lot can be built in the view from here.

Kobe Municipal Oji Zoo A place of childhood memories It is ? very unfortunate and sad that this scene may also be abandoned in the future due to the university attraction issue.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce aki.06261949's post "Omura Park in Nagasaki". The row of illuminated cherry blossom trees is a fantastic picture. Omura Park, located in Kushima, Omura City, Nagasaki Prefecture, is a park on the ruins of Kushima Castle (Omura Castle), which has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Historical Parks of Japan". In spring, about 2,000 cherry trees bloom throughout the park, and it has been selected as one of the "100 best cherry blossom spots in the Japan". Starting with Omura cherry, which has been designated as a natural monument, you can enjoy more than 21 varieties of cherry blossoms.

This is the view from the ruins of Nango Castle in Nichinan City, Miyazaki Prefecture. It is my favorite spot with the sea, islands, townscapes and iron bridges spreading out below. And in spring, the early-blooming cold cherry blossoms further color the scenery. This is private land, but the owner has maintained it and opened it free of charge in the hope that many people will enjoy the scenery of the former mountain castle. While chewing on gratitude, this scenery as if you were the owner of the castle is exceptional.

Kawazu Nanataki Loop Bridge Looking up from the parking lot, you can see Kawazu cherry blossoms on the slope and a starry sky in the background. I think it's a place worth seeing.
