During my visit to western Japan last autumn, my final stop was Hiroshima. Despite its tragic history, the city serves as a powerful symbol of resilience, much like the phoenix rising from the ashes. The Hiroshima Castle, which was reconstructed after being destroyed in World War II, stands as a testament to this resilience. The castle grounds provide a peaceful retreat with a variety of trees and flowers, creating a beautiful and tranquil setting for visitors. Inside the castle tower, the museum offers a chance to explore the rich history of the Hiroshima castle town and provides breathtaking views of the city from the observation platform at the top.

It's good to have a view of the rock garden, but it's another thing to pay attention to the fusuma paintings. I feel a strange fascination. I came here to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, but for some reason my heart felt calm and warm.

I would like to say to those who are satisfied with only school trips. That's not enough to know all about Kyoto. If you walk around Kyoto, you can say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city. Where is this place? I think it's a journey to find it.

When I was walking along the Kinukake road, I turned around and saw the Niomon gate towering over me. Thank you, I'll be back. As we run, the gentle Spring sunlight shines on us.

If such a large gate is located near the Golden Pavilion and the rock garden of Ryoanji Temple, why doesn't everyone go? And that's fine. You can leave it as it is. Remembering the Rashomon gate that used to be in Heiankyo, I walked slowly, indulging in the thoughts of the thief in the rain inn under the Rashomon.

When the number of people at Nanzenji Temple increased, it happened to be in a place I was passing by. It is the entrance to the national treasure, Nanzenji Temple Hojo. Impression when I think about inviting imperial envoys and messengers of the shogunate from here. I want to let a lot of people know this, but I want to keep it to myself. With that in mind, I'm typing today

At 4:30 p.m., Nijo Castle is disappearing. It has now become a popular tourist destination. There are many foreigners who stand out, and this is what overtourism is ... And to the feeling of disappointment. I wanted to go when there were no people, but I couldn't help it. It made me sad to think that I was lucky just because there were no people under this gate.

【Matsumoto Castle】 松本城 - Matsumoto Castle Nagano Matsumoto Castle is the oldest national treasure castle in Japan among the existing five-story and six-story castle towers. In 1936 Showa 11, the entire site was designated as a national treasure. Later, in 1952 Showa 27, five buildings, the castle tower, the Inuiko castle tower, the Wataru tower, the Tatsumi tower, and the Tsukimi tower, were designated as national treasures. Half of the body is illuminated by the setting sun, and the light and shadow form a wonderful harmony. Ducks swimming leisurely in the moat accentuate the enormity of the castle.

Tamba Sasayama City Daishoin While many castles in various parts of Japan were destroyed by the decree for the abolition of castles after the abolition of feudal prefectures, Daishoin escaped the disaster, but it was unfortunately destroyed by fire in Showa 194 1944. After that, it was rebuilt in April of 2000 Heisei 12 Heisei 12 with the passionate wishes and precious donations of citizens. The structure is similar to Nijo Castle in Kyoto.

The Great Buddha watching over Gifu This is the Great Buddha of Gifu in Gifu Prefecture Among the Great Buddhas, it is made in a slightly slouched state, which is rare. Its history dates back to the 1800s, and it watches 😆 over the city of Gifu to this day

【Twin Dragon Ceiling】 Kenninji Temple Kyoto Kenninji Temple is famous for having Tawaraya Sotatsu's "Wind God and Thunder God Diagram" and Kaihoku Tomomatsu's fusuma paintings. The hall was rebuilt in 1765 and is a designated tangible cultural property of Kyoto Prefecture. On the ceiling of the hall is a "Twin Dragon Ceiling" drawn by Junsaku Koizumi in 2002 to commemorate the 800th anniversary of its founding. A piece unique to Kenninji, which always challenges new things and adapts to modern times.

After climbing the wonderful gate, I looked at it from below. I was surprised that it was so big. I thought it would be nice to look at it from below. The thought that the great thief under the heavens also saw this scenery gave me goosebumps. It's chilly and I can't stop the excitement that doesn't subside even if I put on a coat.

Nanzenji Temple's dry mountain water, this garden, which is famous as a famous garden, has a calmness that is different from Ryoanji. Beyond this is the Traditional Japanese straw raincoat tiger of Kano Souyu, which is an important cultural property. It was a day when I felt that the days of being surrounded by cultural assets were impression.

You! Hello! I'm from the photography club! It's been a while since the photo contest started. Thank you so much for the likes! Encouraging to post!! Let's all have fun until the deadline by the end of June! The image is the illumination of Toji Temple!

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. If you also visit the Inner Shrine, it is also recommended to taste Specialties dishes such as Ise Udon noodles from Ise Specialties and beef skewers from Matsusaka beef at Okage Yokocho, which is a stone's throw away.

Kobe Maiko's Transfiguration Pavilion and the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. There are two types of history: the history that our predecessors have preserved, and the history that we will pass on and protect to the future.

Funaya in Ine, Kyoto Whenever I look at it, I feel that it is amazing to be able to maintain this scenery even though it is close to the sea, and it seems that the reason why Ine Bay is less affected by disasters is because Qingdao, which becomes a bay, protects it.

A special scenic crane turtle garden created to welcome Tokugawa Iemitsu. From there, you can see Toshogu Shrine. The garden representing cranes and turtles may have been intended to symbolize the eternal prosperity of the Tokugawa family.

This is one of the mountain trails in Hyogo Prefecture, the former Fukuchiyama Line Abandoned railway lines! It used to be a coal mine, and the site where the railway was used as a transportation route is now known as a mountain trail full of nature. While it is an abandoned railway line and you can feel the history and remnants of the past, it is an easy-to-walk mountain trail with plenty of nature and not many ups and downs, so I personally would like to recommend it to those who want to enjoy hiking with parents and children.
