Moerenuma Park / Sapporo Moerenuma-Park/Sapporo It is famous for its glass-walled buildings shaped like a triangular pyramid, but I dared to take a picture without showing it.

Oshino Hakkai is a unique spot in the Fuji Five Lakes regional which is also a mount fuji world heritage site having super clear blue water pond. From there you can see a brilliant view of Mt.Fuji between traditional thatched roof buildings, and a slowly rotating water wheel, that will surely give you an old-day charm. Another good thing is this place is looks unique and charming in any season of the year.

It is a light up of autumn leaves of Baekje Temple in Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture. The autumn leaves in Shiga Prefecture are lit up in various places, but I like this one the most. I thought it was a beautiful place that I still wanted to attract tourists. I often saw Kyorinbo as a photo of the autumn leaves of Shiga last fall, but I would like to tell you that there will be this place in 2023.

Red Fuji ? seen from Lake Yamanaka in winter The view of Mt. Fuji dyed red was truly superb. You can take such powerful photos. I thought it was only Mt. Fuji. (using a telephoto lens)

Ketawakamiya Shrine / Gifu Ketawakamiya-Shrine / Gifu On a trip to Gifu with my family. This shrine is famous for appearing in the movie "Your Name". After passing through this torii gate and climbing a little mountain road, there is a shrine. The air was clear and I had a spiritual experience. And on the way back, I took this photo when I went through this torii gate. I can still remember the green of the mountains and rice fields and the blue of the sky. I was so moved that I can't put it into words. On a trip to Gifu with my family. This shrine is famous for its appearance in the movie "Your Name".

Binchuku Branch Temple in Soja City, Okayama Prefecture. In autumn, Kibiji can also see the collaboration of Cosmos and the five-storied pagoda.

View from the Iinoyama Observatory on Suo Oshima, Yamaguchi Prefecture. A ferry bound for Matsuyama is proceeding through Seto, where the current is so fast that it whirls.

Yamaguchi Prefecture is the Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni. The nails are made by kumiki without using a single nail. Before dawn, the silhouette of the beautiful bridge stands out against a red-colored background.

Nature itself is a treasure to any true traveler. But this place is literally a treasure hunt spot in Japan. Itoigawa's Jade Beach is a special place and one can guess that by its name. This beautiful pebble beach stretches 4 km from east to west and jade stones wash onto the shore after a day of strong waves, and tourists can be seen enjoying themselves searching for fresh jade stones. We also picked up some stones and the experience was truly amazing.

Last summer, my family of four climbed Mt. Fuji for the first time. The road was more difficult and difficult than I had imagined, but the scenery above the clouds in the morning sun was a clear world that I could never see on the ground. I was fascinated by the intensity of the contrast between the colors of the ground and the colors of the shadows.

The road was more difficult and difficult than I had imagined, but the scenery above the clouds in the morning sun was a clear world that I could never see on the ground. The sky was infinitely wide, and all the colors were so vivid that they were simply beautiful. I hope that this beautiful nature will continue for children and their generations.

Monet's pond/Gifu Monet's pond/Gifu I visited here on the last day of my first family trip in Gifu Prefecture. This pond was just like Monet's "Water Lilies"! It seems to look different depending on the weather. The nearby Nedo Shrine is also a highlight. My first family trip in a long time was to Gifu Prefecture and we visited here on the last day. This pond was just like Monet’s "Water Lillies"!!. It looks different depending on the weather. The nearby Nemihi-Shrine is also a must-see.

Hida Miyata/Gifu Hida-Miyada/Gifu I stumbled upon this station on the way from Hida Takayama to Gero Onsen on a family trip, and stopped by. The air was clear, the blue sky was beautiful, and the railroad tracks seemed to go on forever. I thought it was important not only to think but also to act on your own.

The air was clear, the blue sky was beautiful, and the railroad line seemed to go on forever. I thought it was important to take action on the spur of the moment and not just think about it.

It is sunrise over Onaruto Bridge in Tokushima Prefecture. Speaking of the Naruto Strait, the whirlpool seen from the top of the bridge is famous, but the Naruto Strait seen from under the bridge is very mysterious because the seawater flows like a river even though it is the sea. When the morning sun shines there, you can see a superb view that is impossible to speak.

Red Fuji seen from Lake Yamanaka The temperature was very low, so there was a little ice on this day. I was very satisfied to see the scenery that can only be seen in this season.

Ine Bay Scenery Ine in Kyotango, Kyoto Prefecture Even if there is light pollution at night, Countless stars shine and you can see the Milky Way clearly even with the naked eye, and it is quite a recommended spot to see as if you were in a planetarium, and you can ? see the stars from a hill from the roadside station.

Pancakes of happiness on Awaji Island The pancakes here are so delicious ? under the sea ?

Kibara School in Iida, Nagano Prefecture It is a wonderful location that will leave the viewer at ease, different from the powerful view with the large weeping cherry blossoms and wooden school building used as a movie location. I'm looking forward to seeing the cherry blossoms in full bloom again this year.

This water Shangri-La of Gunma prefecture is a hidden treasure that I found out t last spring. Minakami has all the things that give one peace. I don't know why this place is so underrated, at least among foreigners, since it's only an hour away from Tokyo by Shinkansen. I would want that everyone visits this place during spring, autumn, or snowy winter. Because this city is unique in every season

Ice bubble in Hokkaido, Lake Nukabira. It is a rare phenomenon in which air bubbles are trapped in a frozen lake. This time, it was extremely cold below -20°C because it was shooting at dawn, but when I found it, the cold was blown away! The Taushubetsu River Bridge is also famous in the Lake Nukabira, but this is also deteriorating and it is not known how long you will be able to see the current 11 arches, so it is a recommended spot right now!

While the illumination of the cherry blossoms at night is canceled across the Coronavirus pandemic, the cherry blossoms of the Meguro River are illuminated by ordinary street lamps. It's a pity that there is no illumination, but I was able to reaffirm the beauty of the place.
