A waterfall in the primeval forest of Wakayama, which is also the highest waterfall in Japan, is a wonderful tourist destination. It was the most anticipated sight of my trip and when I reached it, it didn't disappoint me. The view of Nachi falls, Seigantoji Temple, and the view of spring forest was stunning.

The approach to Oku-Nikko Onsenji Temple in Tochigi Prefecture Snow covered in lanterns lined up, It's like wearing a matching hat. A wooden path leads from the middle of the approach to the Yumoto source. The view from the wooden path is also superb.

The Milky Way rising from the earth Shot in Biei, Hokkaido The shooting date was August 7th, exactly Tanabata. There were no clouds, and Orihime and Hikoboshi were able to meet safely. * Tanabata in Hokkaido will be on August 7, one month later because it adopts the lunar calendar.

Kakuenji Temple in Kamakura. Although it is far from the city and the station, there are few people and it is a hidden attraction that is in harmony with the autumn leaves. The mountain gate and autumn leaves illuminated by the bonfire immediately after the sun went down were beautiful to look at forever.

The plum blossom feast was beautiful in Mie Prefecture.

Mizonokuchi Cave ? in Soto City, Kagoshima Prefecture There is already a ? mysterious atmosphere from near the entrance This place is a natural monument designated as a nationally designated cultural property, and there was an indescribable atmosphere in the air. I'm not sure how to shoot it, but the point is ? to photograph the torii gate in Okugawa from the cave side. So I think ? it's better during the day when the sun is rising.

The Oigawa Railway, a railway abt train floating on Lake Tangdake. This spectacular view is fascinating. It is a push view.

While shooting the sunset and torii gate at Lake Hamana in Shizuoka Prefecture, a boat happened to pass by and I clicked the shutter with enthusiasm. The timing was right if it was a little slower, but it's not easy to do that. It was fun again.

This is a sunset taken at the Matama Coast in Oita, Kyushu. I had a wonderful time with many suns overlapping.

When I visited Kochi Prefecture with a gathering of relatives, I rented a car and spent two days photographing the nature of Kochi. I was driving along the mountain road toward Yasui Valley to see Niyodo Blue, but I involuntarily parked the car at the beautiful Niyodo River that stretches on and released the shutter. This scenery, which should have been only halfway to my destination, was the moment when I experienced the nature of Kochi Prefecture.

The cherry blossoms of the Meguro River are bathed in the western sun. Away from a tourist attraction A piece of quiet everyday life. The scattering is so beautiful that the surface of the water turns white.

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 "YUTO's post "Hokkaido Monbetsu, shooting with crab claws in the background, a tourist attraction". The sparkle of jewelry ice cream is fantastic. Monbetsu City, Hokkaido, which faces the Sea of Okhotsk, is based on agriculture, forestry, and seafood processing in addition to fishing. Monbetsu City's hometown tax return goods, which are rich in seafood, are also talked about because you can get large scallops. Monbetsu City is also famous for drift ice docking in winter. The drift ice cruise of the drift ice breaker "Garinko-go", which moves forward while crushing drift ice, is very powerful! It is also popular with tourists. There are plenty of sightseeing spots in the vicinity as well as drift ice. The "Crab Claw Statue" object, which is also a popular photo spot near Monbetsu Port, is 12 meters high, 6 meters wide, and weighs 7 tons. It was made during the "Drift Ice Art Festival" held in 1983 (Showa 58). The Okhotsk Tokkari Center, where you can interact with seals, and the Hokkaido Okhotsk Drift Ice Science Center GIZA, a science center, are also recommended for sightseeing in Monbetsu City. The jewelry ice cream in the photo is the drift ice that washed up on the beach. It is not just a block of ice, but is characterized by high transparency. It varies depending on the weather conditions, but the best time to see it is usually around mid-January ~ early March. It is mainly found in the Tokachi River in Hokkaido and is popular with photographers because it can take photogenic photos. Tours are also held early in the morning when the jewelry ice is launched. ◆Monbetsu City◆ 【Access】 Plane Tokyo (Haneda Airport) - Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport 1 round trip each day Please check the official website for details.

I visited Meiji Jingu Shrine almost every season. Even in a densely populated city like Tokyo, there are very few places where you can see such beautiful seasonal changes. So it is an ideal place to visit any time of the year. This picture was taken during the snowfall and it looked absolutely surreal .

Beautiful red bridge, green mountain, passing clouds and deep thrilling gorge that is what I witnessed during my trip to Tateyama kurobe. The scenery of the passing train Over the longest bridge of this Kurobe gorge, Shin Yamabiko. So I recommend this particular place for 2023.

The Tateyama mountain range in winter is truly a superb view. From the rainy coast, the beautiful blue sky and sea. And it is a recommended spot where you can see the majestic Tateyama mountain range in the background.

I wanted to visit "Ogawa Falls" in Minamiosumi Town, Kagoshima Prefecture once. The road to the destination is well maintained, and a beautiful river is already flowing from the hassle. When you arrive, you will see a crystal clear emerald green waterfall that will take your breath away. I thought it was a process, but even when I saw it raw, it was this color. When I went, it was a great day to shoot. It seems that if it is sunny, the amount of water is not small and the color does not develop beautifully, and if it is cloudy, the light does not enter well and it does not turn the original emerald color. If it rained the day before, it would be cloudy. The best photo opportunity is when various conditions overlap! By the way, it seems that a sunny day after a few days ago was rainy! It was a wonderful waterfall worth seeing.

View of Maiko Park and Akashi Kaikyo Bridge from the courtyard of Kobe Maiko Villa. It's a bridge!

Autumn leaves illuminated in Showa Kinen Park. The ginkgo trees are famous Japan but the autumn leaves reflected in the pond in the garden are also beautiful.
