[🆕 Nagano Prefecture sightseeing map has arrived]
The 2025-2026 edition of the Nagano Prefecture Tourism Map has arrivedThe 📦️ cover is ... Yes, it is a 45m antenna of the Nobeyama Radio Observatory, which will attract some attention this yearWhat 📡✨an honor 😲 to be on the cover of the tourist map of Nagano Prefecture, which has 77 cities and towns/villages
It seems that the map can be obtained at Sightseeing spots in Nagano Prefecture, so 🙆 please take a look 🦉

📍 Enoshima
It was taken on the same day as the day of the Enoden shooting.
The Sunrise seen from Enoshima Island in winter is my favorite view in the world.
When the air is clear and the waves are calm, the sun's rays are reflected on the surface of the sea, creating a golden path.
There are not many people, so it is a beautiful scenery that almost sucks you in.
It is not the same place as Enoshima in the summer, you can spend a peaceful time, and the roads are not crowded, so it is recommended.
Even though the waves were calm, it was a little windy and very cold on this day, so when you go to the sea in winter, I recommend that you bring warm clothes and hot drinks!

📍 Enoshima
This is Enoden, taken at the end of 2024.
I visit once every winter to see the Sunrise on Enoshima.
I'm sure I've ridden it many times already, but the view of the sea from Enoden is always exciting.
In particular, the sea on a winter morning that can be seen from the vicinity of Kamakura High School Station is calm with few people, unlike summer, and it seems to be a beautiful painting with a sense of loneliness.
In addition, the air is clear and Mount Fuji looks very beautiful, so it is highly recommended to heal the fatigue of the year.
* Please refrain from stopping on the tracks or entering the level crossing.

Sakura Jingu Shrine is nearby, so I often go there, but the coolest time is on a rainy day

When you walk around the city, this figure suddenly appears

I thought it wouldn't snow in Tokyo this year.
In March, the early-blooming cherry blossoms began to bloom, and then the snow fell.

Suzuka Forest Garden Light up 2025.03.15

We aimed for a day when it snowed.

It started snowing at dawn, and the Water of the Water on the road began to increase, and I was able to take a reflection shot.

For me, journeys hold far greater significance than simply reaching a destination. Each adventure teaches me lessons that resonate deeply within me. Under the vast blue sky, nestled before majestic mountains and surrounded by vibrant fields of flowers, I discovered a vision of Earth that embodies true beauty. I wish the world could grasp this idea, transforming battlefields into meadows of blossoms, where weapons are replaced by cameras—capturing the stunning splendor of our planet instead of promoting conflict.

Breakfast in Enoshima is egg-covered rice from the Famous "Cafe Yoridokoro".
The fluffy Renge and golden egg yolk are the best One of a kind.
Of course, the Dried fish I ate with it was also delicious because I could feel the taste of the fish.

It's a special breakfast that I don't make at home, but if I can afford it next time, I'll try to make it myself・・・・・ Squid it's difficult ...

End of Ume Plum Rain
With rain that comes and goes suddenly
The sound of thunder breaking through the sky
When your heart is rough and you want to go out for a change of pace
A rain woman who gets such weather only

At a temple in Kamakura where water streams
Peering into a floating water pool of hydrangeas
The world that can be seen through the gaps in the flowers
It was shaking very quietly

It is said to be the best bloom in the last 20 years
I have seen the Ume Plum of "Kazahaya no Sato".
As you can see. If you don't see it, it's a loss!
