Today, I would like to introduce Kunihito Otsubo's post "Gorgeous Nijo Castle Gate". The vivid shape is impressive. Nijo Castle, officially named Nijo Castle in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, is a historic castle registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 (Heisei 6). It was built by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1603 (Keicho 8) as a guardian and lodging place for the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and it is also famous as the place where the 15th shogun Keiki announced his return to power. The castle is full of valuable historical heritage such as Ninomaru Garden (Special Place of Scenic Beauty) and Higashi Otemon (Important Cultural Property). The Karamon gate at the entrance of the Ninomaru Palace is a highlight of the gorgeous carvings on the roof. Various creatures such as shochiku plums, cranes, peonies, and butterflies are livelied. The seasonal nature and events are also attractive. Last year, "NAKED FLOWERS 2022 -Sakura-World Heritage Nijo Castle" was held during the cherry blossom season, and "NAKED FLOWERS 2022 Autumn World Heritage Nijo Castle" was held during the autumn foliage season, and a projection mapping show and light-up event were held. ◆Nijo Castle◆ 【Address】〒604-8301 541 Nijojo-jocho, Nijo-dori Horikawa Nishi-iru, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto 【Access】 By train from Kyoto Station Take the JR Sanin Main Line and get off at Nijo Station and walk a short distance Get off at Nijo Ekimae on the Tozai Municipal Subway Line and walk a short distance By bus from Kyoto Station Take city bus No. 9 and 50 to Kyoto Station ⇒ get off at Nijojo-jo-mae and walk a short distance

World Heritage Himeji Castle I've ? been excited about events lately. It was my first time shooting in a long time, and I was nervous to avoid shooting in a place where there are usually many people.

I was able to take Sunday off for the first time in a long time, so I went to Himeji Castle, a World Heritage Site. There was an event called "Kagamihana Suigetsu", and I waited for about 50 minutes for a long line in the strong wind, and the water swayed in the wind so much that Himeji Castle could not be photographed, and the use of a tripod monopod was prohibited, and the shooting time was only 4 minutes, so it was a dense shoot, so it was not very picturesque, but somehow I did my best with a camera from a long time ago and waited ? for the timing when the wind stopped. Even in such a situation, I wonder if you can easily shoot with today's high-performance mirrorless ... ?

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 "Nguyen Vu" post "Night view of Byodo-in Phoenix Hall". The contrast between light and shadow of the Byodo-in Phoenix Hall is impressive. Located in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, Byodoin Phoenix Hall is one of the World Heritage Sites of Ancient Kyoto. It is also famous for being depicted on a Japanese 10-yen coin. The history of Byodo-in Temple dates back to the first year of Tenki (1053). It was built by Sekihaku Fujiwara Yorimichi at the time, and the following year the Phoenix Hall was built as the Amida Hall, a Buddhist hall with Amitabha Buddha as its main deity. The name Phoenix Hall comes from the fact that when viewed from the front, it looks like a bird with outstretched wings, and a golden phoenix is attached to the roof. The biggest feature of Phoenix Hall is that it is built in a style that looks as if it is floating in a pond (Aji Pond). On clear days, the superb view of the phoenix hall reflected in the pond is also popular as a photo spot. We recommend shooting in the morning when it is in good light or in the background of the sunset. The grounds are full of attractions, such as the garden, which has been designated as a national historic site and place of scenic beauty, and the Brahma bell. ◆Byodo-in Phoenix Hall◆ 【Address】〒611-0021 116 Uji Renka, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture 【Access】 JR Nara Line About 10 minutes walk from Uji Station Keihan Uji Line About 10 minutes on foot from Uji Station 【Opening Hours】8:30~17:30(Reception closes at 17:15) 【Inside the Phoenix Hall】9:30~16:30 (Capacity of 50 people each time) Please check the official website for details.

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 Taka's post "Shirahige Shrine in Shiga Prefecture". The torii gate with the sunset in the background, the vast lake and the sky are fantastic. Shirahige Shrine, located in Lake Biwa in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, Kansai region, has been recognized as a Japan heritage site as a constituent cultural property of "Lake Biwa and its Waterside Landscape - Water Heritage of Prayer and Living". With a history of more than 2,000 years since its foundation, it is the oldest shrine in Omi. The goddess of the shrine was Sarutahiko no Mikoto, and it is said that the origin of the company's name was that Sarutahiko had white hair and a white demon. The benefits of Shirahige Shrine are wide-ranging, such as life extension and longevity, good luck, and matchmaking, and are believed to be the god of guidance and paving. The "Konaka Otorii Gate" floating on the lake is a hot topic for taking photogenic photos. On Saturdays, Sundays, and the year-end and New Year holidays, it is lit up and you can enjoy a superb view with a different atmosphere from the daytime. We also recommend the "Nishiomi Seven Lucky God Tour" where you can enjoy the treasure seals (red seals) of the seven gods of fortune scattered throughout Takashima City on special colored paper. There are two types of red seals of Shirahige Shrine, and you can receive the red seal of the regular and the Nishiomi Seven Lucky Gods Tour "Jurojin". ◆Shirahige Shrine◆ 【Address】〒520-1122 Shiga Prefecture Takashima City Unogawa 215 【Access】 【Car】 ・From Kyoto and Osaka From Kyoto Higashi IC, take Kosai Road / National Route 161 north 40 km ・From Tokyo and Nagoya Take Maibara JC to Hokuriku Expressway, and from Kinomoto IC, take National Routes 8, 303, and 161 south, 45 km 【Train】 From Kyoto Station, take the JR Kosei Line - Get off at Omi-Takashima Station for about 40 minutes (New Rapid) About 3 kilometers from Omitakashima Station, 40 minutes on foot, 5 minutes by taxi --------------------- ★ The 14th COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest is currently being held with the theme of "Superb Photography of the Japan"!

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 "Kafe" post "Kifune Shrine in Kyoto". The contrast between the rows of vermilion lanterns and the green is impressive. "Kifune Shrine" is an old shrine rich in nature located in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Kansai region. It has the benefits of wish fulfillment and matchmaking, and is a popular tourist spot as one of Kyoto's leading power spots. You can also enjoy the superb scenery of the four seasons, such as the autumn leaves of the main shrine and the fantastic lanterns and snowy scenery lining the approach. The annual festival "Kifune Matsuri", which is known as a summer tradition, is an event that is crowded with Shinto rituals, mikoshi pilgrimages, and invitational mochi sprinkling. The powerful Izumo Kagura is also one of the highlights. Except for Shinto rituals, general worshippers can also participate. The fortune draw of Kifune Shrine, which enshrines the god of water, has a unique reputation for its "water fortune telling" in which letters appear when floating on the sacred water. In addition, there are two types of red seals, "Kifune Shrine" and "Okumiya", and the red seal of Kifune Shrine can be written directly by the head of the Goshuin, but the red seal of the Okumiya is only written down. ◆Kifune Shrine◆ 【Access】 ・Car About 40 minutes north of Kyoto Station (about 18 km) About 50 minutes north of Meishin Expressway Higashi IC (about 20km) 【Access from Kyoto Station】 ・ Train transfer + bus Time required: about 1 hour Transfer → Kyoto Station to Tofukuji Station on the JR Nara Line→ transfer to Demachiyanagi Station on the Keihan Main Line and Ohto Line→ get off at Kifuneguchi Station on the Eizan Railway Kurama Line, and walk from Kyoto Bus "Kifuneguchi Ekimae" bus stop → "Kifune" bus stop. ・Subway + Bus Time required: about 1 hour Transfer to Kokusaikaikan Station on the Karasuma Line → Kyoto Station→ get off at Kifuneguchi bus stop on the Kyoto Bus (bound for Kifuneguchi and Kurama), and walk from Kifuneguchi Ekimae Bus Stop → Kifune Bus Stop.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is today's inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video" pick-up post. Here is a post by "puzzlumi". Autumn leaves at "Hoyama Shrine" in Kyoto Prefecture The pink leaves at the beginning of autumn are cute and beautiful. Kuwayama Shrine in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture is a shrine dedicated to the god who created the country of Tamba. The shrine and precincts are known as famous spots for autumn leaves. The autumn leaves are in full bloom from early to late November every year, and can be seen almost throughout the shrine. About 1,000 maples are colored, and the vermilion torii gate and autumn leaves are recommended photo spots. Since Omi Takajin, the deity of Hoyama Shrine, is the deity of Izumo Taisha Shrine and the main god of the great kingdom, it is said that there are benefits of marriage and marital harmony, and that the "Ansanishi" of the rock fragment dug when the Amaokayama Tunnel in the precincts is penetrated leads to the opening of the "birth canal" and is said to have the benefit of safe childbirth. In the precincts, rabbits that are said to be messengers of the gods are drawn everywhere such as stone lanterns, and one of the ways to enjoy visiting the precincts while finding hidden rabbits is to enjoy them. The visiting time of Hozan Shrine is about 40 minutes. To get there, get off at Kameoka Station on the JR Sagano Line (Sanin Line). Get off at the community bus "Hoyama Jinja-mae".

The rarely seen highway from the Akashi Bridge that supports the lifeline The car looked like a miniature car, but I was very scared when I was shooting straight down. As Bridgeworld explains, please be careful not to drop things as it will lead to a major accident!

It is a view of the Awaji Island side from the Akashi Bridge It is ? a scene that I usually see

Panoramic view from Akashi Bridge Before my daughter was born, I joined Bridge World for the first time on a date with my wife. I get tired of seeing the Akashi Bridge every day from my house, but the view from here is superb, and there is a view here where you can see the cityscape of Kobe City from the bridge up to the 90th floor of the main tower elevator.

This is a panoramic view of Kurotaki Falls in Yoshikawa, Miki City, introduced by Cool Japan video. It will be a production, but I did ? my best alone in the night when it was lit up.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! 【Today's inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video" pickup】 Posts by "st Situation" Kurotaki in Yoshikawa Town, Miki City, which became famous for miniature Niagara in Hyogo Prefecture The horizontal waterfall is lit up and it is a fantastic photo. Kurotaki is a waterfall in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, which flows down the Minogawa River, which has a drop of 4 meters and a width of about 30 meters, and is also called "Mini Niagara" or "Yoshikawa Niagara" by locals. You can see the powerful scenery, and it is a popular tourist spot as a photo spot. Another attraction is the natural beauty of the frozen waterfall, which can only be seen in the bitter cold season. In Miki City, there is a folk tale called "Manhachitanuki and Man Fox", and it is in this Kurotaki that the raccoon dog in this story lives. There are plenty of sightseeing spots in the vicinity, and at "Yoshikawa Onsen Yokatan" there are saunas, kettle baths, and open-air baths, and you can enjoy a free-flowing source bath. At the roadside station "Yoshinoji Kurotaki", locally harvested wild vegetables and vegetables are sold, and handmade konjac is a recommended gem. Kurotaki Falls, which is made of paving stone-like monoliths in the lush hills, is said to make couples happy when they visit.

Takarayama in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Climb the mountain alone in the middle of the night When you wait until dawn and see the superb view, it is ? the best reward with the best feeling.

"The World of Sumi-e" expressed ? in monochrome Treasure Mountain in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture This scene is exactly the reward for yourself when you climb the mountain with your own feet with the hard work of treasure. You can go up to this place by car, but parking spaces are limited, and this place is also becoming famous, and many photographers are coming, so I dare not climb by car. I don't think ? it's a sight to enjoy because of the loss of a sense of accomplishment.

Ryugu Castle in Mt. Hiyori, Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture When I was a child, my parents took me to Ryugu Castle by boat, and Takeda Castle in Asago City became famous, and many photographers headed to Takeda Castle to shoot the sea of clouds. I was aiming for the fog and Ryugu Castle alone.
