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 "chibiphoto" post "Dawn of Mount Yoshino in Nara Prefecture". The foggy and Japan scenery is impressive. Mount Yoshino (吉野山, Yoshinoyama) is a general term for mountain ridges that stretch for about 8 km at the northern end of the Omine mountain range in Yoshino Town, Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture, Japan. The entire mountain has been certified as a World Heritage Site as "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range". In spring, about 30,000 cherry trees color Mt. Yoshino, and it is also famous as a famous place for cherry blossoms. The best time to see it is from early to late April. You can enjoy rhododendrons and hydrangeas in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and the beautiful scenery of the silver world in winter, making it a popular tourist destination throughout the four seasons. Japan oldest ropeway, the Yoshino Ropeway (Yoshinoyama Cable), is also one of the attractions. It is also recommended as a view spot for cherry blossoms and maples. There are plenty of activities around Mt. Yoshino. At Kardia Campsite, you can experience rafting and canoeing, and you can stay overnight with your pet in the bungalow. At Cottage Izumoto, where cottages are lined up along the river, you can enjoy fishing and playing in the river. The large cottage is perfect for family trips. ◆Mount Yoshino◆ 【Address】〒639-3115 Nara-ken, Yoshino-gun, Yoshino-cho, Yoshinoyama 【Access】Kintetsu Yoshino Station Ropeway Yama Upper and Lower Car Please check the official website for details. 【Parking lot】Available

Okinoshima Island is located in Tateyama. The sky peeking out from the forest was very beautiful. Even in summer, it was cool with a lot of nature in the shade. The sky peeking out from there was blue, reminiscent of Ghibli.

It will be a five-storied pagoda in Toji Temple in Kyoto. The feeling of reflection on the surface of the water and the orange leaves in the shadows were very beautiful. There are many historical buildings in Kyoto, so you can relax.

This is the evening view I saw while passing along the Isahaya Bay Reclamation Embankment Road in Nagasaki. After a few minutes of watching, the colors changed and it was very beautiful.

This photo was taken from the west pier of Taketomi Island, where I went on my honeymoon. I like the blue of the sky and the emerald blue of the sea because it is very beautiful. Taketomi Island was very calm and I wanted to go there again.

View from the Mesenozaki Observatory on Zamami Island in the Kerama Islands. This photo was taken just before the sun sets on the horizon at midsummer sunset. It is famous for its world-class beautiful sea, but it is also a place where you can see such a view.

Mt. Fuji seen from Lake Kawaguchi in the midst of autumn leaves. The solid red leaves looked simple and even more powerful. It's a classic among the classics, but it's recommended for both overseas and Japan people.

Hakusamu Shrine in Sapporo I visit every morning. The shrine in winter is beautiful. Unless it becomes a very blizzard, I come to say hello every morning. The god of worship is Houji Ōkami Uta Soul Ōkami It seems that there is a benefit of increasing fortune. I feel that they have given me many more benefits than that. I am grateful.

Herons relaxing on the river

We crossed to Nakajima by Lake Toya steamer and trekked around the island in 3 hours. After walking for more than 1 hour, we arrived at the lake shore opposite the Nakajima pier. From there, Mt. Yotei (Ezo Fuji) in spring is reflected in the lake, making it look like an upside-down Fuji. It was beautiful to see the white Mt. Yotei with the remaining snow shimmering on the surface of Lake Toya. I sat by the lake and didn't want to move for a while. I had a mysterious feeling that I wanted to live here with a tepee (Indian tent) (laughs). A view that you can't see unless you come here at a certain time. It was awesome!

Sapporo International Ski Resort the next day after a lot of snow.

I happened to see moonlight while traveling in Nagasaki. THIS KIND OF THING IS CALLED MÅNGATA IN SWEDISH.

It is Matama Beach in Bungotakada City, Oita Prefecture! This is ☺️ a memorable photo taken with a SLR camera for the first time.

5 minutes by ferry from Moji Port in Fukuoka Prefecture. One photo taken in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Karato Town. The wide sky, the endless scent of the sea and tide. The Kanmon Bridge connects the great outdoors. While I couldn't travel much because of the Coronavirus pandemic, I was able to go to the countryside for the first time in a long time and feel nature. Digital content has evolved greatly in the Coronavirus pandemic, and the enhancement of "home time" has been remarkable. However, I was reminded that there is nothing better than going to see a scenery that I have never seen with my own eyes or feet. I would be happy if you could feel a sense of nostalgia from this photo. New stimuli are pleasant, no matter how old you are.

red spider liliies of Nogawa Park. Even in big cities, there was nature.
